P4wnP1_ALOA_LCD_MENU

Introduction

This project is a fork of the P4wnP1_ALOA_OLED_MENU_V2 by BeBoXoS. It has been updated to Python 3 and modified for compatibility with the Waveshare 1.3inch LCD HAT for Raspberry Pi. More information about this LCD HAT is available here.

LCD Specifications:

• Driver: ST7789
• Interface: SPI
• Resolution: 240x240

Installation Instructions

Prerequisites

• BeBoX P4wnP1 ALOHA v0.1.1 image: Download here.

Installation Steps

• Connect to your P4wnP1 ALOHA via usb and ssh into it.
• Login to the P4wnP1 ALOHA via web interface at http://172.16.0.1:8000/ and go to the "WIFI SETTINGS" tab.
• You will need to connect to your WIFI network as "Station (Client)" mode for the installation to work.

Then run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/NightRang3r/P4wnP1_ALOA_LCD_MENU.git
cd P4wnP1_ALOA_LCD_MENU
./install.sh

Compatibility

• The script may be compatible with other Waveshare LCD displays, but adjustments to the gui.py file will likely be necessary.

Configuration Steps

1. Display Driver Modification

   Update the driver in gui.py:

   from luma.lcd.device import st7789  # Change to your display driver

2. **Setting Display Dimensions**

   Configure the display width and height in `gui.py`:

   ```python
   width = 240  # Change to your display width
   height = 240  # Change to your display height
   ```

3. **Pin Configuration**

   Adjust the PIN settings to match your LCD display:

   ```python
   RST = 27
   CS = 8
   DC = 25

   # GPIO definition and LCD configuration
   RST_PIN = 27  # Waveshare settings
   CS_PIN = 8    # Waveshare settings
   DC_PIN = 25   # Waveshare settings
   KEY_UP_PIN = 6     # Stick up
   KEY_DOWN_PIN = 19  # Stick down
   KEY_LEFT_PIN = 5   # Stick left / go back
   KEY_RIGHT_PIN = 26 # Stick right / go in / validate
   KEY_PRESS_PIN = 13 # Stick center button
   KEY1_PIN = 21      # Key 1 / up
   KEY2_PIN = 20      # Key 2 / cancel/go back
   KEY3_PIN = 16      # Key 3 / down
   USER_I2C = 0       # Set to 1 if your OLED is I2C or 0 if using SPI interface
   ```

4. **Adjusting Padding**

   Modify padding values if text is overlapping:

   ```python
   padding = -2
   top = padding
   bottom = height - padding
   line1 = top
   line2 = top + 20
   line3 = top + 40
   line4 = top + 60
   line5 = top + 80
   line6 = top + 100
   line7 = top + 120
   brightness = 255  # Max brightness
   ```

5. **SPI Configuration**

   Update SPI settings and PINs:

   ```python
   serial = spi(device=0, port=0, gpio_DC=25, gpio_RST=27)
   ```

6. **Splash Image Size Adjustment**

   Configure the display size for the splash image. You may need to resize the image in the image folder to match your display size:

   ```python
   device.width = 240
   device.height = 240
   c = (240 - 220) / 2
   f = (240 - 350) / 2
   ```
