I’m a relative electronics beginner needing to learn and implement Arduino and/or Raspberry Pi, for a project consisting of multiple small visual displays. An analogy to my project is the ubiquitous “picture cube”, a clear plexi cube that holds five pictures. I want to make a digital version of that, with the ability to display images or animations. One opposing pair of screens are both transparent OLEDs, and the content of the “front” and “back” screens can be swapped. One display is a 2.4" touchscreen and interacts with a 2.7" ePaper display. Way back in the ‘70s (I’m an old guy…) I did some flashing/chase circuit LEDs, so I’m not a complete novice, but now I need to learn Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Planning to start with experimenters’ kits. I’ve attached a photo of the actual project model, with all the displays simulated.
I understand that Raspberry Pi 4 can only control two displays (?), so I might have to make pairs of displays switchable to demonstrate all the functions; control buttons are part of the design, so that should be no prob. I also want to have all electronics inboard, but as a demo unit, an umbilical would be acceptable. Would appreciate any guidance, and recommended learning resources. Also planning to learn enough Python to make this all work. TIA
