Build a Pi Zero W pocket projector
- programmer_dude 8y agoIs power now universally measured in mA?
- Rychard 8y agoWhat other unit of measurement would you propose for expressing the values in the link?
- squarefoot 8y agoIf it's power then it should be Watts or milliwatts, but the way the article is written doesn't seem to suggest Mick ignores the difference between power and current; he clearly knows that. I'd rather like to see power banks advertising their current capabilities in A/h than thousands of mA/h. 20000 mA/h is becoming as ridiculous as would be monitors expressing their screen sizes in attoparsecs;)
- AstroJetson 8y agoVery cool little project. The adapter board that got designed to make this is pretty neat. For $99 (Projector) and $10 for the Pi and the Adapter board ($4) (and shipping to your part of the world) you can get a programmable projector. I'm thinking of building one that I can hang on the network to do "headless" displays with.
- kej 8y agoIt's definitely a neat project, but worth mentioning that there are sub-$100 projectors running Android (so it can be headless and programmable) that also have a better native resolution than the TI DLP component used here, and video inputs (so you can use it as a regular projector, too).
- gmiller123456 8y agoThere's also quite a difference between programming for Android and programming for a Pi. To your point, there are a lot of cheaper projectors out there that make the particular projector used in the linked post unnecessary. But straight Android isn't going to be the same thing, especially if you can't (or don't) root the device.
