Project Entry by blinky465

Now available in portrait or landscape

May 28, 2020

I’ve been pretty busy with a couple of other projects in recent weeks (and one particular one which is a real black hole for hobby time) but after seeing some awesome satirical adverts on a Facebook group, I decided to update the firmware on my cyberpunk city billboards.

Now they can be used in either portrait (upright) or landscape (sideways) orientation.

A guy called Matt came up with some brilliant spoof adverts, so I wrote some tools to convert his images into the appropriate ones and zeros and stuffed them into the onboard eeprom. The result was pretty impressive.

So I added a rechargeable battery (it was a left over Samsung phone lipo) and an on/off switch and sent him a cryptic message over the intertubes – send me your address and I’ll send you something cool for your adverts.

Amazingly, he did. So I did.

His cyberpunk junk city looks pretty impressive. And under muted lighting, the advertising billboard looks just great!

I’m calling this one done. Time to move on to the next project…..
