Simple conversion of an old tv to an all in one unit with a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Not an ambitious project but it's a start.
The Plan:
The plan is to essentially create a cradle in the back of an old tv to house the raspberry pi zero and boot straight into Linux. (repo not chosen yet)
Make any holes in the unit necessary. (hopefully route through existing holes in the TV shell.)
Test power supply and how the Pi acts on shutdown of the TV unit.
Sole any problems that may occur with the previous step.
Test the unit with Raspbian for functionality.
Add any necessary measures to allow some level of video streaming.
This project is essentially a test to see how the cabling will work for supplying power to the Pi, displaying on the TV and of how useful a Pi integrated into a TV unit can be for myself. It's also a bit of fun and learning for myself on how to use a Pi for projects.
