I’m a dad who can’t stop moving, as well as your local UA-cam handyman. Here to share projects and experiences. Let’s build something cool!
Digital Family Calendar on a Budget: The DAKboard DIY Smart Display
The DAKboard is a versatile and customizable option to create highly functional digital smart displays with screens of your choice for your wall or space. Shared Family Calendars are a hugely beneficial organization tool to keep everyone on the same page, and the DAKboard can offer a more cost effective solution that also compliments your home decor! It's like your own home organization assistant dashboard. I am not being paid by DAKboard for this promotion of their product.

Welcome!
Note: The video ports on the Pi are MICRO HDMI, not MINI. I misspoke in the video and forgot to edit for it. That said, the cables that I instructed for purchase on pishop are the correct cables!
they are micro hdmi ports not mini
@@christopher480 Yes, the ports on the pi are Micro HDMI. I misspoke, and then I forgot to add the correction note for that. Thank you for pointing it out!
awwww poor baby , it takes alot of set up......oh well....ppl want longer videos......not all of us have the short attention span of a mosquito.
@@christopher480 How did you know about my attention span?!? Glad you enjoyed the long format video! Every comment helps with the algorithm, so I appreciate you. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the video. I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Nice and simple to follow. So last night went and got a raspberry pi and created this.
@@claygulliver I am glad it was helpful!
Came from instagram! Ty for tutorial!
@@raquelk1270 welcome!
What is the cheapest raspberry pi I can buy to support this project? I am just trying to save money :)
@@rahul110587 the Pi Zero 2W is the “lightest” option that is officially supported, but it cannot handle a touch interface or video/animation loops.
@@turbo.dad.restores and I am okay with no touch screen.. i have a 4yo and if I do touch screen, it will be a new toy for her lol.
@@rahul110587 Heard!
Such a great video, so much detail. I have a few DakBoards running and I wish I had watched this video before! I also learnt a few new things from your video. Another alternative is MagicMirror, for people who can code and like tinkering. I love DakBoard's user interface as it requires no in depth knowledge of coding etc.
Excellent video! Thanks for the video!
@@jefftafur2429 Thank you and you’re welcome!
Great video! A bit of constructive feedback -- the audio leveling is a bit off in this video, and is quite quiet overall except the intro jingle. Looking forward to seeing more long-form uploads; the content was well-laid out and great for consumers of all experience levels!
@@jinhei Thank you for letting me know! I used the auto leveling in Premiere Pro, it must not have been as effective as I thought.
a cheaper maybe boring approach is the DODO Family Calendar,, with days down the side and 5 columns across the top, & week to a page . indestructible, no internet required , any one can use it, and flip backwards and forwards ,, a pen to write in it ,, portable too if needed
@@matthews4159 that sounds like a GREAT analog option! Most paper calendars don’t have the space for all the th in gs we have to write in, usually 12-15 events a day, but not everyone has that!
Came from Instagram. Great video i will definitely give it a try. Thank you
@@cedrickabsalon5736 Welcome! Glad you liked it.
Do you need the subscription or is the free version of Dakboard enough for use like this?
@@BojanStanikj It depends on your needs. If you only have 1 or 2 calendars to link, the free version can work great. If you need to link more than two calendar sources, or you really prefer a fully custom screen layout, one of the subscription options will probably be a good choice. The sample I show is using a free account. Personally I use a paid account as I have three calendars that I am linking, and I’m a sucker for customization.
Came from Instagram. Cool project, definitely saving for later. Appreciate the work, subscribed for future content
@@Leopteryx thank you!
Here from Instagram. I'm handing it off to my son.
@@meandlinc welcome!
I'm here from IG waiting on the full video.
Video is exporting now! Should be live tomorrow. 😊

@@stephanieparkssmith609 welcome!
Here from Instagram!
Me too!
@@FarmerBrad Welcome!
Can we have a short going over how to use it and how it works .... Very interested in setting something like this up
@@Cedar23 Certainly! This topic is currently HUGELY popular on my instagram page, so I am working on a lot of content around it right now.
@turbo.dad.restores eagerly waiting for full video 👍
