[RPi5] Argon ONE V5 Case

    It's not currently on the ToDo list as the V5 has nothing in common with the previous ONE enclosures other than the name and the manufacturer. In addition, I don't have an OLED device to test the function, and I would need capable testers with the ONE V5 case to get useful feedback in a timely manner during the development/debugging phase.

    As far as I can see in Argon40's implementation with their scripts, the OLED requires additional Python modules like Luma.OLED and some binaries provided by Argon40. The latter without licence information. This hinders an integration, not only the additional abundant effort.

    What expectations would you have regarding OLED support? Only the few cyclically repeated system information as with the argon1v5.sh script?

    No expectations really.
    Just playing with the case and had bought the oled without really considering if was supported.

    Love the forum btw.

    As a super noob I was able to get everything else running and got all my questions answered by reading forum posts.

    Thanks for the detailed response.

    Very much appreciated!

    Have a look at the OLEDproc add-on:

    OLEDproc add-on

    I just finished one little project. The work took me several weeks, but I believe it was worth it.

    There are many OLED graphic displays on the market that are cheaper and look better than traditional (character) LCD displays.

    I was sorry that so far these displays could not be used as a display for the Kodi multimedia center.

    That is why I set myself the task of remedying this shortcoming. I am presenting the result of my work to you today.

    The core of the solution is a new add-on called OLEDproc.…

    So the first thing is activating the I2C interface. I think OLEDproc is adaptable for Argon ONE V5, but no noob solution.
