Using RPi4 with Raspbian Bulllseye lite 64bit. Is this just because i use version without? I connect to terminal via ssh from windows 10 ultimate x64

Where can be the problem?

Thank you very much

Thanks a million for this code! Just got it up & running.

Quick question, what is the purpose of the "LA" string is this line?

Start issue when used as a Service

Hi,

I have a problem with stat.py script while I would like to use in /lib/systemd/system/ as a .service.

When I used just a "python3 stats.py &" there is no problem.

how can i solve this proglem. I would like to run this script as a service while my pi opened.

Include the disclaimer about ssd1306 driver into readme.

If you are trying to use this and your display shows junk instead of actual text - you got lucky and bought the display that supports the sh1106 driver instead of more common ssd1306. This script ONLY works for ssd1306 displays. Pay close attention when choosing your display, but in case you already bought the incompatible display, follow this guide instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdOKXUDw2NY

Took am an entire evening to figure out.

Script won't load on reboot

I tried having the file simply in /home/pj but it didn't won't even I tried to run after reboot manually. Now I have it in oled dir with other files like PixelOperator.ttf and the script will start if triggered manually. But after reboot it always throws the attached log

Crontab
@reboot python3 /home/pj/oled/stats.py >> /home/pj/oled/cron.log 2>&1

Error cat log:

Installation on bookworm requires a virtual environment and is not working

Hello,

I tried to follow your tutorial on a Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspbian bookworm.
I found out that a virtual environment is required for pip3 installations. I created a venv "project" folder.
This is what I got:

`Successfully installed setuptools-69.0.3

It seems I’m caught in a loop because Adafruit Python Shell is not installed (properly).
Btw I’m wondering why I shall use sudo in the virtual environment. Normally this shouldn’t be used here as far as I know.

As you can see adafruit-python-shell is installed but adafruit_shell is not found (see above).

Missing install steps in README

I had to do the following steps (which are not mentionned in the README) to make the scripts work :

sudo apt-get install python3-rpi.gpio libopenjp2-7 libtiff5
sudo pip3 install Pillow

After that, they work perfectly.

Thanks a lot..!! 🙂
