Now it displays fine, but even though I have colon blink activated, they do not appear. The time is still not displayed beyond the start, although everything is configured correctly in Openvfd, I think.
Try to reduce the “Display for” of the temperature, or disable them completely.
It’s some sort of configuration issue with the timings you have set.
Does any other icon blink? Instead of the colon? Is the ethernet icon always on or does it blink?
Do any of the other relevant icons blink/work?
In your pics, it’s hard to make out, but looks like the VFD chip is a 650, not 655, correct? (the small 16 pin chip at the top of your picture)
the ethernet icon blink at startup, while the time is displayed.
Change the first numer (2) in vfd_chars='2,1,2,3,4' to 1 or 3 or 4.
One of these should make the colon blink. The other numbers will make the other icons blink.
Can you please map numbers to icons? For testing, disable the OpenVFD addon in kodi, this will keep the clock + blinking icon.
1 - ?
2 - Eth
3 - ?
4 - ?
I lowered the temperature display for 15 seconds and the time is now showing well.
Clock colon is now solved, but is there a possibility that eth or wifi will be displayed depending on the type of connection being used?
1 = Wifi
2 = Eth
3 = Clock colon
4 = USB
I think this should fix the icons too

It should only show Eth when you’re connected with a cable.
Wifi should show when wifi is connected and USB when a USB drive is plugged in.
It does not work. The only thing that has happened is that Clock Colon has disappeared.

Ok, then change the vfd_dot_bits='0,6,5,4,1,2,3' back to vfd_dot_bits='0,1,2,3,4,5,6'
I’ll look to see if it’s possible to enable the other icons this week.
OK. Thanks for everything.
I pushed changes to the driver which should make it work with the last vfd config I posted, and enable the icons.
Please test it out with tomorrow’s nightly build.

The driver should be working fine, now the usb icon is showing. This flashes at startup and remains solid afterwards. The problem must be in vfd.conf, because there is nothing plugged into the usb. Even if I remove eth, if it is connected and put it back in, nothing happens, the usb icon remains there.
Are you using the latest vfd.conf I posted here?
And do the eth and wifi icons work properly?
Like if you connect an ethernet cable, does the icon light up?
And if you connect to wifi, does the wifi icon light up?
Yes, exactly that one. None of the icons work and the USB icon appears active without having anything connected.
Not even the colon?
No, that doesn’t work either. the USB icon blink on startup.
The eth icon is activated if I play something, as if it were play.
Hi!
I have purchased a Vontar W2 ATV TV Box with s905w2, and I am pretty sure that it’s the same as the Vontar X2, although I am not sure that the display of both is the same. In any case, I have not found any vfd.conf file for either of them.
Do you know where I can find the vfd.conf file for any of them?
When I enter cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio in the Android terminal, it tells me that said directory does not exist.
But I was able to extract the dtb file.

Thank you!
Tomorrow’s CE-20 nightly (or Friday’s CE-21, fix didn’t make in time for tonight’s 21) will have another fix, please try it and let me know if it works.
Use this vfd with it:

Thank you!
Now the display is on.
It is displayed like this:
I didn’t know the display had “playback” and “clock” indicators, I never saw them on Android, on CoreELEC they are always on.
And the “eth” indicator is not displayed (the box is connected through ethernet cable).
As for the time, I have verified that what should be the minutes indicator (fourth digit) does not change, and instead the second digit changes (I think the second and fourth digits are swapped).
I have also verified that the first digit blinks, but if I activate “clock colon always on” in OpenVFD it stops blinking.
Temperature and date are not displayed even if I enable them in OpenVFD.
Thank you so much!
EDIT: Now the “pause” and “eth” indicators are also on.
