p4wnp1-oled-terminal

Runs a command in P4wnP1 and displays the output on OLED screen (SH1106)

Works on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Tested successfully on RPi 0 2 running Raspberry Pi OS (Dec 12 '21)

This is a Demo

This is just a modified Demo file that does this:

• Runs blueranger.sh
• Pipes the output to a txt file
• Continuously displays the text file contents on the OLED screen

Adapted from "terminal.py" in luma.examples repo

How It Works

Terminal.py is an example file in luma.examples.

I re-coded the file to:

• Launch a subprocess that starts BlueRanger.sh shell script and pipes the output to a text file (deleteme.txt)
• Read and display text lines from a (deleteme.txt) text file instead of from an arbitrary loop

And it works!

Usage

Here’s the command to get it running on Raspberry Pi Zero 2: python3 terminal.py -i spi --display sh1106 --rotate 2

Bigger Plan

The bigger idea is to integrate this into BeBoXGui as its own menu item. I'm thinking "Run a Command" could be a good menu option Title for this.

• After the user selects this menu option, the OLED screen gets text input using my text input script.
• Then this script (terminal.py) runs the command and displays the output.
