I've setup this screen to report on:
- CPU Usage bar - top left
- Ram usage bar - top right
- WAN download - bottom left
- WAN upload - bottom right
- Then down the middle
- Hostname
- IP Address
- Application with most CPU usage (inc %)
- Disk space % used
- Amount of data downloaded/uploaded since reboot
This is just an example for you to use this is not provided as a finished product.
Here are my related 3D models as pictured below: https://makerworld.com/@n3rding/collections/5667731-10-inch-40mm-fan-bay
Instructions to setup Pi: This should be the same as the official Waveshare instructions, if in doubt or issues follow their instructions, my code uses the lib folder above the example folder so my scripts should be copied in to the example folder or references updated.
The script above should be copied to the example folder or paths updated, the image I have used on the screen is in the default home directory found at /home/pi/ but feel free to change the path.
