An LCD status monitor for PiAware
Currently, Finch must be compiled and cannot be installed directly through a package manager. A make file is provided
for convenience. The binary can be built by running make
from the root project directory. Finch was developed using
Go version 1.18.
Finch can be run by running ./finch
. If you want to keep Finch running after closing your terminal, then you can use
nohup: nohup ./finch &
Finch is configured using a configuration yaml file. An example config.yml file can be found in the root Finch directory. The example configuration file contains defaults as well as a description of each field.
Currently, Finch only supports the affordable and available SSD1306 LCD display. Additional display types will be included in future releases.
