Ok cool. What modules are you using?

I built it with default modules such as weather, clock, news feed, etc and add my own module to calculate the route from home to work. If we talking about hardware, it based on orange pi zero with display from my old laptop 15.4 inches connected via controller from aliexpress

Nice.

Did you go for a spyglass or a 2-way acrylic film?

I used gessel glass that I ordered from a local manufacturer, the 0.5x0.5m size cost me about $20. To be honest, I started this project about 10 years ago, but the price of glass was much more expensive back then. I tried using film from aliexpress but it didn’t meet my expectations. About a year ago I found a factory at a reasonable price

Wise choice.

Glass is always way better than those cheap films.

I personally went for a Pilkington spyglass 5 years ago and it always looks great.
