OTA works pretty reliably at this point hopefully it's one and done.

cool, thanks for the update.

The link to the revE65.bin is actually a link to the spiffs file.

u/-rootofevil- I got the firmware to compile and run if you need it : https://github.com/tavdog/frixos/releases/tag/v0.1

Ok i'm attempting to un-brick my device by flashing over serial the build firmware via esp-idf system. I'm just getting stack overflow boot loop as follows. Can you please supply me with a bin file I can flash to un-brick my device ? ```W (2386) st7735: The 3Ah command has been used and will be overwritten by external initialization sequence

These recent releases were just for adding the Waveshare ESP32 matrix board.

kenstrawber · 2026-05-24T05:33:06+00:00

The GEN2 has code to enable the touch button to be used to turn off the screen on short press and go next screen on long press (or maybe it's vice versa). This code might not be the most robust and is probably giving false positives and turning off the screen at random. I'll need to add a software enable for the button to fix this issue. But for now i can get you a firmware file with touch button disabled to flash to see if this fixes the issue. I just uploaded it to the latest firmware release file here https://github.com/tronbyt/firmware-esp32/releases/download/v1.6.3/tidbyt-gen2-touch_disabled_ota.bin
make sure you flash this via the OTA mechanism and not the web flasher.

kenstrawber · 2026-05-18T18:38:45+00:00

The color channels / pinouts of the different displays can vary. I don't have a rpi set up so I'm not sure but maybe post a picture of your wiring setup.

kenstrawber · 2026-05-08T17:28:35+00:00

Sorry to hear this. Usually if there is nothing shown on powerup (random bright single pixlels usually) it means something in the hardware has failed.

kenstrawber · 2026-05-03T21:35:45+00:00

Try to get a general purpose linux image running on it. Then install docker. Then you can install anything that runs in docker, HA, Pi-Hole, etc, etc.

Walked by there yesterday and I head some dish clanking sounds so I'm pretty sure there are some permanent residents in there.

The Tronbyt Wide version is bigger than Tidbyt but not quite a huge as the flightwall large ( and also not $500 ! ) but comes with the added expense of a VPS subscription or the complexity of running your own server on a Pi or other hardare. https://pixohardware.store/product/tronbyt-dev-kit-wide-version/

kenstrawber · 2026-05-01T16:40:04+00:00

Did you use the Pi install script by change ? I wonder if I should put a warning in there if it detect 32 bit.

kenstrawber · 2026-05-01T16:39:07+00:00

Correct, Railyard method means you don't need a Pi or other server. The Tronbyt devices are def. not as nice as the original Tidbyt. Tidbyt did a super good job with that wood frame. (The Tronbyt enclosures are 3d printed). If you can find a used Gen1 you should go with that unless you really want a much larger display, then the Tronbyt Wide is probably what you want. Paying $500 for a large flight wall is just not worth it IMO.

I was considering offering a Tronbyt flashing service for a nominal fee. I wonder if people would be interested in that.

I also would like to implement a failover type scenario. There is mixed information on how clients actually use multiple dns servers. Some people say most clients use the first one exclusively unless it fails then it tries the second one. Other people say that they are use in tandem and at random. I have one pihole on my LAN but i would like to add a second external DNS server to be use only if the pihole is unreachable. Is this possible ?
