“I work in IT. Often we get customers who would like us to remove their old kit. This usually leaves us with a pile of scrap, and monitors are one of the things we find which are wasted. At home I had upgraded my own monitors and this left my older ones sitting doing nothing so I thought about ways I could utilise them to display many of our family photos that don’t often get any screen time unless we are purposefully looking through the albums.
I found the website Dakboard.com and this brought about some ideas, as I had been playing with Raspberry Pi’s; the 2 ideas were brought together.”
