Werk,
i am having some issues with my AQM II, nothing to do with anything you supplied, but I thought I would share it with you to highlight what I think may be a future issue. I have been waiting for my 1.3 inch displays to arrive to complete the project (yes i ordered two) and in the meantime been using a smaller display tempoarily wedged in place without soldering.
They eventually arrived but failed to work: both got a little warm to touch but nothing else. I initially thought i had done some damage to the unit, but thankfully it still works with the small display.
The issue i am leading to is he difficulty in removing the display with only four pins (twice) and not damaging the PCB; I would like to see as many sub board components such as the ESP8266 module, for example placed in header sockets, and in this case using the printed enclosure there is sufficient room to achieve this with the ESP8266, but not the screen.
I vividly remember removing the same module from my WD unit, after an electrical storm destroyed it and having to resort to sawing the board up with my Dremmel and then removing the pins; it now is installed with female headers.
I will post a photo of the completed unit eventually, but I would like to know if it is possible to alter the code and have a symbol on the display showing the WiFi status, similar to the one in the top corner of theWD display?
Regardless, I think the unit is fabulous and would like to also see if possible a reading of CO, vey handy in houses with central fuel heating
Regards
Jim
