    Hi Nishanth,

     

    This is a complicated thing to start off with, if you're new to electronics. Such a display may need custom software too.

    Perhaps something like a BeagleBone Black connected to an existing LCD board (search for "BB view") may be easier. But you'd

    You'd also need a custom board or wiring to your switches.
