Gnat-Stats, Tiny OLED PC Performance Monitor.

After a recent purchase of a Nvidia GTX1080 graphics card, 4k monitor, plus Doom(2016), I thought it would be great to see some external telemetry..

I then Stumbled upon Psyrax's Hackaday.IO project.

Armed with an Arduino ProMicro and a 128x64 pixel OLED display, I compiled the source code.

The GnatStats Hardware Serial Monitor Visual Studio application is based around Psyrax's "SerialSender" Application , yet heavily modified by Colin Conway.

(Auto Reconnect, CPU/GPU Hardware Name ID's, Frequencies, Serial activity display timeout)

    Gnatstats Tiny OLED PC performance monitor

    by Rupert Hirst and Colin Conway

    The HardwareSerialMonitor application uses the open source OpenHardwareMonitorLib.dll to sniff the sensors of most modern PC graphics, CPU and motherboards whilst, also pooling windows hardware stats.


    Part of Psyrax's original arduino sketch, is a "anti screen burn" feature. This feature, inverts the screen background (black - white), after a preset time, to give even wear to the OLED display. This feature has been extended to totally turn off the OLED screen when no serial data is available, such as PC power down.

    I wanted to keep the overall footprint as small as possible. The i2C pins on the ProMicro reside on D2(SDA) and D3(SCL). The displays i2c pins lined up but, obviously the power pins would be a problem.

    After measuring a current of 18.6mA on a fully lit OLED display, I decided to pull pin D5 High(5v) and D4 Low(to ground) on the ProMicro to providing the necessary VCC / GND for the display.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OLED Pins: VCC GND SCL SDA

    ProMicro Pins: D5(HIGH) D4(LOW) D3 D2

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    18mA is within the Atmel 32u4 maximum pin current limit of 20mA. This allowed the display to be simply soldered straight to the header of the ProMicro.

    The HardwareSerialMonitor application is based of Psyrax's original source code and heavily modified by Colin Conway to include additional hardware stats.

Hi Rupert,
whats the pw for the ryzen zip file? I do have a ryzen and i am not able to get my temps displayed on my oled thingy.

Regards!

The project is excellent, but I have a problem, I have a screen nextion 2.4 '' 320x240, will it be possible to implement it without changing the code?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Can you add support for temperatures on Intel Coffee Lake? (i7-8700k w/ asus strix z370-e) Would be nice

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert Hirst wrote 02/05/2018 at 16:45 • point

Some one needs to add the support on the Open Hardaware Monitor github then I can compile it

  Are you sure? yes | no

Please could you add support for temperatures on AMD Ryzen (particularly the r5 1600 on the asus prime b350-plus)?

 I've tried compiling https://github.com/openhardwaremonitor/openhardwaremonitor/pull/970 and https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor, both of which have ryzen support and looking through the source code but I can't spot a problem and neither works.

  Are you sure? yes | no

i managed to compile Kraust's Fork here  0.8.1.0

https://github.com/Kraust/openhardwaremonitor

Added Ryzen Temperature Support (Off the Chip, not the Motherboard)

If you want to test the compiled DLL for Ryzen send me a PM with your email address

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert, that's a crapton of info you packed into 64 pixel tall display! Fantastic!
PS: Thanks for following my Giant RGB LED Cube project!

  Are you sure? yes | no
