Any ideas ?

I threw together a small enclosure that can be used to house the 3.5" TFT screens and posted it to the Printables website in case anyone else wants to print one. I kept it the same style as my MiSTer case so that it would match. It's a two piece box that snaps together, but ideally would be secured by two screws from the bottom going into threaded inserts in the top piece. There is a space in the back for a fan. The WeMOS board has 5V and GND pins that you can solder the fan leads to. I've designed it for a 5V Noctua fan that is very quiet and has low power draw, but you could probably use others. Eventually I will probably incorporate the TFT screen into my case to replace the OLED one, but for now I think the two look pretty good together.

Yes I had missed the soldering of the wires. It works alot better when you follow the instructions. I have my test screen displayed

Thanks

It has been super clean and very very beautiful, thanks for thinking about 3.5 screens and for sharing it. Do you have the background image of the menu at hand? I think you hung it up but I still missed picking it up

a greeting

With regard,

I turned mine off as I found it buggy atm, if it showed the core image and moved position I’d leave it, but I’d get mostly black screen and only sometimes the core image or mister image. Is this normal behaviour and perhaps my settings could be optimised?

Looks like that the clock's pictures are missing. Screesaver should work as clock -> core image -> mister logo (in random order). That would explain the black screen (=something is missing). Take clock's images from here.
I also see that my gdrive folder is messed up and need to revamped.

marcopolo316 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 2:32 pm Cheers thank you! I rarely have my mister connected to Ethernet for the clock and have no RTC. Any way to forgo the clock as part of the screensaver sequence?

michelefornasini wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 9:03 am I ask a question perhaps as an inexperienced person. I have correctly configured the display and you are spinning as it should, in the wifi.txt file I have entered the access data to my wireless network. In order to access the display via filezila (to be able to manage folders and files without removing the SD card), which parameters should I use?

so far so good. any chance of going full screen on the clock and core image? this is as big as im able to get it with your current padding.

For the next update in the next days, I'll set the background pictures to fullsize if SCREENSAVER_MOVE is set to "no" which makes more sense. No plans for the clock. This can be edited/changed by user when code will be open. Templates attached.

I assume that "yes!" means something like "Well done, fulfills my wish for a configurable fullsize clock and I'm happy with it!" ?

Did you? Your last PM is dated 07/14 and you have downloaded the update for both of your devices afterwards. No new PM from you since then...
