hey,
I installed Venus OS on your pi 3 and connected it via HDMI to a Sunfounder 10.1 display.
Is it possible that the display automatically turns off or dims?

Hi @GodnessHimself,
I doubt it will work automatically because powering and control the display is slightly different compared to Victron GX Touch display. But by installing GuiMods and/or RpiDisplaySetup by @Kevin Windrem there is a very good chance.
Oh fuck. don't understand it :(
it is not as easy as it is described.
HDMI dimming is unlikely.
Some HDMI displays will turn off the backlight, some do not. RpiDisplaySetup will help set things up.

If you are new to my mods, you will also need to install SetupHelper
https://github.com/kwindrem/SetupHelper
I don't think I can get this to work.
I have clicked https://github.com/kwindrem/SetupHelper/raw/main/venus-data.tgz. Copied the downloaded file to a USB stick and plugged it into the PI3+.
Then restarted the Venus OS 2x lower reboot.
After that nothing has changed.
now I am here:

I have the SetupHelper (Package Versions) now at the end of the scroll menu of venos OS.
-> Package Version List = Setup Helper v3.15
-> automatic Git Hub updates = normal
-> waiting to check SetupHelper
How do I get the add ons installed now?
I tried to download RpiDisplaySetup under "Code" as a zip file and put it on a USB stick.
This did not work.
Can someone maybe explain this to me easily?
The installation is always the same:
wget -qO - https://github.com/kwindrem/SetupHelper/archive/refs/tags/v4.0b31.tar.gz | tar -xzf - -C /data
rm -rf /data/SetupHelper
mv /data/SetupHelper-4.0b31 /data/SetupHelper
/data/SetupHelper/setup
Isn't that how you install any addon?
SetupHelper is required to run the RpiDisplaySetup setup script but the released version of SetupHelper should be sufficient.
I don't get it installed :(

and what can I do now?
You also wrote that RpiDisplaySetup works with Setup Helper 4.0. I had downloaded this but the OS says v3.15
unfortunately i don't have one. so i will try 2.70 and later update to 2.73
it doesn't work with 2.71

I also tried 2.66. However, this I can not install anything properly :(
I tried again. unfortunately does not work :(
Then I can probably only use the PI display. What a bummer. The display is just too small
after I download the packages vom GitHub I got this massage:
elect the package source GitHub (g) or USB (u): g
RpiDisplaySetup not yet installed - proceeding
WARNING: no version for RpiDisplaySetup current installation - proceeding
now I got on the pi3. I installed Venus OS 2.66, after that I installed SetupHelper and after that RipDisplaySetup.
But how I can update on 2.73. search via firmware -> internet don't work :(
Hey,
PpiDisplay works under 2.66 but not under 2.73
update from 2.66 to 2.73 but also does not work :(
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
