Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
There's a bus station across from my studio / coworking space. I can see people waiting for the bus and doing either: 1) staring into the void 2) looking at their watches 3) desperately glancing in the direction where the bus is coming from.<p>I figured that it'd be nice to let people know when the bus is supposed to be there. So, I installed a 28" display on a monitor stand, installed the stand on my window frame, turned the monitor to face the bus station, and show the up-to-date arrival time in a very big font (the buses have GPS; the Pi gets the real time info from the local transit authority).<p>This is in Montreal. Some info here [0]. And a little video [1].<p>[0] <a href="https://greg.technology/#bus" rel="nofollow">https://greg.technology/#bus</a>
