Say hello to InfoNinja.
InfoNinja is an Open Source Ethernet-connected desktop heads-up display. It works in tandem with a desktop computer to give you an at-a-glance secondary display of both text and ambient (color/blink/fade) information.
It is also a tea timer.
The source code, schematics, laser-cutter files, and assorted other design documents are at the GitHub repository: https://github.com/BrianEnigma/InfoNinja
Very cool! 🙂
