Has anyone wrote any screens or useful things to do with the POD Display ?
none that i could find. I wonder if anyone at Argon40 cares to reply or update the half-baked installation script.

I’ve had 2 of these POD’s and they do not work, and Argon does not care. It’s like WW3 has already started and this company has an active role which is flooding the US market with trash. Do not buy. This company probably sends the stuff that works to Russia for dual-use. Bad company. Bad products.
Looks like fun! How did you manage to load the drivers?

Bought it a month ago and experienced peak anticippointment when it didn’t work out of the box.
Today, the dashboard is alive!!
pardon the iPhone post processing…
I have an ArgonPod with the display module hooked up with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. The Zero 2 W is running the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit. based on Debian Trixie.
I installed cmake and argonpod-config but the install isn’t working. How do I get this working?
$ argonpod-config

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must

code such as
project(ProjectName)
near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().
CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
line.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

What Raspberry Pi OS version are you running? Trixie, Bookworm, or Bullseye? Also, is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
I ran Pi OS Lite 64-bit (Trixie)
However, I did not use their software.
I had ChatGPT replace the vendor dashboard with a small Python-based, vendor-independent display application.
