I would like avoid to use Nextion display.

Post by EB2BRA »

Hi everybody,

As the title say, I would like to avoid use Nextion display. How?
Pi-star is running under Linux system , and it's very easy to use Qt embedded to create a wonderful screen with all information that Pi.star provide us.

But there is point that it isn't clear to me.
is there any way to obtaint all information about the status, remote ID, etc etc ?
If this file exists, I can open it and split all the information to show only what I am interested in.

The other point, embedded Qt, it's not a problem.
I just need the cross compiler and compile qt embedded, copy all necessary file and voula !!!!

Maybe it is not well seen what I want to ask for and it is mandatory to use Nextion screens, but I have been taught to always ask when I have a question.

Best regards.

Hi M1DNS,

Thank you very much for your reply.
Ok, understood!!!
I will try using the the log file locate in /var/log/pi-star/ folder.
This file has interesting information that I can use to show in my Qt screen.

So, my first job is to compile qt embedded.

Best regards.
