I have something similar that shows when the next bus is leaving our nearest stop.
I really like it, and I would be tempted to invest in something larger for putting my calendar on the wall in my home office, but the big problem with this sort of thing is that cases are always a disaster.
My bus Pi is in a really janky case because there was only really a couple that would fit with the ePaper display on it.
If I could buy something about A4 size, in a sleek case that I could wall mount nicely, and have good hackability on, I would absolutely do it.
- diabeetusman 6y agoThe Remarkable (an e-reader with a pen) is fairly hackable, but it's overkill for a dashboard.

- vb4 6y agoI used an IKEA picture frame for this purpose. It was relatively easy to fit one of the larger Waveshare screens inside, I only needed to cut a hole into the cardboard on the backside for the wires. A Pi Zero fits pretty nicely behind the cardboard piece that holds the screen in place, as the frame is rather thick. If you only glance at it, it looks like I framed a paper printout of my agenda.
