VRM Monitoring with RasPi Zero2W & touch display
Well, I made the mistake of buying equipment before actually figuring out how it all could work....
I have a CerboGX mk2 running my island garden house setup, and wanted to have a wall-mounted display bc of reasons. Wifi and 4G connectivity are 24x7. The cable run from Cerbo to display is around 10m so prohibitive for HDMI and USB.
I have the Zero2W and a really nice integrated display from Waveshare where the Zero2W docks onto the display controller without any cables - and like that plan. Except...
I realised that the UIv2 is a monster in terms of code, and I have spend probably two weeks trying to coax my poor little Zero2W to load the page without crashing. Various stripped down distros, FullPageOS etc all fail. I've given up on this approach unless someone can point me to exactly how I squish that code into 512MB. I am looking for new ideas where I can setup a remote display without buying more stuff.
- Has anyone gotten the above plan (Zero2W, small distro, Chromium or similar) to work?
- Can I flash the RasPi with VenusOS and master/slave them over WiFi? I would then live with the tiley coloured v1 UI until I can't handle it anymore.
- Can I VNC into the Cerbo GX and have it run UIv2 over that connection?
All help is appreciated!
