Goals

  1. Make a small display scroll lots of text, like:
    • uptime
    • load average
    • memory usage
    • network usage
  1. Make the display work over USB or serial.
  2. Make a button that toggles the backlight (if I get a display with a backlight), either over hardware or software
  3. Build a little plexiglas stand for the display so it doesn't sit on the table.
