Happy New Year all!
I got a Digital Photo Frame for Christmas, a very nice one from Toshiba. It takes all sorts of cards and a USB connection.
It occured to me - for ages now people have been selling LCD or VFD displays as little system readouts, showing things like CPU temp, fan speeds, media playing information, news feeds etc. Things like this :::SoundGraph::: Innovation of Human on Digital Network or techPowerUp! Review :: Soundgraph iMON VFD :: Page 1 / 6
They've always been £50 or so for 2 line monochrome LCD displays. For £50 you can now get digital photo frames, many of which are a bit rubbish, but nevertheless have something like 720x480 resolution in colour.
So, thinkers/hackers/coders... could it be possible to use my digital photo frame like the old 2 line LCD displays? Even if it was only monochrome, just text, whatever? It won't work as a straight forward monitor because it attaches over USB, but so do the LCD displays...
All thoughts, ideas, free programs or excellent Google searches turning up results that I haven't found, very welcome!
