Build Instruction

  • Print the outer shell.
$ sudo apt install -y git tightvncserver

# Install Node.js
$ git clone https://github.com/tj/n /tmp/n && cd /tmp/n && sudo make install
$ sudo n v10

# Install https://github.com/xpertsavenue/WiringOP-Zero

# Enable spi interface 
$ sudo vi /boot/armbianEnv.txt # or use armbian-config
! overlays=spi-spidev analog-codec usbhost2 usbhost3
+ param_spidev_spi_bus=1

# Setup vncserver
$ mkdir ~/.vnc
$ vncpasswd ~/.vnc/passwd

# Install the dependencies & config files
$ git clone https://github.com/likeablob/macmini ~/macmini
$ cd ~/macmini
$ sudo ./install.sh

# copy ypur assests

Basic Concepts

  1. At system boot, fbtft_device kernel module is loaded and it initializes the LCD as /dev/fb0.
  2. nodm starts an X session and ~/.xinitrc get executed.
  3. ~/.xinitrc launchs matchbox-window-manager and ~/macmini/switcher/*js.
  4. ~/macmini/switcher/index.js reads the scripts ~/macmini/switcher/sh.d/*sh and spawns them one by one when there is a HTTP GET request at localhost:5501/.
  5. ~/macmini/switcher/gpio-reader.js watchs the push SW at GPIO7(PA06) and send a request to localhost:5501/.

How does the low-res LCD(320x240) handle 512x384 resolution?

Internally tightvncserver and ssvncviewer are used to scale the display.

  • e.g. 1_large_minimac.sh launches:
    • tightvncserver to create a virtual display (512x384) at DISPLAY=:1 (:5901)
    • minivmac in DISPLAY:1
    • ssvncviewer -scale 0.625 in DISPLAY:0 (By the -scale option, low-res LED get upscaled)
