+# EliteDesk Cluster Status Displays
+
+*6x Raspberry Pi Pico + 6x Waveshare ST7789 2" LCD (240x320)*
+
+## Overview
+Each EliteDesk node gets a dedicated status display showing:
+- Node name (ed1-ed6)
+- CPU usage (bar + percentage)
+- Memory usage (bar + percentage)  
+- Temperature
+- Pod count
+- Status indicator (healthy/warning/critical)
+
+## Hardware Setup
+
+### Wiring (per node)
+```
+ST7789 Display    Pico
+--------------    ----
+VCC          →    3V3 (pin 36)
+GND          →    GND (pin 38)
+DIN (MOSI)   →    GP11 / SPI1 TX (pin 15)
+CLK (SCK)    →    GP10 / SPI1 SCK (pin 14)
+CS           →    GP13 (pin 17)
+DC           →    GP8 (pin 11)
+RST          →    GP12 (pin 16)
+BL           →    GP15 (pin 20) - backlight PWM
+```
+
+### USB Connection
+Pico connects to EliteDesk via USB for:
+- Power (5V from USB)
+- Serial communication (stats updates)
+
+## Software Architecture
+
+### 1. Pico Side (MicroPython)
+- `main.py` - Display driver and serial listener
+- Receives stats via USB serial
+- Renders status bars and text
+- Color coding for thresholds
+
+### 2. EliteDesk Side (Python daemon)
+- `node_stats_daemon.py` - Runs on each EliteDesk
+- Gathers CPU, memory, temp, pod count
+- Sends to Pico via serial every 5 seconds
+
+### Serial Protocol
+Simple line-based format:
+```
+NODE:ed1
+CPU:45
+MEM:62
+TEMP:58
+PODS:3
+STATUS:healthy
+```
+
+## Files
+- `pico/main.py` - MicroPython display code
+- `daemon/node_stats_daemon.py` - Stats collector
+- `daemon/install.sh` - Systemd service installer
+
+## Status
+🚧 In development - sketched by Vixy, Day 32
+
+## Notes
+- Consider Pico W for future network-based updates
+- Could add mini graphs for historical data
+- Backlight dimming at night?
