Up to 12 bits per pixel digital RGB, CGA/EGA/Amiga/other 8bit computers and some 8/16bit consoles, to HDMI converter. Written in bare metal ARM. Sampling pixels at 96MHz clock for pixel perfection.

Depends on your definition of `cool'; here's a multi-zone Smart thermostat... https://joetruncale.medium.com/thermos-d089e1c4974b a smart cat flap... https://github.com/gerrito333/mousehunter-edge/blob/master/R... and a meteor detector! https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/diy/raspberry-pi-m...
