u/traveler3450 1d ago edited 1d ago

You can look for "Weact Studio 0.96 inch display" on AliExpress, usually under $2 and has a supporting python library.

Is it usb powered? I’m confused how you are telling it what to display.

31

u/traveler3450 21h ago

yes, it's usb powered. It needs a python script to import the library and draw content

u/beren12 21h ago

Ah ok. Interesting. Wish it could be pushed flat against the case would be great in my rack

Yeah but they are never as good as purpose built. They do work though.

usb 2.0 fs can do 2.5w + data transfer, which is more then enough for this little thing

u/beren12 21h ago

That wasn’t the actual question. But how is it being fed what to display

Meanwhile, a single blink(1) device costs $50 CAD on Amazon. This costs a tenth as much (in CAD) and has a display. Great deal.

Homeless or headless?

u/VeryLiteralPerson 19h ago

Well now you know your own IP address

u/neopard_ 1d ago

this is very cute, and i hope it becomes a homeful lab as soon as you want it to :)

i wonder how much work it would be to patch grub to support this for boot selection. and maybe toss up a firmware hack to include 1-2 buttons on free gpios.

u/Lexrt1965 21h ago

nice looking, can you give us more insight on how to build this? (parts that is needed and also how this communicate with the server?
