Welcome to FieldStation42! This project turns your video collection into a simulated TV broadcast, complete with channels, schedules, commercial breaks, and that feeling of flipping through stations to see what's on.
The setup is straightforward: five steps from start to finish. Each one builds on the last, and you can take breaks between them.
