Player tracking screen display monitor - What was here? - Filled the hole.

[bigj]

Anyone have any information on the player tracking screen that was in this bracket? Model, manufacture, player tracking system it ran on? It's an 8" screen, 7.5 x 3" or 190 x 75mm. I am going to put something there to display off of a media player. I know I can just get a display, but it's an odd aspect and I would like to investigate the one that was actually there. Thanks in advance Jason

This is so close at 190 x 60. I'm still on the hunt for this project.

Well, I just went with the above screen. Worked out quite nice. Downloaded a bunch of casino pics and resized them. Had a Raspberry PI laying around that starts the slide show on boot up.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
For anyone who wants to try. You need the two 180 adapters for HDMI and power, 5v 2a usb power supply for the monitor and of course the media player. Mounting is a total MacGyver, but its solid.

The two adapters...

I found a script/notes I wrote 4 years ago to turn a Raspberry Pi in to a slide show, digital picture frame thing.
I think it even had a webui to upload and manage the pictures.


YMMV

Code: [Select]

To make Raspberry Pi a Slide Show -
Put Full/Desktop Rasberry Pi OS on a SD card..
I enabled SSH and VNC on the Raspberry Pi
Change default pi password
Turn off undervoltage warnings
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
...........................
avoid_warnings=1
...........................

Install the scripts.. disable screensaver
[url]https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=228095[/url]

Make it run automatically,
sudo apt install leafpad  (nano may work)
mkdir /home/pi/.config/autostart
leafpad /home/pi/.config/autostart/slideshow-at-boot.desktop
Copy/Paste/Save -
..........................
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=lxterminal -e bash -c "sleep 5; fehshow \"/home/pi/Pictures\""
..........................

If all works OK,
Add the USB Monitor -
( [url]https://www.mimomonitors.com/pages/using-our-usb-displays-with-the-raspberry-pi-3[/url] )  I reversed the UGA and HDMI Screens to make the usb monitor the primary monitor..
this will make the usb monitor the main display
Go to directory /ETC/X11 and, using your preferred editor, create a file entitled: xorg.conf.

Copy/Paste -
..........................
Section "Device"
Identifier "FBDEV 0"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"

(do not copy/paste the ......'s)

The display should appear.

I used VLC to create a playlist named playlist from a folder of pictures in 1280x400 format to match the display. My folder is on my desktop called Pictures and the playlist file is saved there.

In the PI

To auto start VLC
Open Terminal program
Type in...
sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/autovlc.desktop

add below & save...

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=vlc --loop -f /home/(RaspberryPI Name)/Pictures/playlist.xspf

Save you can Ctrl+X
Then enter Y
Then enter

--loop will loop the playlist
-f makes it full screen

Looks like your post going to cost me some money.

I Mcguivered some Mikohn LED progressive meters into my player tracking bar on the S+
I am working with a friend to decode the Mikohn RS485/2 controller output (2 wire serial data) that feeds the jackpot amount to the Cham1 or Cham4 controllers.
The intent is to be able to feed the value into a PC/Rasberry Pi etc and the display the jackpot value on the screen of a PC along with whatever graphics I want.

I came across this screen. Its wider than what you have at 9" wide and 2.5" tall but I figure its also Mcguiverable. With or without the success of the above.
$102.54 Canadian (about $70 usd + $800 import fee) - on Temu.
JK about the import fee.

Here is a wider one from Amazon (with HDMI).

Ha, that's a stiff import fee and yes stupid projects drain the wallet. I wish I could find a display that fit perfect, but no such luck. I just did a second BB machine with the same setup. It's very cool to have. Those screens are too wide for the BB player tracking or anything that I have, but obviously this casino slide show can be done in any machine that has a hole to fill.
