How to assemble it

  • Please follow the steps to install, beware of the installation details, please take care of the UPS Plus when the batteries has been inserted into the slot.
 NOTE: prevent the wrong polarity when insert the batteries, and prevent short the circuit during install Raspberry Pi. Otherwise, the wrong installation method may cause damage to the equipment. It is your own risks.

How to enable OLED Display

  • We assume you are using Raspberry Pi OS,(32bit/64bit).

1. Turn on `i2c function` by using `sudo raspi-config` -> `interface options` -> `i2c` -> `enable` -> `yes`. 2. Check if the screen has been recognized by Raspberry Pi

i2cdetect -y 1 

if encount `command not found` error, please install `i2c-tools` by using `sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install i2c-tools`.
3. Install dependencies libraries:

sudo apt -y install python3 python3-pip python3-pil libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5

4. Grant privilleges to user `pi`

sudo usermod -a -G gpio,i2c pi

5. Download sample code from this repo:

git clone https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples.git
cd luma.examples/

6. Install the dependencies

sudo -H pip3 install -e .

7. Entering into example folder and test it.

cd examples/
python3 clock.py

8. At this time, the OLED screen is displaying a clock.

If there is black screen or have nothing display on the screen, please check whether the cable is connected properly, and then check if you have enable the I2C function, and you can just typing : i2cdetect -y 1 in a terminal and check if there is an address like "3C" on screen. if not, please reconnect the cable and reboot raspberry pi. If you can not download the repository from github, please check the internet connection and please make sure you can access to github.com. If you have issue with using the OLED display, please contact us first.

How to enable fan light and mood light

Connection Details

Circuit wiring0128.jpg


NOTE: The RGB lights in the fan are connected to the ambient lights on the screen driver board. Turn on any one of the lights is equivalent to turn on the entire light group.
  • 1. The lights are connected to GPIO18 which can found by typing: pinout in a terminal.

  • 2. Make sure your Raspberry Pi can access internet.
  • 3. Download demo code projects sources from github.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x
  • 4. Build:

Build with SCons

  • Install Scons (on raspbian)
 sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install scons 
  • Make sure to adjust the parameters in main.cto suit your hardware.
  • Signal rate (400kHz to 800kHz). Default 800kHz.
  • ledstring.invert=1 if using a inverting level shifter.
  • Width and height of LED matrix (height=1 for LED string).
  • Type scons from inside the source directory.
cd rpi_ws281x/
sudo scons

Build and install with CMake

  • Install CMake
  • Configure your build:

For example:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D BUILD_SHARED=OFF -D BUILD_TEST=ON ..

See also for available options in CMakeLists.txt.

Type

cmake --build .

to build

  • To install built binaries and headers into your system type:
sudo make install
  • Running:

Type

sudo ./test 

(default uses PWM channel 0).

That's it. You should see a moving rainbow scroll across the display.

More options are available,

./test -h 

should show them:

./test version 1.1.0
Usage: ./test
-h (--help)    - this information
-s (--strip)   - strip type - rgb, grb, gbr, rgbw
-x (--width)   - matrix width (default 8)
-y (--height)  - matrix height (default 8)
-d (--dma)     - dma channel to use (default 10)
-g (--gpio)    - GPIO to use
                 If omitted, default is 18 (PWM0)
-i (--invert)  - invert pin output (pulse LOW)
-c (--clear)   - clear matrix on exit.
-v (--version) - version information

How to Install All Drivers Automatically

cd 
git clone https://github.com/geeekpi/absminitowerkit.git 
cd absminitowerkit/
sudo ./install.sh 

How to change display information

 If you want to change the display information, please follow the steps below.
  • Open a terminal and navigate to /lib/systemd/system/ folder.
  • Edit 'minitower_oled.service' file and adding your script.
Changesystemdservice2.png


And the demo codes are located at: /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/, or you can put your own code in the same location and change the parameter of ExecStart variable and restart the service.

Changesystemdservice3.png


For example, Default ExecStart's parameters is called /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/animated_gif.py file, we can just comment it out with # (hash tag) and remove the hast tag before ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'python3 /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/sysinfo.py &' and save it and quit.

Changesystemdservice4.png


you can also replace the file name with the file names in folder: /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/

  • Reload systemd service and minitower_oled.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart minitower_oled.service
  • You will find the content of OLED display has been changed.

  • More demo code please access your local folder in: /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/ folder, there are plenty funny code inside the folder.

FAQ

  • Why does my fan lights up when I was booting up my Raspberry Pi?
  1. Please check if the cable is connected properly as wiki instructions assembling steps.
  2. please check if you have installed the driver and make it running at booting time?
  3. Could you please try to setup your lights by following this repo: https://github.com/geeekpi/absminitowerkit
  • How to check if the OLED display is dead or not configured well?

  4. Please download demo examples code from :https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples.git and set it up according to wiki instructions.
  • How can I stop the light stream, just make it stay on one status?
  1. open a terminal.
  2. typing: sudo systemctl stop minitower_moodlight.service
  • Why does my mood light stack on one color and does not spinning like a rainbow?
  1. please try to open a terminal.
  2. Typing: sudo systemctl restart minitower_moodlight.service
