U-Disp – The Digg display

Ever wanted to know how many diggs your latest digg submission is getting? Or how many unread mails you got? Or the current load of your server? How many hits your homepage is getting? The exchange rate, gold price or your portfolio value? This is definately for you, check out the video on one already set up.

U-DIsp is a eight character seven-segment display that you connect to your computer by USB. The display is controlled by a Windows Service (background) that are pulling information from a multitude of sources and can be configured to display in on one or several displays.
This video shows two chained displays being plugged into my laptop and starting up showing their built in “attract mode” for a while.
