Last week I read this post about a
Public Transportation Display and recognized this is only a few streets away from my home. And more important, I remembered I started a similar project a month ago as I discovered the web app from our local transportation office (
live.kvv.de). If you do a proper GET request the server sends you a json file with the traffic information.
My plan was to use one of my Ethernet boards I developed last year for my LED panels (I will post more about this project in a few weeks). But here is a sneak preview of the board:
- Powered by an Atmega 644p@20Mhz
- ENC28J60 Ethernet controller
- Micro SD-Card Socket
- FTDI FT232 USB to serial converter
- Pinheader for an HD44780 LCD Display
