“This is a gorgeous display and thanks to the use of a standardised controller can be used for just about anything, from even timing displays to clocks or tickers.
Wifi adds a lot of flexibility: You can remotely upload code using WebREPL, you can use it to synchronise time via NTP, pull in weather data from a web API or even connect it to an MQTT broker and display some live data. The addition of buttons along both edges makes for a nice self-contained unit.
I like that the .dxf files are available so that you can easily make an enclosure and it comes from a company with a proven track record for customer support.
I have had some reliability issues but Pimoroni have made it clear that they will stand behind their product and make things right.”
