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 just a modified Demo file that does this:

Adapted from “terminal.py” in luma.examples repo

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!

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

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.
