So while waiting on parts in all these other stages, I decided to go down another rabbit hole with the Turing 3.5in screen to monitor the system as well. It claimed to be Aida64 compatible....it's not. .....and I'm not saying the shady software, from a vague risky click website that Turing provides, has malware, but I saw enough sus stuff going on, that a wipe and re-install was done ;) Then I discovered a community that developed a python library to run it (https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python), so I stumbled through a bunch of python coding to get the little screen to be on the front of LunchBox with the system stats rolling (had to order parts and make a 90 degree, USB A 2.0 male to USB-C male, mmmmmm smell them solder fumes). When at home and LunchBox is behind my monitor, the little screen comes off the front of the case and into a little stand below the monitor. I initially just wanted loads, temp, and power......and ended up doing a bit more.
Thanks! I'm using Libre Hardware Monitor, as it's what this python library supported as a sensor. https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor
