Not exactly the classic LCARS style, but this will respond to 3d gestures when it's working.

so for reference, the cheap usb-c lipo charger is missing the 5.1K resistors on the CC lines, so they don't work with anything natively usb-c but they can be hacked on as i have proven.

thought try and avoid solder bridges to the adjacent pins, as I have not. and you can get away with 4.7K :P

I've recently upgraded the lighting in my room.
Running #WLED and with an I2s microphone, I can now have a rave in my room, or twilight esk lighting.

It replaces my older driver that looked more like something from star gate univers. And ran on a noise PC PSU. that would click on and off.

we managed to finish the night before.
all tested and working, the software was mostly done, but needed a lot of work.
the screens were setup in the bar and the BornFurs village, as we made them. they worked fairly well all Conn, with constant software updates and improvements.

After validating the design, we went into mass production. making as many as we had parts for, in time for bornhack.
they were not that hard to assemble and test, it just took way way longer than we thought.

to our great suprise the system worked fitst time.
we routed the USB so that the pi would be a host, to connect to the network. but if the screen is plugged into a pc, it puts the pi in client mode, and holds the hub in reset.
thus we can reprogram the pi easily.

originally we planned to solder bridge the pi to the flex, but that was not structural enough. so we used bits of bare wire.
with only a couple of connections on the back.
and used some foam to lift the pi, for thermal contact with the casing.
then jumper wires for power, and USB.
HDMI soldered on.

So for Bornhack, me and Akka and some friends, wanted to make some screens with inbuilt computers.
we had a whole bunch of rapbery pi compute modules free, and some nice screens free. so tested the concept.
it worked!
so I designed a flat flex, to fit as much as possible and be easy to mount. ...

so today I made some LCARS @lcars.bsky.social touch panels out of PCBs

I tested out JLC pcb's full color silkscreen printing, the result is a matte finish with good color. I got the colors from www.thelcars.com/colors.php

All the buttons work, and theres even some LEDs for status lights.
