The Internet Times

Hope you read the previous part of the departure board.  Else check the pictures. ;)   --  So I think that the departure board was OKAY, and I kept there. But the reality was that it also needed to be improved a lot.   Energy consumption, component quality stress, fragility, versatility, UTILITY.   I must highlight again that I have "recovered" this screen from a laptop, then I bought a frame kit from Aliexpress. I remember that the frame was really expensive but was precise. It offered a very tiny room for the Raspberry, which I thought it could actually burn the display, but that didn't happened. The display can support a lot of heat apparently. The deployment started to be really important, since every iteration you could emulate sure, but then eventually it must be added to the device like several times per minute. I have created few scripts for versatility. I have found problems with the browser. At the begging I was using chromium, which opened with an...

A screen that tells you when the next train is coming, built with the same complexity as a Mars mission. It all started on the blue line to Kista , riding Stockholm’s Tunnelbana. Half asleep, I was staring at the glowing “next departures” board when it hit me: "What if I built one of those for home?" Sure, I could’ve just opened an app like any normal human, but I chose the long, slow, bug-ridden path. Naturally. A while later, for my birthday, Roberto gave me a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W . Why? No idea. But clearly, it was fuel for my urge to overengineer things. With that little board in hand, my fate was sealed. Weeks later, we went to a Hopsworks meetup in Södermalm. Being a good Scandinavian tech event, it was full of beer. And not just any beer— Hopsworks has its own craft beer line , with labels that look like they came straight out of a DataFrame. Absolute chef’s kiss. They were showing how they use the Trafiklab API to feed an AI model that predicts public transport del...
