Prepare Display Screens #76

Closed mildlyincompetent closed 5 years ago

mildlyincompetent commented 5 years ago

Make sure we know what will be running on display screens at the competition, ensure these are up to date and functioning.

PeterJCLaw commented 5 years ago

I'm expecting that the display screens will show the usual gamut of arena corner, staging and general information respective to their locations (four in the arena, a couple by the entrance(s) and some large ones generally in the venue). The software for this is part of the SRComp suite and is highly reliable.

Unless it's covered elsewhere, it would be useful to also check:

See also #96 for preparing the Pis.

The screens for the corners are in storage see #183

Tyler-Ward commented 5 years ago

we will be getting some (6) pi vesa mounts for Smallpiece that we should consider using at the competition. to make the screen setups easier to setup in one location and then deploy elsewhere.

RealOrangeOne commented 5 years ago

Sounds like a good idea! This might seem like a stupid question, but I assume those vesa mounts still allow for the screens to be mounted using vesa? That's quite important for mounting to the scaff.

not directly however we are also ordering some of these that do https://www.scan.co.uk/products/silverstone-sst-mva01-vesa-extension-bracket-enables-mounting-of-nuc-with-monitor-arm-75x75mm-100x10

PeterJCLaw commented 5 years ago

Historically SR has constructed our own mounting situation and it's been fine (folded card works remarkably well, plus you don't need to worry about geting it covered in tape). While I appreciate the desire to level up here, it seems a little odd to do so on a year where we're otherwise trying to be very frugal with our funds.

Tyler-Ward commented 5 years ago

I was mostly considering using the ones bought for small-piece rather than buying any more.

PeterJCLaw commented 5 years ago

Ah, sorry, I see. If we already have some to hand, then :+1:

PeterJCLaw commented 5 years ago

Blocked on the Pis making their way to me for configuration.

PeterJCLaw commented 5 years ago

We've worked out a plan for what's going where. The remaining part of this is actually configuring the Pis, which is covered by #96.
