Feature Request: OLED status screen #92

Closed nightflasher closed 11 months ago

nightflasher commented 1 year ago

I wonder, if it is possible to add an i2c OLED screen to show current connected devices, maybe the device hostname too?

Hello @nightflasher .

of course this will be possible, but I'm afraid it will not fit in really well into this project. An extra display will slow down the device a bit (for prcessing output) and will also cost a lot of power. This also contradicts somewhat with the small energy-saving access point that lies invisibly in the corner and amplifies/extends the Wi-Fi. Currently, I am planning to implement a REST API that could possibly fetch the required information; then, it could be implemented through a separate server for your own. BTW: I would stick more to an e-ink-Display than an OLED.

Sincerely, Danny

But an oled display will give it a good feature. Please modify the code with 12c oled :-)

Sorry, I think everything is said. I will close this issue now. You are free to fork this project and implement your requested feature.

Thank you
