Hello, I’m currently running on apple, with the new dashboard functionality, I’d like to use (to reduce costs) an android tablet. What is the minimum configuration (mainly for display)? I’d like to display the dashboard all the time, is that possible? or does the standby function kick in? Also, is it possible to have a day/night mode? thank you. ---
