How to Use a Screen to Display CPU Temp (not thermistor)?

Belial88:
The new code, it says:

CPU VCORE |3 (some weird character like that kinda)

CPU VR (sometimes it’ll be CPU VRIN |3 weird character that’s slightly different looking)

In smartie’s gui it says CPU VCORE (black box)

CPU VRIN (black box)

I also tried it like how you pictured, where it’s spaced out a bit and the 2nd line (VRIN) has a | at the start of it, it just makes it start further out. No response to voltage reads.

Hmmmm let's see if Smartie sends the ASCII code I think it's supposed to be sending. I've commented out the ADC stuff. The prior line 3 and 4 commands should now display this on the LCD lines 3 and 4;

CPU VCORE v

CPU VRIN v

The | in the pic above was a mistake. The Smartie screen that shows what the LCD is supposed to look like wont match the LCD because the Arduino code is altered. Mine shows the same thing.

FWIW the last 2 cases (0x83, 0x84) in the code snippet below is what I added to the Arduino Smartie code above. You’ll note the ADC portions are commented out. I’m curious to see if there’s a timing problem.
