This project has resulted in a Raspberry Pi with a 4-line LCD screen, a battery pack, indicator LEDs and control buttons so that a headless Pi can be monitored and controlled without any other input device.
It’s rather neat and the article gives you details on how it was done and all the (many) parts required, including costings. It does rely on Arch Linux, rather than Raspbian, but I daresay some enterprising soul can test it out on the more popular OS.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first
comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog.
I will keep visiting this blog very often.
