This little module slots into the express card slot and turns it into a little retractable screen that can be used to display data from a computer.
See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b9rE8ETJlLM
To build this we used:
0.96' OLED model (I2C)
Arduino Pro Micro (For HID control)
the Arduino is mounted in the computer (ours is a ThinkPad so plenty of space) and then is internally soldered to one of the USB ports (again, Thinkpad so we had lots to spare) so that data can be transferred in real-time both ways via the serial port. Great for displaying notifications, CPU temp, RAM usage, and so on.
We are on a quest to make the best ThinkChad out there, this is part 4 of the project, a lote more to come.
