The Arduino gets another project.
A little project I am working on. Web server with external display clients (Arduino) for presenting important messages. Could be everywhere from a retail establishment to an office where hearing is impaired. A Raspberry Pi would be a good low cost manageable web server, but any decent web server will do. The pages can be put as not to be part of the regular
web server pages if you wish. So you are giving the web server double duty, Displays will be text only unless you have graphics converted to text. Lowers the cost of the interfaces dramatically. Reusing old composite monitors or televisions with composite input puts old equipment back to work.
Test monitor:
Update: waiting on Arduino and or the TV.out people to resolve issues between the software libaries. Possible solution of using a standalone arduino chip via the serial port to do the video out.
