8.8 inch screen support

[arthurv]

I've got the 3.5 inch screen running nicely, and a 5 inch screen is on the way.

However, it seems an 8.8 inch screen is also available, any plans for supporting this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005538293555.html

It looks like the perfect screen (in portrait mode) to display a to-do list, for example.

Hi! So there is now an 8.8 inch screen, great news but I'll be ruined if they release new models every 6 months 😄 If the protocol is the same as the 5.5 inch screen (which seems to be the case becasue the configuration software looks the same) then supporting it will be quick and easy. But if they develop a new protocol for the 8.8 inch display, it will require to analyze serial frames like people did for the 5.5 inch so it will take longer. Anyway, I will order one and we'll see! I would be happy if we can add it to the list of supported displays

Glad people are finding this and getting involed. Is there a discord? would be good to have a channel for example talking about themes etc.

Looking to replace my aida64 8.8 screen with a turing one, definitely interested in seeing this screen size supported.

Hi again @mathoudebine - Do you have any plans to add 8.8 support any time soon, or is this still some time off? I would love to use this, the standard software is a challenge

[scottrlarson]

Looking forward to this too. I might have to look into figuring this out I want to turn my 8.8 in screen into a command line program output display for my data recovery jobs.

Just ordered an 8.8 and am interested also. Haven’t seen anyone mention they’ve tested this branch, guess I’ll have a look when mine gets here.

Edit: Tested this out, was unable to select the 8.8 size from the menu, Python threw an error that I wasn't able to track down. The other sizes all seemed to work.

This branch is also many commits behind the main branch, there is likely a number of things under the hood that need updated I'd expect.
