Hi all,

Do you know if it’s possible to display blockchain stats on a screen attached to a DIY Pi running Umbrel?

Cheers,

Nathan

Yep, I’m aware of the pre-built Bitcoin Machine. My question was related to a DIY Pi.

I am wondering if I can attach the 7" screen plus the screen holder and have it display a webpage or something that I can configure to show block number, USD-BTC exchange rate, LN channel stats etc?

Maybe you can use the stuff from Raspiblitz, it should be compatible. Try a search in this forum. I think I saw something related to this in the past.

Here is the [other link](http://community.umbrel.com/t/newbie-set-up-help-with-raspiblitz/922/2).

No details, but I have asked on that thread.

Would be awesome to have a ‘Display App’ that could be configured to show a range of options on a connected screen.

How difficult is it to create apps on Umbrel and do they have access to the display port?
