I'd have to buy a Raspberry Pi, as well as a TWI LCD module (see below). Not a big deal. I do currently have a Beaglebone Black, but it has HDMI output instead of composite video.

I think I saw in your code somewhere you were pulling data from what looked like a Mac usb port (/dev/ttS-usb-1433...). Any laptop will work. The python script that writes the json file is laughably simple. Don't run it in Chrome, as Chrome correctly refuses to let web-page javascript to read a local text file. Firefox has no trouble with it.

This would be the way forward. TWI for the LCD display, and the existing UART serial port for the JSON output.
Excellent!
