Lol.
Being serious, it's part of upgrading to the latest Pi firmware and I like the new interface

Nothing wrong with the old version, I was on REALLY old that wouldn't display the "alternator" bit which is my new Orion XS 1400

It's a Raspberry Pi (cigarette packet sized computer) programmed with the free Venus OS from Victron. With a permanent Internet connection this will log data on everything and upload it to a Victron website called VRM where you can view it all, update parts of the system and change parameters all remotely.
I don't normally have a screen in the van because you can get it all on your phone, this was just while making some changes.

I really like having the 'kiosk' display in the van, dedicated to the Victron setup.
Pretty easy to setup, wireless and using an old phone that would otherwise be sat in a drawer (I reused a phone that was giving me issues with the touch screen not always 100%.. Too frustrating to use as a phone, but more than good enough for a victron screen).
Lives above the door. Phone gel cover is screwed to a CBE frame/cover and I can pop it out the cover if I want to use it sat down or whatever.

Can really recommend you look at doing one of these and only cost is a bit of time and maybe make youself a custom 3D-printed mount?

I'm disappointed you don't have a permanent 80" screen in the van to make Barry really jealous.

I did have an old phone doing that but didn't miss it when it broke, so haven't bothered again. Each to their own, I've said before I like the way you've mounted yours
