This project is an open-source alternative software, not the USBMonitor.exe original software for the Turing smart screen. There will be no support for the USBMonitor.exe software.
A Python system monitor program and a library for "Turing Smart Screen" 3.5" IPS USB-C (UART) display, also known as :
- Turing USB35INCHIPS / USB35INCHIPSV2 (revision A)
- XuanFang display (revision B & flagship)
- 3.5 Inch 320*480 Mini Capacitive Touch Screen IPS Module
Display hardware revisions supported: A, B & flagship.
Flagship backplate RGB LEDs are also supported!
If you haven't received your screen yet but want to start developing your theme now, you can use the "simulated LCD" mode!
Operating systems supported : macOS, Windows, Linux (incl. Raspberry Pi) and all OS that support Python 3.x
There are 2 possible uses of this project Python code:
- as a System Monitor, a standalone program working with themes to display your computer HW info.
- integrated in your project, to control the display from your own Python code.
This project is mainly a complete standalone program to use your screen as a system monitor, like the original vendor app.
Some themes are already included for a quick start!
- Fully functional multi-OS code base (operates out of the box, tested on Windows, Linux & MacOS).
- Display configuration using
config.yamlfile: no Python code to edit. - Support for all 3 screen HW revisions: A, B & flagship. Flagship backplate RGB LEDs are also supported!
- Support multiple hardware sensors and metrics (CPU/GPU usage, temperatures, memory, disks, etc) with configurable refresh intervals.
- Allow creation of themes (see
res/themes) withtheme.yamlfiles to be shared with the community! - Easy to expand: additional code that pulls specific information can be written in a modular way without impacting existing code.
- Auto detect comm port. No longer need to hard set it, or if it changes on you then the config is wrong.
Screenshots from the latest version using included themes:
If you don't want to use your screen for system monitoring, you can just use this project as a module to do some simple operations on the display from any Python code :
- Display custom picture
- Display text
- Display progress bar
- Screen rotation
- Clear the screen (blank)
- Turn the screen on/off
- Display soft reset
- Set brightness
- Set backplate RGB LEDs color (on supported hardware rev.)
