PhatStats PC Performance TFT Display

Arduino TFT PC Performance Monitor with Client software

Similar projects worth following
PhatStats ili9341 TFT PC Performance Monitor Display

PhatStats (TFT) form an Arduino serial display. HardwareSerialMonitor is a PC serial client, both are written by Rupert Hirst and Colin Conway.

HardwareSerialMonitor Windows client reads the hardware statistics from the PC.

This data is forwarded over the hosts’ serial  port to an Arduino compatible micro processor. It is then, displayed using the Phat-Stats sketch.

This project, assumes you have a above average experience with Arduino, the IDE and the compatible boards available.

The HardwareSerialMonitor was designed for dedicated GPU's . Your mileage may vary with Integrated Graphics

To help with construction there are hook up guides, links below:

Phat-Stats ILI9341 TFT Display Hook up Guide

Going Forward:

The project needs to be ported over to LibreHardwareMonitor , a fork of OpenHardwareMonitor  for future support, as this gets a lot more updates for new PC hardware. If anyone can help please get in touch, thanks.

Hi Rupert, thanks for your proyect i'd love it, I'm trying use your gnat-serial-monitor, and detects usage. and temps, but I want send more data like vram, voltage, cpu & gpu freq...so how I can add these parameters?? hope you can help me.

Hi Rupert! I've been looking for a project like yours for a long time. So thanks a lot! But I'm stuck with one meter to go, can you help me out? Everything works great, but the data is missing: no temp, no hardware names, just CPU...blank, GPU...blank, hertz...blank. I've an i7-7700 and a GTX 1080. Hardware Serial Monitor tray v1.1 is up and running. Any suggestions could be very useful to me, thank you!

Rupert Hirst wrote 01/13/2019 at 20:53 point

HI Belean,

Did you run HardwareSerialMonitor as Admin?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Belean wrote 01/13/2019 at 21:35 point

Thaks for your answer Rupert! Yes I did. HardwareSerialMonitor_v1.1. And OpenHardwareMonitor v0.8.0-beta works fine, if this can help. You can confirm that if I did everything right it should work even on an updated PC, right? There should be no external variables that could interfere with the project therefore?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert Hirst wrote 01/13/2019 at 22:50 point

if you ran the app as admin and you have selected the correct com port from the tray it should work. The only other things that may effect it are folder permissions, the arduino Com port driver, Antivirus or a firewall blocking the com port.

hey Rupert, im really new to adruino. im trying to varify the scetch, and i got "splashscreen was not include in this scope" error. How do i fix this? 

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert Hirst wrote 10/20/2018 at 00:03 point

Hi,

Did you alter something in the sketch before you verified it? 

Did you download the libraries?

In arduino IDE 1.85 with correct libraries it should complie just fine.

Just because it complains about "splashscreens" does not mean the problem is with that. It could be something as simple as you deleted or  missed out a semicolon somewhere above, in the code.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi, Thanks for this Project. I am newbie using Arduino, So which one of the libraries do I use ?  I used all of them and when I upload it works but my oled screen doesnt light up. I made sure the pins outs are right.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert Hirst wrote 10/16/2018 at 09:46 point

You have to use all of the libraries mentioned.

You have to uncomment  one of the lines for the perticular OLED display you are using...

//#define OLED_SSD1306
#define OLED_SH1106

or 

#define OLED_SSD1306
//#define OLED_SH1106

If your using a display with a ProMicro on the back as per the pictures 

you will need to uncomment

 //#define enablepowerPins

And uncomment the one below it in the sketch for you perticular screens power requirements.

check you have the correct polarity for the selected OLED screen!!!

Also make sure you i2c address correct in the sketch

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hello, very cool project, I would like to ask the question, is it Possible to add a second physical display with the output of information about the state of RAM and paging file?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert Hirst wrote 10/09/2018 at 18:06 point

Yes it is possible but not with the present library. U8GLIB supports multiple screens, It would mean a extensive rewrite of the code.  I am not sure if open hardware monitor supports displaying the page file. 

  Are you sure? yes | no

valentin-bykov-1990 wrote 10/09/2018 at 18:38 point

it's sad, because I was ready to order two displays ((by the way there is an idea about the front panel for the case, if you make it out of black Plexiglas,the display will Shine through and off will also be nice. and please sorry, i use google translate))

GnatStats Release v1.3

Version 1.3: 

Option to trigger an event at a given CPU or GPU threshold eg: LED indicator at 100% CPU Load. 

Top Config option to disable all pre-selected power/gnd pins on Arduino pins D4 and D5 when not powering OLED from ProMicro 

Top Config option to disable/enable "activitychecker" (Enable blank screen on serial timeout eg: PC powered down, Disable to retain last sampled info eg: PC crash or overclocking diagnostics)

Hello, I started in the Arduino the screen works very well but I wanted to make sure that to change screen (D1 D2 and D3) you have to press a button. I have no resistance, so I want to put the button in INPUT_PULLUP. But I have a lot of difficulty. Can someone help me and send me the file?
