OnScreenDisplay

I am on Firmware Version 1.0.6

https://resources.experimentalpi.com/customizing-the-piboys-on-screen-display/

Firmware 1.0.3 or Newer

1. Turn the PiBoy off and removed the SD card. Put the sd card in to the card reader of a computer and open the SD card in the file explorer.

2. Double click the “osd.cfg” file to open it in a text editor.

Figure 3: The osd.cfg file opened.

3. The options for the OSD are explained in the file’s comments. To activate a feature remove the “#” character from in front of the option. To disable a feature place a “#” character in front of the option.

4. Save the file to commit the changes. Close the text editor.

5. Safely remove the SD card from the computer and put it back in the PiBoy.

6. Turn the PiBoy on and the changes will be applied during booting.

OR just ssh in.

sudo nano osd.cfg

I turned everything off except wifi (since it's spotty) and Battery.

If I turn off wifi perm we should get rid of wifi symbol.

Battery is always good to keep on for OSD and worth keeping.
