Digipeater and TNC screens do not appear on small 240x240 ST7789 display.  the Main DigiPi and Standby screens display fine. but when switching to TNC or Digipeater the display remains on the DigiPi Main or Standby screen.  The Digipeater appears to be working correctly as I am seeing packets in PkLog with a strength between 40 and 60 and I am seeing packets and objects being displayed correctly on the Map.

Great - thanks Dan, that's the kind of testing I'm looking for - regression testing :)

Quick fix if you want to get the st7789 working, is to correctly spell heigt
on line 179 of direwatch.py:


Click Shell
password=raspberry

sudo remount
nano direwatch.py

elif displaytype == 'st7789':
   ## square adafruit screen 1.3" (240x240), two buttons
   dc_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D25)
   cs_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D4)
   spi = board.SPI()
   disp = st7789.ST7789(
       spi,
       cs=cs_pin,
       dc=dc_pin,
       baudrate=24000000,  #64K works
       height=240,
       width=240,
       y_offset=80,
       rotation=180
   )
   width = disp.width
   height = disp.height


thanks again,
