tbh we could have just thrown it away

This multimedia station is currently looking for a name. Once it has a name the station will be part of our community.

How to use

Turning it on

  • turn on the socket (the indicator light is not bright)
  • turn on the computer
  • turn on the projector

Turning it off

  • shut down the computer
  • shut down the projector
  • the projector might need some time to cool down, so don't turn off the socket immediately

Using your own device

  • there have been problems using the projector with some computers. Feel free to try it out and report
  • Sound system can be used by just connecting your device to the 3.5mm Jack plug

Parts used

  • remains of Lious old Thinkpad with 4GB of ram, WiFi, USB and HDMI
  • projector ThemeScene H073 which apparently only works with VGA signal and 1280*768 resolution. The picture is slightly blurry currently. Maybe there will be a solution with less adapters and a shorter VGA cable
  • some mini amplifier + 2 speakers, connects via 3.5 mm jack
  • keyboard and mouse which take up the two existing USB ports
