WLAN Pi Front Panel Menu System (FPMS)

This project enables the SPI display of WLAN Pi based on the CM4 hardware.

The original "fpms" repo is only compatible with NEO2 hardware and its NanoHat OLED I2C display.

Components and Troubleshooting

Packages

We are using dh-virtualenv to package the wlanpi-fpms Python project into an installable Debian package (.deb). The Debian software packages for wlanpi-fpms are hosted on Packagecloud and installed automatically on the WLAN Pi OS images.

Systemd Service

FPMS is now run as a Systemd Service on the WLAN Pi. Systemd is a widely used system manager across Linux distributions.

There is a single primary service for wlanpi-fpms:

• wlanpi-fpms service which displays information on the SPI display.

You can use systemctl to view the status of it:

systemctl status wlanpi-fpms

Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting, use systemctl or journalctl to check status or log for the service:

systemctl status wlanpi-fpms
journalctl -u wlanpi-fpms

Developers

Looking to get your hands dirty?

To install and run wlanpi-fpms for development and manual testing refer to the DEVELOPMENT.md documentation.

System requirements

The SPI interface must be enabled for FPMS to work and communicate with the display.

Option 1

Use raspi-config to enable SPI:

sudo raspi-config

Option 2

1. Edit boot config: sudo vim /boot/config.txt
2. Enable SPI interface by adding this line: dtparam=spi=on
