Pekaway touch display

Touchpad for your mobile home

The Pekaway touch display 7" is used to query the parameters of the VAN PI control. The touch display can be used to conveniently call up the data from the system, e.g. the various fill levels of the tanks and the battery status, but various switches/lamps can also be easily switched on and off. Your own parameters can also be shown on the display via Node-Red (backend). The display can be seen as a standalone device. In order to reduce the power consumption of the Raspberry Pi, any graphical interface was omitted during programming. The display communicates with the Raspberry Pi via a serial connection - an RJ45 patch cable is used for the power supply and data transmission. The integrated real-time clock also enables the system to give the current time. This means you can also use the timer function of the heater.

Das Display ist ein eigenständiges Gerät und kommuniziert per serieller Verbindung mit dem Raspberry Pi. Für die Stromversorgung und Datenübertragung wird ein RJ45 Patch-Kabel verwendet. Um den Stromverbrauch des Raspberry Pi zu reduzieren, wurde auf jegliche grafische Oberfläche bei der Programmierung verzichtet.
