Problem with using screens attached to the rpi is that they will all display the same thing, whereas a tablet, being a separate device, can load up MM² as an external URL. It doesn’t have to be a tablet, it could be something completely different. For that matter, they can be rpi zero devices with a screen attached. Those things are $5 each and while MM² won’t run on them, you can still load up a browser on them. :)

What you see there are laser cut wood pieces. The connectors and light cups are done on an Ultimaker 2.

hmmmm yes forgot about that rpi Zero… hmmm that does spark some thoughts…
I wonder if I am allowed to use this software for displaying info in our small business…
Picked up a cheap Nexus 7 tablet recently… 7" I think… still pretty good and lots around… they gave them out with new mobile contracts for a while…

Other than being ‘too much for what you’d use it for’, old tablet are cheap to come by. The trick is going to be keeping them running. I do like the rpi zero idea because they would all be connected to my main network and I can easily push updates to them that way.

For the record, I’m in the same rpi user group that’s chanting: PXE … PXE … PXE … (ideally wireless, but that’s a big overhead to have, ethernet would be fine)

Hi
Can you provide product info for the 2 you’re comparing? I like the lighter one. Thanks
