Track Info etc. on OLED for PCP

I'd be tempted to increase the size of the search string just in case something else arrives in the future that happens to have "spi" in it but is not the field that you were looking for.

OK - wasn't sure how much variety there would be in config.txt, but how about

# Does config.txt already contain spi
while read line; do
    cleanline=$(echo $line  | sed 's/[[:space:]]*//g')
    echo $cleanline | grep -q spi=
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
            echo $cleanline | grep -q dtparam
            if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  	            spi=$(echo $line)
            fi
        fi
done < /mnt/mmcblk0p1/config.txt

Strip any white space from the line (in case there's spaces between spi and =) then look for spi=, then check if that line also contains dtparam. No doubt there's a cleaner way to do this, but I'm no bash expert.

lol. I know the feeling there. Sometimes I wish we had written the interface in micropython.

piCore did not have micropython by default in the beginning.

Spi was turned off by default recently. I’ve had it cause some conflicts, and figured I would those adding screens would know to look for spi.

Hi @paul. OK, I worked out why I hadn't spotted this ... The 32 bit build has spi=on removed in 8.2, but the 64 bit build hasn't been changed - it still has the original dtparam line. Wasn't sure if it was by design or just an oversight.

OK - I've updated the setup to check for spi in the dtparam line, and add it if it's missing. I've posted the new version to github now.

For a couple of days I have a Evo-Sabre and it works perfect. Thank you.

@livs, I wondered if you were using the location setting to auto switch the contrast at dawn/dusk. I just wanted to double check that was working ok.

Hi Pete, I do not use for now, but for testing purpose I will.
I give feedback asap.

Just an oversight, I do 99% of my work on 32bit. I sometimes forget to make similar changes in 64bit.

I have a new problem. I did some tests and when screensaver starts, the screen is black and do not come on when start play.
This is the case with Jivelite and remote by keytable.
I did uninstall ir and everything goes normal.
When activate log, I see

Also I have this error:
