Wemos display question...

#1 Post by mattlward » 24 Jan 2018, 15:27

I have been deploying a few Wemos devices with the tiny Wemos display the last couple of days. I am running v2.0-20180121 to have access to the SHT30 module. The display fonts are tiny 1 liners. How can I increase the font to the Arduino size 2? I had been using this with my MQTT code before and could read the temperature and humidity numbers without getting my nose 6 inches away from the display...

If this can be done, but takes patching or such I will need some fairly detailed instructions as I am completely new to ESPEasy.

Thanks Matt

I do not see a way to edit my original post... I forgot to mention that the code is the dev version with the SHT30 included.

Hi Matt and welcome to the ESPeasy community.

Please let us know which plugin you are using, the "framed" or the non"framed" version

Best regards

Right now unframed... it appears that both are loaded. Do I need to switch? Is there a tutorial that I cannot find to go back to the original OS?

Try to use the framed one and look at the parameter "lines per frame". The fewer the lines, the bigger the fonts (more lines).

Ok, so I tried it. It works, but when I invert the display it gets odd. Normally at boot the screen says EASY ESP and has the wifi logo. The main screens also show Easy ESP above the results when orientation is set to normal. I have attached the photos of the unit when using inverted display... It appears that there is garbage at the bottom of the screen. I think it is the top of words from the normal display.

I cannot see the photos (I see the screenshot, not the photos). Did you deactivate the "normal" plugin ?

I have attached the images differently, maybe they will show up for everyone now?

Those dots at the bottom are "page indicators".
In the v2.0 branch it is always showing the maximum number of pages (12 lines/number lines per page).
In the Mega branch, I changed these into number of pages actually used.
One of these dots is bigger to indicate the current active page.
