    Dear community,

    Thanks again for the helpful links and tips regarding my project. I’ve now more or less completed it. The only thing still missing is a suitable flat and thin frame—then it’ll be fully done.

    I’m really impressed by how well it works with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Everything runs smoothly, and I’ve been able to install all the modules I need without any issues. The whole setup is now less than 1 cm thick. With the frame, it will probably end up around 1.5 cm.

    Unfortunately, I still have to run two cables—one for the display board and one for the Zero2.

    Once again, thank you so much for the support! This project was a lot of fun and now gives us a great overview of daily tasks, appointments, current traffic conditions, weather, and more.

      Very nice. I have done something similar, although I prefer the Pi 3 Model A+. It’s slightly bigger than the zero 2w but is clocked faster (1.4 GHz vs 1) and has a full-size HDMI port. (they both use essentially the same SoC).

      Note I have historically had problems with running out of memory running electron in the 512 MB limited memory space - but using dietPI has really help stability
