Hello everyone,
I am completely new to Arduino but since last weeks I have some experience with simple projects involving distance and weight measuring. I would like to know if anyone has experience using a computer screen as an Arduino display, for example, with a weight sensor. Specifically, I am curious if it's possible to connect a 22-inch, 220 Volt display, similar to what we see at railway stations or airports, to an Arduino and display information from sensors on this screen.
Thank you!
You could consider using an ethernet module with webserver. Then use a internet browser on you screen that connect to the webserver. Then you can show analog values, binary status, and maybe run a javascript with highcharts to view historical data stored on a .csv file.
Use a RasPi as screen controller and as replacement for the Arduino.
Normally a "display" will have a controller/driver circuit with low-voltage inputs, so the actual power consumed by the display isn't an issue.
You need to have some documentation on how the display gets data.
...An Arduino isn't the best thing if you have a video display.
If you are building your own display you might have some studying to do.
There are some good suggestions here all work. To save some $$$ to pay for the hardware use a smart TV, they are much less expensive then monitors even in 4K. Then changing size will be easy.
