Hi folks, Came across a wall mount touch screen for a Raspberry PI zero: [image] Which is sold here for 45 EUR. Note that the Raspberry Zero seems not to be included! But since it is a Raspberry PI Zero, you can run Node-RED and a Node-RED dashboard on this device. Thought this might be inter…

No I don't, it's a headless setup. It runs the latest version of Pi OS Lite (no desktop) with MQTT and Node-RED (with Dashboard) installed. Here is a screenshot of it's resources: [123] I found this: Raspberry Pi 2/3: Chromium in Kiosk mode a while ago and wanted to see if the Zero can handle it,…

Thats why i read the temperature before connecting to the wifi. Its the first thing i do in the sketch before starting the wifi after a deepsleep.

It has been a while since I looked at them, but IIRC the idea is to off-load display generation and human-machine interface to a co-processor in the display, with just a relatively low-bandwidth serial connec…

[image] drmibell: Does anyone have experience with the Nextion displays? I bought the Nextion NX4832K035 a few years ago and connected it via serial to a Wemos D1 Mini. It's fun to program the display (they have an editor for that, where you can design the UI and stuff). Some buttons on my …

Thanks, I'll look into it, could be just the ticket.
