I built one of these last month using a Pimoroni HyperPixel. Fantastic utility and so easy to set up. Only wish that it would be able to support system monitoring in Linux.

Awesome -- been meaning to build something like this with one of my old PIs. I was a little confused about the software to use, thanks for filling in the gaps.

[prince]

Thanx for this, I was looking for an opensource alternative for this.

Nice setup and a great Pi project
For Gamers this is a improvement over having screen overlays. It much easier to setup and run.

[deanlawson]

Very Cool little build Don! Thanks for this!

Dude you are something else man. It's like you're in my mind man. When I think it here you are doing a video on it. Boom!

[itsniru]

Its a bad ass application, keep it up!

[dechrysen]

Nice Build, but I would recommend a pci slot vertical mount so you don’t choke your 3080 against the tempered glass panel.

[MegaManNeo]

I still have all my previous Pis doing mostly nothing.
Might actually give this a try as I too have a 3.5" HAT display and I'd love to see how warm my PC gets especially with both GPUs (a RX580 for Linux and a RX5700 for Windows) running at the same time.

[nestvz]

Great video! Is that screen compatible with RPI zero w too?

[christziaverix]

You have to upside down the cpu cooler unit to avoid pump sucks air from the top of it. Coolers use to be fullfill at about 90%.

What screen capture software do you use? Both on the PC and phone? It looks to work well. Thx

[spoolin]

Awesome tutorial! I made mine following your steps. My gauges doesnt go to the left and right edges of the screen like yours does. Any way to adjust the the screen to make them fill the entire screen?

[Ryan.Lohman]

Found Modbros limited with what you can customize on it (what you can monitor). So I set a script to auto open midori to Aida64 via the remotesensor via ip address. The problem I'm having is getting midori to run in full screen, chromium is too cpu intensive on the raspberry pi 0w. Still great video.

[Rigoberto]

Im looking more for the actual physical connections with the pie/mb/gpu is there a video on that?

[yelowpunk]

Cool little project. Is there something similar available for a linux computer? Not just htop but something customizable, that's a touch lighter than Grafana? I'd love to see a video on this as well. Thanks!

[kevincampos]

dope bro gonna do this, question, why not get the screen with enclosure vs no enclosure? also, double checking, is this wirelessly displayed? where is it pug into inside to give it power? sorry i sound noobish but wanna get the facts rite so i can do this, awesome video

[teothodo]

Hello and thank for for the tutorial!
I just want to know if I can connect the screen with the pi 4 model b?

[davocc]

Absolutely LOVE this - was trying to find this solution for quite some years as I kinda got used to live display metrics when I had a Logitech G15 keyboard years ago.
My questions would be - can it run on a Pi Zero realistically and secondly could you run the USB OTG port to both power and network the device (I've done that with a zero) to forgo the need for a tertiary network?
This would simplify the config somewhat also while slightly improving security and containment as it would be within an internal mapping. Potentially running off an internal USB port with a converter cable? I see unused internal ports quite a bit on some boards.

Would b nice to use the USB data as well so it doesn't have to go through the network. Though I do have some ideas to make that possible. Still uses network though, like usb to ethernet adapters.
