GPS data on LCD 20x4 Screen - Osiyeza - 2018-03-08 Hello everyone. We wish to equip it with DIY electronics. The OpenPlotter solution seems to be the most complete and adaptable. During our research we have also found a RPI 3 program called OnBoard Computer System, but it doesn't satisfy us completely. However we want to keep a 20x4 LCD screen with 3 screens with which we can read all the information. We'll adapt it on a RGB LCD screen that will have a red backlight at night. We are trying to write the code, but it is long and difficult. Because we don't know where are register the OpenPlotyter data ? (signal K ?). Would someone have the python database address? Does anyone already have a code for this kind of display?

I don't think so JeroenAdam, the current consumption isn't the same. fragility neighter. And my project is to have both, a lcd touchscreen and a 3-pages matrix lcd. I'm sure you always use the indestructible LCD Casio Scientific RE: GPS data on LCD 20x4 Screen - JeroenAdam - 2018-03-28 Several members here have one/several cheap esp8266 modules operational. It sends data (temperature, voltage, ...) to OpenPlotter without wires (wifi). What seems to be the latest is a small OLED display in combination with such an esp8266, you'll get a cheap, small, low-power, wireless and color display. Google on keywords esp8266 oled. If you're going to invest time in coding, I would go for such a solution. |
