(And vacuum fluorescent just seems cheesy. Go figure.) So early '60s is retro but late '60s is not. From my view 50 years down the road that seems just ... humorous. Seems like a BBB driving a good-sized 1080P display (both are cheap) would be a good platform to do something like this. You can make it count or display anything you want. Since the linux distro in the BBB has NTP installed already, it should be able to keep reasonably accurate time from a human PoV. Hmm, I am going to want a display like that for my video wall. -- Brian Lloyd 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 [email protected] +1.210.802-8FLY (1.210.802-8359) _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
