Record time or free space indication on LCD screen
I’d be interested in a mod that indicates record status on the LCD screen, either: -A simple circle or square icon -a runtime variable from the record screen -the free space variable from the record screen, if shown with enough decimal points you could see it ticking down I am fairly savvy with python and shell scripting, a little PHP, but I was going to ask where you would recommend starting, or what script controls the screen output? Thanks for all your work on this!
On early firmware versions the OLED display was driven by a separate application that actually allowed editing the contents of the screen, but recent versions have the display features built into the main encoder app and the support for editing the contents was dropped.
Technically the screen is using i2c and is a common one, so there should be no problem in writing your own software, however I would expect you'll get quite a lot of flickering because the contents will going to be overwritten by the main application.
There is hope. The new documentation webpage includes source code links. And that includes the OLED app: https://www.yuque.com/linkpi/encoder/wigc0c3dt1qmtgfp
