highly recommend, it was pretty fun/easy and I usually don't like messing with hardware

If you're interested in building one, these are based on the design by @eastsideurbanism.org

I'm not sure how tarrifs will affect the price, as I ordered all the parts a couple months ago, but hopefully it's still fairly affordable to build

So I made the third (broken) panel display my blood sugar in the center, something I've been wanting to make a physical display for anyways, so things worked out :)

I originally intended mine (the one at the top) to only be two panels wide, but I obliterated several rows of pixels while putting it together, which meant I needed to buy a new panel anyways

It's mostly inspired by these

Elsewhere in the project: The maps are really coming together! I threw some different post-processing on each environment to help them have their own feel.

We now have a beautiful cargo ship map, made entirely by @bobbie.dev! Those waves in the background are animated, btw. Looking amazing!
