allatutti Posted April 5 Author Posted April 5 OLED stats working also in debian, you need to activate I2C5 M3 overlay in orangepi-config 0 Quote
allatutti Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 For older Kernel Linux orangepi5 5.10.160-rockchip-rk3588 you will need to install python3-psutil sudo apt install python3-psutil 0 Quote
habro Posted May 19 Posted May 19 (edited) "OLED stats working also in debian, you need to activate I2C5 M3 overlay in orangepi-config" By doing above, do you still need to execute point #1 (add overlay) from original instructions? Edited May 19 by habro 0 Quote
allatutti Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 (edited) nope with original orangepi debian image you dint need to do point 1. Only go to orangepi-config and enable I2C5 M3 there. Edited May 20 by allatutti 0 Quote
SHIH skshih Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Thank you for your detailed instructions! It works for me on my Orange Pi 3 LTS! (but I have to update my port to port=0) in both device.py and stats.py has anyone ever tried it with crontab too? my crontab code is: @reboot cd /home/[user]/ && /usr/bin/python3 /home/[user]/stats.py & When i run the script in crontab, it looks like that it couldn't the font file PixelOperator.ttf if it is run from crontab; my ssd1306 screen lights up, but it only shows gibberish. I even copied PixelOperator.ttf to /usr/share/fonts and /usr/local/share/fonts (and of course there is one in /home/[user]) but it still does not work... 0 Quote
SHIH skshih Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I have just managed to get my error log Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/sqms/stats.py", line 97, in <module> main() File "/home/sqms/stats.py", line 89, in main stats(oled) File "/home/sqms/stats.py", line 79, in stats draw.text((0, 0), hostname(), font=font2, fill=255) ^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/sqms/stats.py", line 36, in hostname ip_address = output.split()[0] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^ IndexError: list index out of range 0 Quote
SHIH skshih Posted June 21 Posted June 21 After reading a few more and getting to understand what the errors were I've realised what was the reason. from the error log of my post earlier, it seems that the problem comes from the line for getting my ip, but the code seems fine. So it gave me to feeling that my error was caused as crontab code runs before an ip was captured by the system after reboot so instead of my above crontab code, my new code is: Quote @reboot sleep 15 %% /user/bin/python3 /home/sqms/stats.py & >> /home/sqms/error.txt 2>&1 and it works with no issues. 0 Quote
