Hi,

I came by because "duf" was mentioned in the Ubuntu Podcast and saw that you're quite active on Github and this project caught my attention, sounds interesting. I would like to see a picture of it in action or a changing GIF would be nice. Also, I was wondering, what the Neopixel is for? Last but not least, I thought to myself: Have I a display that fits? I had to search what yours are. Would be nice to amend the product number with: OLED 128x64

Cheers Tido

Agreed, I need to do a better job in the marketing department :smiley:

Here's an example of Saloon running as a weather station in my office: image

There's actually a whole variety of displays (a couple dozens at least) supported by the u8g2 library. The Neopixel can be used for alerts/notifications: incoming messages, alarms, etc.

Thank you. Good idea with the notifications. The design of the housing is quite unique. Did you make it with a 3D printer?

Yeah, it's a modular & parametric case I've designed, which you can print on your 3D printer: https://github.com/muesli/modular-case. There are a bunch of modules for all kinds of boards, sensors and displays.
