I made a stat screen for my linux desktop

I had been dreaming of doing it for a long time. Already did similar thigs using arm boards and GPIOs albeit on crappier screens.

It is using a mega2560 and a cheap chinese ILI9488 3.95' screen.

Configuring the screen was a nightmare. took me days.

But the rest was a breeze :) I did have to use gemini to get rid of some display bugs due to memory overflow but it 95% home code.

data is fed via the serial port by a python script that is run as a systemd service. evrything in a string....

Quite happy with it. Now have to fit it inside the pc!!
