G+_Sergio Caballero Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello fellow KITAs... I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to the video (if any) or where to purchase it from, but I would like to make or buy the exact same marquee display LCD shown in the know how studio below the TV. I think it scrolls displaying the time and Twit's twitter handler and or tweets(?) I'm guessing you can push content to the LCD via WiFi(?) Or is the text statically programmed into the board?

G+_Ben Reese Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ said something about it pre or post-show a little while back. Pretty sure it was a Kickstarter that Leo backed. It would make an interesting KH project though. I could see using a Raspberry Pi Zero-W with a simple web page to update the scrolling text.

G+_John Sullivan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That was a long time ago. When Leo first got it, he displayed it on the Tech Guy show, but people in the chat room complained so much that he moved it. Take a look at the Tech Guy episodes. You just need to look at the images that represent each Show, you don't have to run each one. See if you see the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Sergio Caballero Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ben Reese it's definitely an interesting diy project. I would like to put this LCD outside of the conference room to indicate its in use plus many other possibilities. People just don't bother or forget to check the conference room calendar.
