Hey /diy/, I just got this i2c screen for my raspberry pi, what are some cool things I can do with it?

I know the (very) basics of python, and I can make it print some words, but not too sure what to do beyond that.

use it as a display for your raspi while you install gentoo on it

nice double trips

I have a hard-on for classic electronic games (ie. Entex Electronic Baseball), so I would try and program a classic game for it. A rudimentary electronic baseball simulator would be pretty cool.

I'd like to try that, I'll see what I can do with the buttons on the PCB! That will be a project for me though lol.

multimeter, need just 4 potentiometers 10k, and LM324, 2x voltage and one current, and frequency meter with just a wire, resstor and zener diode, all on one mega328 or 32 or 16. Or others. But those are most popular.

that's another great idea!

maybe even no opamp, but you need to see how is internal opamps doing this job and if well then give divider, but you know that.

Well, I am using a raspberry pi here so there are no analog inputs, only digital. I'm guessing I would have to use an external ADC (probably MCP3008), though I probably wouldn't need an ATMEGA chip.

I'm planning on using a Raspberry pi as repetier server for my 3D printer so I can print over my network. I used a small Oled to display the ip-addres
