The author decided to make an interactive weather station from an old monitor homemade.
Tools and materials:
LCD monitor;
-VGA cable;
-Glue gun;
-Screwdriver;
First, the author disassembles the old monitor and removes the LCD panel and the control board from it, and you also need a cable connecting them. The author draws attention that only the panel on which the cable at the back does not pass through the entire panel is suitable for homemade work.
Using a glue gun, fixes the display in the right corner of the window with the connector up.
I lengthened the wires and connected them (you can use any equipment to access the Internet).
As a software, a Google browser with extensions was installed. In order for the weather to be current, I installed an automatic update. Increased brightness and scale for better readability.
According to the author, the panel has been working for him for about five months now and there are no complaints about work.
