... snip I have been looking at 10" to 12" displays with HDMI input, which would be the cleanest setup, but they are more expensive than a 19". On the other hand, laptop displays could be had for free or almost free. The BBB seems to have an LCD port, which I haven't looked into yet. I was also considering hacking picture frames, but again have little information on these. Ideally, someone has already done all the work on one of these solutions, and I can just copy it. ;) -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
