DIYer uses tiny screens to bring Lego terminals and human keyboards to life

pcgamer.com:

We've seen a bunch of cool DIY terminals lately. From this Pi powered Palmtop(opens in new tab) to this retro circular screen machine(opens in new tab). All of these designs are very cute, but this next DIY project has resulted in one of the teensy adorable little terminals I've come across.

shared one of his recent experiments on Twitter which shows off a little monitor screen working on a tiny Lego piece. The display is designed to mimic the Lego terminal pieces that slant downwards and have designs painted on them. 

In this case, the screen is actually behind a transparent blue piece for now. Brown uses these tiny and affordable controllable OLEDs(opens in new tab) to make it mimic the various old Lego control pieces. One example has block text scrolling and lights flashing, and another shows a moving circular radar. 

It would be especially neat to see some of these with bespoke Lego piece designs. They already look very cool, and present a vast amount of opportunities for future Lego screen mods. In fact, these tiny screens have plenty of other applications and Brown is already playing with some of them.

Very happy about this. pic.twitter.com/1FofmKbqJPJune 7, 2022
