And it probably should be. We could even have a set of small plates embedded somewhere for quick swapping on demand.
I like computers, but having an individual computer to run a single drink display really is overkill. At least use one to drive all the labels simultaneously, if you still want the ability to display nifty animations of liquid flowing above the actual liquid actually visibly flowing.
Exactly. This implementation makes no sense. Unless the logos are animated, need to change frequently, or supposed to show advertising (I hope not), a backlit plastic label would do the same job just fine. In fact, that has done the same job for decades at this point.

yeah, that is the most f'd up thing, I saw it at a travel plaza, it looks like the fever dream of some tech mogul's kid that they just sink money into because they're infatuated with it.
its some serious cyberpunk 2077 shit.
I can see someone slinging a cyberdeck pinging a drink machine to infiltrate the LAN.

It uses Linux? That's actually nice to see (but do you really need a full blown OS to show a logo?)
So working on ad machines before a lot of them connect to an external ftp site to pull down the latest version of the logo. Things like this you don’t care if it’s secure or not

Not a blue screen... that's maybe a kernel panic but can't read it myself.
It's failing storage, top half of the display is EXT4 complaining it can't read the SD card, bottom half is the result of that, services can't start.

didn't systemd add a bsod equivalent some months ago? iirc optional default off so nobody will ever see it?
IDK but it's strange if true, because I'd say that a BSOD is more like a kernel panic? Obviously, I'm not an expert.

My slurped machine needs an HD upgrade? But I just upgraded it dammit!

I think the idea was a visually easier to use for beginners info screen to help with diagnosing the issue but I never read too much into it

Esp32 probably doesn't have a bios crash. My bet is a raspberry pi
Not a BIOS crash but a Linux startup has been interrupted here. So likely you're right

This implies every drink and its display is handled by its own computer running linux. Potentially mtndew has a different IP than coca cola.

How often do they change flavors that they need a full blown computer to show the logo, probably downloading it from a remote server, compared to just a backlighted sheet with a printed image?

Idk, if they're plugging in one for each screen it sounds like a lot; there are libraries to do most of this. It wpuld only take me about a month or someone competent a couple days to write this. I kbow there's libraries to display, but i don't know what else this is monitoring/controlling. So that seems safe,
So there's a computer hardware cost that goes from ~5x(4?) Per machine to ~45x4 per machine. That's ~ 2 hours of code per machine difference that this would make, assuming you were paying ~80/hr to write it, which is reasonable.
Even assuming no code was needed for the pi, production takes twice as long as expected, and electricity costs don't matter (which, next to the condenser; they may not) you break even at ~16 machines. 20 if you want to throw in some other random arbitrary cost.
Even if you assune pi 0's, at, what 20/each? You still break even before 100 units.
So it would take less than a hundred machines for smaller chips to pay off. I'd believe an exec didnt (even ask someone else to) do this math, but how long have pi's had multiple video out's?
wrote last edited by [email protected]For an Esp32 you'd need to take a larger model which has psram. With the Pi, yes a is take a zero (Zero 2w or so). The Pi already has hdmi on board and a graphics chip and accelerator, while for the ESP32 you'd need a custom solution.
The price difference is maybe 10 Dollars per piece or so. On the PI I have 512Mb of RAM and what ever SD they put in for storage. On the Esp32 I have 8 psram or so and a tiny bit of flash.
Ah right, for the ESP i probably need to wire up a sd card, custom board, all that stuff, to just store that 24bit 1024x768bit image.
Naah, while I love my ESPs and am just build a project with one - the PI is just so more competent for this task while still being damn cheap.
A decent Esp 32 board is around Eur 5, a. pi zero 2w around 20. Compute module proably similar - customer prices.
That's a 15 Euro difference.
Ah and my developer pool who can code for Unix is a LOT bigger than the pool who have commercial experience for the Esp32.
I can't follow your math, at 100 units the price difference is 100x15 for me, which is 1500.- About a day of developing for a small team, if the office and hardware is free. More if you pay for those, too.
When I calculate, custom development always is more expensive.

Have you heard of this fantastic thing called advertising?
