Marquee — the retro smart display

Scores, weather, stocks, and the moon, on one dial.

A small, hand-built LED matrix display that quietly keeps you posted on the games, the sky, the markets, and the moon — then rotates to the next thing on its own. Designed, 3D printed, and assembled by hand in Minnesota.

Eight displays, one dial

• Live scores — MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA, NFL, and MLS, updated live
• Weather — current conditions for your zip, refreshed every 10 minutes
• Air quality — an at-a-glance AQI gauge for your area
• Stocks — track the tickers that matter to you
• Moon phase — a nightly read on the lunar cycle
• Date & time — clean, glanceable, set to your timezone
• Flight tracker — the nearest aircraft overhead, with callsign and route
• Traffic — estimated drive time for your commute, with live conditions along the way

Show all eight, or just the ones you want. It rotates through them on its own, or flip to the next with the dial.

One dial runs everything

Turn it for brightness, press to change displays, hold to sleep. That's the whole interface.

Setup takes just a few minutes — no app

Plug it in and the logo comes up. Use the dial to pick your Wi-Fi network and enter your password, right on the device. Then scan the QR code on the bottom to open your settings page and choose your teams, tickers, and zip code. Nothing to install.

Size

Measures about 6.6" W × 3.5" H × 2.4" D (16.8 × 8.9 × 6 cm). The lit display area is about 6.3" × 3.1" (16 × 8 cm) — small enough for a desk or shelf, big enough to read across the room.

Great for

A man cave, game room, home bar, garage, office, or bedside table. An easy gift for the sports fan or the person who has every gadget but this one.

Made in Minnesota

Northern Bytes is a one-person shop. I design the boards and firmware, print and assemble the enclosures, and check every unit on my own bench before it ships. If anything's ever not right, message me and I'll make it right.
