Thanks for your great post! That phone is a nice find.
I'm using a Pi Zero and LED matrix showing instrument data/engine temp in bright LED, daylight readable. It is attached to the mast enclosure below deck for now. I added a remote control to cycle through the data set. Each value is quickly scrolling in 2.5 sec intervals. Faster than that is a challenge for Node Red, not really clear for me why. Even when limiting the data rate with a delay node and QOS set to 0.
I can read it from 9 meters away, digits are about 4 cm in height I estimate. Readable during daylight at the steer. I have to be seated though, not standing, better would be to bring this DIY repeater outside under the sprayhood but that would need an acrylic housing and 12v input (or battery pack). I'l soon post a video,
