- For
- Budapest transit riders who want a desk departure display
- Worth noticing
- The API returns each selected stop’s next four departures, with route colours, and the firmware sets its clock from the response rather than NTP.
Field notes
The setup flow uses the display’s own Wi-Fi network on first boot, so configuration can be done from a phone without a serial console. The documented API response includes a server time, which the firmware uses to set its clock without NTP; the page also specifies certificate checking against the ESP-IDF CA bundle.
