Wireless TV sign

This project features an old modified CRT television with a built-in ESP32 microcontroller. The ESP32 creates a Wi-Fi access point that can be accessed via a smartphone. Through this wireless connection, the text displayed on the TV can be customized as needed. The project was developed as a creative way to display textual information at the music venue Türkis in Aarhus, Denmark. The CRT colors have been adjusted to a turquoise tint, matching the venue’s aesthetic.

The web interface for the TV is simple, consisting of a text field and an “Update” button. Text is formatted by using specific character combinations, such as “(t)” to insert a bitmap of the Türkis logo and “###” to create larger text, similar to Markdown styling.
