# RPi-status-on-OLED #

To provide the Status of your Raspberry (tested on Zero, 2, 3 and 4) to an ST7735S OLED Display.

I use this script to get a quick and up-to-date status of the system every time I walk past my Raspberry Pis.
In this way I can see at a glance the current workload, whether problems are looming and whether the service is currently running.

My Raspberrys are mounted in my 19Rack:

```
* DATE: current date
* IP: IP Address of Pi
* PING: status of ping to local and remote adress
* MAIN: kind of mainboard
* CPU: usage of CPU
* RAM: usage of RAM (the red/green/blue bars stands for GPU advised RAM)
* GPU: size of GPU reserved memory
* TEMP: temperatur of CPU (switched to yellow or red in hotter case)
* SD: current used size and full size of sd card. changed in purple in case your sd it oversize. change in red in case of near of size limit

```

## Installation ##
install all needed packages to prepare the software environtent of your Raspberry Pi:
```bash
sudo raspi-config
and enable Interface type SPI
```

```bash
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-pil git libatlas-base-dev
sudo pip3 install RPi.GPIO psutil numpy netifaces spidev
```
and this tool itself:
```bash
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/Starwhooper/RPi-status-on-OLED
```

OPTIONAL: if you with to get some beauty fonts, to use them to show a prettier hostname, do this:
```bash
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
```

## First configurtion ##
```bash
sudo cp /opt/RPi-status-on-OLED/config.json.example /opt/RPi-status-on-OLED/config.json
sudo nano /opt/RPi-status-on-OLED/config.json
```
Check https://github.com/Starwhooper/RPi-status-on-OLED/wiki/explain-config.json to get more details about the config.json file

## Start ##
add it to rc.local to autostart as boot
```bash
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
/opt/RPi-status-on-OLED/status.py
```

## Update ##
If you already use it, feel free to update with
```bash
cd /opt/RPi-status-on-OLED
sudo git pull origin main
```
