The Vestaboard is expected to be available by December 2018, with an approximate retail price of $1850. It’s got 62 different characters to choose from including uppercase letters of the Roman alphabet, as well as numbers, symbols, and even seven different colored tiles which I bet could make some cool pixel art. The board measures 37″ x 21″ x 3″ and can display up to 161 characters at a time. It can be programmed to display custom messages, content feeds you’ve subscribed to, and messages can be scheduled to display at pre-set times. Since it integrates wirelessly with a mobile app, you can send it different messages to display whenever you want. While the Vestaboard still uses the split flap display mechanisms used in mechanical sign boards and alarm clocks, it’s been thoroughly updated with modern technology. Well, thanks to the guys at Vestaboard, you can soon have one of these mechanical signs in your own home. But there was something about the wonderful sounds they made as the letters and numbers flipped over that was tremendously satisfying.
Or watch the trains come and go from the comfort of your own home. So at a quick glance you can see the next train to where you want to go. Turn you spare screen or tv into a always live departure board. Digital display technology has pretty much replaced the need for those old mechanical signboards they used to have at airports and train stations back in the day. Turn your raspberry pi into a departure board by using an existing screen or by buying a custom screen for the pi.
