PhatStats ili9341 TFT PC Performance Monitor Display

PhatStats (TFT) form an Arduino serial display. HardwareSerialMonitor is a PC serial client, both are written by Rupert Hirst and Colin Conway.

HardwareSerialMonitor Windows client reads the hardware statistics from the PC.

This data is forwarded over the hosts’ serial  port to an Arduino compatible micro processor. It is then, displayed using the Phat-Stats sketch.

This project, assumes you have a above average experience with Arduino, the IDE and the compatible boards available.

The HardwareSerialMonitor was designed for dedicated GPU's . Your mileage may vary with Integrated Graphics

To help with construction there are hook up guides, links below:

Phat-Stats ILI9341 TFT Display Hook up Guide

Going Forward:

The project needs to be ported over to LibreHardwareMonitor , a fork of OpenHardwareMonitor  for future support, as this gets a lot more updates for new PC hardware. If anyone can help please get in touch, thanks.

Hello. I am using stm32 .
The display does not show used GPU memory and shader frequency.
And also in the frequency of memory and used memory some extra characters.
Is there any way to fix this?

How to change screen rotation on boot?
I don't use an encoder.

I used stm32, installed all required drivers, loaded the boot file through the ftdi module. After installing all the required libraries, selected the board, com port, pressed "Check", then "Load". After that a splash screen appeared with this bug, ran HardwareSerialMonitor, selected the com port - the result is as shown in the link above

Any way to alter the monitoring app so it finds Intel 12700K temp and frequency? It monitors in other older temp monitoring apps normally but in this its not retrieving info for it only the usage percentage.

I am running as admin it reads the rtx3070 info correctly just not the 12700k info. It is possibly a windows 11 issue?

I got 12700k too, and have the same problem. I think it's because openhardwaremonitor instead of librehardware.

Hey man, is there any 3d printable file of case and enclosure for the project and models also the ones that you put the images in the gallery?

And why don't you use HWiNFO64 instead of OpenHardwareMonitor it's got more features and support more sensors and tag then to the well known names like AUX in some motherboard as a CPU which is correct and this way you will get the cpu temp. also it's free.

Thanks in advance

Ooh, I am thinking about doing something similar soon. I will probably opensource my code, with docking-like features and a UI alternative as well. Let me know if you think that's something worthwhile to put out there.

Indeed :)

  Are you sure? yes | no

tyler wrote 09/01/2021 at 21:48 • point

I'm thinking support for multiple devices over LAN, and a not-connected mode where it just makes a pretty clock face and displays weather forecasts or whatever. This would be really useful for when I have my laptop at my desk vs not at my desk, so I could look over at that rather than using screen real estate.

I would want WiFi, so I'll probably just slap an OLED on an ESP32, but I'm not sure about my hardware. Anyway, I'll make a .io project if I ever do get around to making that :)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Rupert Hirst wrote 09/01/2021 at 23:34 • point

You could use one of the TTGO range, ESP32 with a built in OLED or TFT.

Hi all, love this project! made my gnat-stats with a ProMicro and its amazing, i have rainmeter skin with all CPU processes and I discovered a process called WmiPvrSE.exe with constantly spikes every 3 seconds, this happens only when auto-mode is select, doesnt happen in manual mode, i changued line 91 in form.cs from:

if (isAttached)

to

if ((isAttached) && (isConnected != true)) 

Seems to be fine now, but i dont know if im going to break other feature like my first attempt where i uncommented line 91 and 92 with the result of Usb_DeviceAdded broken haha, my knowledge is limited in coding

  Are you sure? yes | no

Colin Russell-Conway wrote 07/15/2021 at 11:04 • point

WmiPvrSE is part of the windows 10 OS that checks windows management instrumentation.  From what I can recall (its been a while since I put that together and it kind of grew organically) in auto mode it checks if the usb device is attached periodically to make sure it disconnects gracefully.  I'll have to go through the code again when I've time and figure that one out.

Is there a use case for this in automobiles ?  Tapping into the ODBII interface, or CAN bus would be super interesting to build this into a generic "monitor this physical thing with a configurable HUD".      Given the similarities now with computers and Cars - this could really open up the doors to an interesting set of features.

wivope7038 wrote 07/01/2021 at 03:06 • point

suggestion: can we have a web server on the for example ESP32 version to access all the PC information on it maybe even remote out of the house if someone port forwarding the IP address or maybe just checking the temps and PC load from another room in the house.

Maybe someone would be willing to work on it?

Or try this https://github.com/juanillo62gm/Wi-Fi-Hardware-Monitor

Colin Russell-Conway wrote 07/15/2021 at 11:11 • point

You'd need something with wifi or other networking and USB-Serial, so technically an ESP32 could work, but instead of writing to a screen you could alter the Arduino sketch to update a wepage or write it back to any of the hundreds of IoT home automation apps like ESPHome.  There are loads of tutorials online for those.

  Are you sure? yes | no

wivope7038 wrote 06/26/2021 at 18:44 • point

Sorry there was no replay bottom so I send new one here

you asked "Whats the screen brightness like when you connect it straight to 3.3v?"

It's great when connected straight to 3.3v but when I connect it to the pin 4 it's very dim

No I don't use any resistor

  Are you sure? yes | no

Yes replying on Hackaday is awful !!!

you the above library installed?

because you can not set brightness without it!!!

  Are you sure? yes | no

wivope7038 wrote 06/26/2021 at 21:23 • point

Thanks man it worked, I had two ESP32 AnalogWrite library (ESP32_AnalogWrite)and(ESP32_ESP32S2_AnalogWrite) after I delete both of them and add the one you send I was able to change the brightness and it was bright enough.

Thanks again
