  • In my last version I had a single list of tasks, and each had a list of “excuses” which were pointers to other tasks. I had filters for showing “all tasks”, “not done”, “can be done”. The one other feature that was helpful was being able to reorder tasks.

    Maybe I will get back to work on it. I thought I had found a perfect set of alpha users in the /r/productivity sub, but I’m not on reddit anymore.

    Yeah, I think newer panels are probably MIPI DSI but there are cheap controller boards for that too. I don’t think I will do this as I really don’t have a need.

    A previous, now deleted post sent me down this rabbit hole. I also understand why the OP deleted it. There are a lot of professional unboxers here who get upset with the idea of building anything.






  • I think you will need a power supply for your panel in addition to a driver board like this. This only provides the signals needed to switch the pixels but not the power to drive them. Some of these include backlight drivers but even then I think you would probably need more current for a TV than these provide.


  • I retired from embedded systems design and design-for-manufacture a decade ago. Reading datasheets was most of the job. This doesn’t look too daunting. It’s a single interface between two readymade components. I’ve identified where some issues might come up, and there are probably some that I don’t know about yet. Still this seems less like building a circuit around existing ASICs and more like hooking up stereo equipment to me.
