Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye has recently been released and as a result, my previous tutorial on setting up an OLED stats display for your Raspberry Pi no longer works. So I've revised the tutorial to get the libraries installed and the script running on the latest version of the operating system.

This is a great write up! Everything seems to be working as described except for two issues. The display stays on after shutdown (I understand that gpio 3v3 power stays active and can be put into low power mode through bootloader config), and the display’s top line appears to be having a font issue (could be a faulty display, also mine has yellow for the first row) Otherwise it works as described, works on reboot and after a power cycle and displays the correct info. Thank you so much!

Michael. Thanks so much for this project. I had no issues getting it running. You then kicked off another rabbit hole for me to fall into! I wanted to show cumulative TX/RX data over eth0 and have managed to get this going and onto a 5th line on the screen.

Hi Michael, GOOD NEWS!!!! Problem fixed. Now Raspberry Pi reboots correctly and starts the Cron job as it should be. All I did was: 1. Reinstalled Pi-OS Bullseye. 2. Reset Cron (I think it was hanging due to improper installation). 3. Reinstalled all of the software again as instructed in the Video. 4. Setup the Cron-job as in the Video and "Boom" it works! Thanks for all your work. Next project is the Pi NAS with a large SSD.

You would think the PI Org would let people know about these issues before saying just update t o the next OS. I've rarely had issues with Windows. Thanks for your work. Truly appreciated cause I had an OLED display from your previous video.

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

The problem is that they don't really know what their update is going to "break" on everyone else's software. A lot of these types of projects rely on libraries by a number of parties and each has the potential to fail when an update is made. But yes I'd always suggest waiting a while before updating so that all of these bugs and issues are worked out.

@uncleedmcnerd6890 2 года назад

Forgive me. I must be a lot older than you are, at least in nerd years. I've had multiple episodes of one Windows revision killing something I wanted to use. This included a $200 flatbed scanner that wasn't three years old. Sorry, but we're Microsoft and we can do what we ***** please. Loud screaming on the Internet sites. I suppose I could have gone back one full version of Windows, with all the patches and revisions, but that would kill the Anti-Virus for which I paid the current price and other software that wanted the current version.

@guser7137 2 года назад

@@uncleedmcnerd6890 typically they are doing things to fix the leaky security, and the issue lies with the device manufacturer having developed poor drivers. I've had same issue before with a quite pricey USB audio interface. You'd think when you buy a device that there is some commitment from the manufacturer to keep it working for some years. Since Windows 7 this has been a lot less of a problem.

@UltimateJuji 6 месяцев назад

Really great, thank you for this! Tried it in Jan 2024 with a Pi Zero W and a 128x32 I2C OLED display.

Instead of running it through crontab (which is more often used as a "task planner", if the name is correct, to periodically run scripts, like backups,...), Why not set it up as a service/daemon? Is there anything preventing it that way? I pretty much forgot how it kinda worked, the only time i did this kind of thing was while setting up my octoprint from scratch.

@chrislikeslotsothing 2 года назад

This was a very easy tutorial to follow, thanks! I've added a second OLED screen to my PI, and have set up software i2c, and can see my second device using i2cdetect -y 4. I wanted to mod this script to test the new screen. How do I go about modding this script to open on i2c_bus 4 rather than 1?

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

I'd suggest looking at the Adafruit CircuitPython library for information on using a different i2c_bus. Their previous code allowed it to be changed within the script but now it looks like it is set in the library.

@retrodesign3d136 2 года назад

Michael, is there a way to connect this LCD and use your tutorial if I am already using Pin 5 (SCL) for my safe shutdown and startup button ? thank you.

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

Unfortunately this is a design limitation that is difficult to work around. You have to use pins 3 and 5 for I2C communication and only pin 5 works for the wake function. The only "easy" way to get this to work is to use your existing button only for startup and then connect the display to the same pins. You'll then need to modify your shutdown script to work on a separate pin and add a second button. There are some other methods people have tried (using diodes etc.) but they're probably a bit more complicated than what you're looking for.

Is it possible to have a stats display for a kodi (LibreELEC) media center pi or would it require a lot more / different steps then yours (i would connect via putty, to set everything up)?

You should be able to get it running, but it would be a completely different process as the libraries and dependencies are generally different on different operating systems/distributions.

