INDEXAll YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROJECT
CastDuino is a Narrow Casting Solution. It's capable of managing multiple slaves through one master, in order to show text, tweets from people, search for hashtags, show current time and execute tasks. See it as a public display or ticker, showing you time based programmed massages, a clock and it can do things like sounding an alarm. But I can think of a lot more uses. It could be used in schools for daily announcements on screen, or repeating announcements over the intercom (sound). One could use TFT,LED or LCD screens next to the classroom doors to show the next class info. Or use it in shops in order to advertise messages, or make it do things like unlocking doors at certain moments... Well if you have a great idea, let me know. Back
in 2009, I was asked in our company to get some Real Time Clocks with a
big digital Display and they all had to display the exact same time.
When I started looking for those (with radio connections for time
updates), I found out it would be quit expensive.Then the next question
came. Isn't there something that can display short messages as well, and
while you're at it, we need something that makes a sound at lunch
breaks. CastDuino Arduino'sPICTURESSCREENSHOTS
