Weekend Build – Room Availability Displays

It is always a frustration when you turn up to a meeting room you’ve diligently booked weeks in advance only to find it very much in use. Should you walk away? Barge in? Or design a Raspberry Pi based meeting room display?

I went with the latter.

Now, such devices already exist from a number of companies. The idea isn’t new. However, they often run into the thousands of pounds, require licencing, whole servers etc. My plan was to create something for a fraction of that cost, which could do pretty much the same job.
