minus-squareJargonWagon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 days agoRight? Could just use a microcontroller for each individual screen and then a separate PC to update each microcontroller if needed.

minus-squareCaptPretentious@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoIf you’re swapping flavors (which won’t happen often) your already having to clean it. Swapping out the button insert isn’t a big ask. This doesn’t solve anything a physical sign could do better.
