Digital Billboard

Post by MiniNorthWestern »

Morning, I am currently working on a digital billboard for my layout.
I've created an auto-rotating digital billboard using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a 3.5-inch touchscreen.
It's rough around the edges for now, but sanding and repainting should sort that out.

First an ad from our billboard "sponsor" :lol:

Another example of an advert.

Fully functional mini PC desktop too.

Finally, a shot showing the back of the billboard.
The ribbon cable will drop down through the platform and the baseboard, mounting the Pi on the underside.
Also included is a small pushbutton for safely shutting the Pi down when it is done with.

A nice modelling idea, good one. My feelings about the real things are somewhat less enthusiastic though.
