sorry about leaving this abandoned for so long but I wanted to talk a bit about where I am with this.
still works great using a raspi 3 but it still feels like it's missing something.
on top of that there's more and more SBC's (single board computers), coming out all the time and I've been following their development to see if I can find one that not only supports composite video in some form but one that has both a GPIO and a different kind of CPU.
to that end right now I've been looking into one board that actually uses an X86 based CPU instead of an ARM based one allowing the user to run regular linux software on.
I don't have to tell you how much this speeds up not only development but also troubleshooting and such.
there's one other idea I've been experimenting with though, I've been using raspi-zero's as remote terminals so I can use their GPIO remotely, it's making me wonder if I can do things that way with just a bunch of specialized one's designed with a connector of sorts that allows me to clip onto/tap into various hardware lines and such then just ssh into and run software to capture/send data without directly connecting to the unit.
so that's where I am right now... the interface is still rather boring and work has kept me from optimizing it graphically for the low resolution of the video glasses.
