Electronic Window Display
The Makerspace has a window display unit which can display images in Portrait format. If you teach a class or have some other PSA image you would like it to display, please add it to this page.
Due to size restrictions, you may need to upload the full-res file to the Slack, or elsewhere on the internet and post a link here.
Current Needs: investigate and correct the Overscan issue. Marisa assisting.
Problem description: the displayed image is too large for the TV screen, and the outer borders get cut off.
RCA settings menu: press settings on remote, then quickly press 1147 to display full settings
Need to research raspberry pi documentation and adjust /boot/config.txt (or equivalent) to troubleshoot overscan.
Things we've discovered:
Besides the selected playlist, the player group will also display items on the playlist named "default".

Currently looking for volunteers to sit on a committee for choosing what classes get taught
For now, If you are interested in teaching classes, you can send a resume and description of the classes you want to teach to Evan.