Thank you for this nice tutorial, Michael. Everything is working fine but I notice the CPU usage is 10% less than the percentage reported in my PI task manager. Do you know why? Should I just change the way the info is formated in the stats.py script? Thank you for your advices

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

Hi Samuel, I've never really looked into or compared this to the task manager's reported figure. Does it remain the same even while at idle? I wonder if this is some sort of delay in reporting or if there is another reason for the difference.

@007craft 2 года назад

It is not specified which version of Raspberry Pi OS this will work with? Lite, Desktop, or Desktop with recommended Software? I tried this on dietpi but ran into an error when it was trying to install something called Blinka

It works with both versions of Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye (Full and Lite). Dietpi is not a version of Raspberry Pi OS, so is probably missing some elements of software required to run it.

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

It's usually just libraries/dependencies which are either removed or become incompatible with newer software. You probably could still salvage the older method and get it to work, but since Adafruit have also depreciated their old OLED display library it made more sense to just move over to their newer libraries.

In my last comment I mentioned I have two I2C buses set up on my Pi...the original one running a power button and a new one running your screen...? In the old script I could specify the bus number I wanted to use on line 57: # Alternatively you can specify an explicit I2C bus number, for example # with the 128x32 display you would use: disp = Adafruit_SSD1306.SSD1306_128_64(rst=RST, i2c_bus=4) ...but I see no similar line in your new script? :)

Yes it's different as the libraries required are a bit different. You can set the address on line 25 of the new script - oled = adafruit_ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(WIDTH, HEIGHT, i2c, addr=0x3C, reset=oled_reset)

If you can get basic text to show up then it's pretty easy to just copy the relevant parts of this script across to the new display's script. There isn't really a generic tutorial, each display is going to be different.

Hola Michael, excelente vídeo, como siempre a la altura, tengo exactamente esta configuración en una Raspberry pi 4B de 8 g con debían 10 y funciona perfectamente, ahora he comprado una Rsspberry pi 5 de 8 g y quiero hacer lo mismo, tienes un código y repositorios para instalarlo en debían 12 bookworm ???

@MichaelKlements 4 месяца назад

Unfortunately this script doesn't work on Bookworm yet as the libraries and dependencies aren't compatible with it. When they are eventually updated then I'll modify the script to run on it.

@ricardotorres7779 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much for your attention, I hope that when you have the scripts, you can let me know, it is very important for me and my new project, in any case, I follow your channel very closely, thank you again.@@MichaelKlements

any update needed for the ups backup display?

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

I'll hopefully manage to try this out this weekend, I'm not sure if the UPS libraries run on OS Bullseye.

Why do i have LA instead of % behind CPU% ??

@MichaelKlements 9 месяцев назад

Linux reports CPU utilisation as Load Average (LA) not in terms of a percentage.

Hello, I am having a bit of a problem. For some reason I cannot get the screen to keep running. I get through everything and oled screen displaying the stats but like in your website, as I close the terminal, the screen stays frozen. I did input the line in crontab already but once I reboot the screen is still frozen with previous data. Only way to keep it working is only leaving the terminal open and manually running the script. I have gone through the steps at least twice without skipping a step and to no avail.

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

If you run the script in the terminal and then close the terminal it automatically terminates the script that was running, that's why it freezes. Adding an & to the end of the terminal command tells it to continue running in the background. If its not updating when you reboot then there's a probably with your crontab entry. Its either not finding the script or its not running it correctly.

@Fimbulwinter04 2 года назад

@@MichaelKlements thanks! I will try that. The crontab, I tried both methods of of saving the line of code even made sure of was doing the & with.a space.

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

Try moving the script into the home directory - that is usually also less complicated to get working.

@Fimbulwinter04 2 года назад

@@MichaelKlements hello, I did move the file over to the home directory, and still no luck. I tried redoing the process all over again and still no avail. I have tried moving it to other locations and I just can't get it to work, I have tried your step by step guide slowly and surely, but it just doesn't work for me. It still runs fine when I execute it manually, and I have tried "crontab -e" and "sudo crontab -e". I may have to delete the whole sd card and start from scratch, see if it helps. (There was one time where windows wouldn't update/fix drivers at all, a fresh reinstall of windows actually helped.) If not, I may give up on trying to get this screen to work.

@MichaelKlements 2 года назад

Can you paste the exact line you're entering into crontab here and I'll have a look at it?
