Building an IoT Information Display

In this chapter, we will build an IoT information display using a Raspberry Pi-branded 7-inch touchscreen. We will use this information display to show real-time weather information and local traffic information.

We will start the chapter by exploring screens compatible for use with our Raspberry Pi. We will look at small Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) screens, dot-matrix displays, seven-segment displays, and small LCD monitors for the Raspberry Pi.

For our project, we will build an IoT information display with Raspberry Pi’s 7-inch touchscreen. This dashboard will not only show weather details but will also feature a map depicting local traffic conditions.

The insights gained in this chapter will equip us with a versatile toolkit, fostering creativity and innovation in future Raspberry Pi and IoT projects.

The following are the topics we will cover:
