What’s the same chip? I have MCP2221 and CH341. CP2112 is ordered 
Just tested it on the main branch for the rpi and it works.
Depending on the content of status.txt, it draws one of these screens.
0 = Full CAVA
1 = Default screen
2 = Clock
3 = Blank

I got my Wyse 3040 and it’s amazing! Bargain for £40 
Hi ,
I am planning to add also a OLED screen to my dell wise . I have understood that i need an adapter , b but I see there are some different models based on Chip version . What version should I buy ?
Thanks
The Wyse 3040 also looks good.
I have a green heatsink “case” for my Pi4, and while I appreciate it being a fanless solution, I wouldn’t really want the Pi where I could see it in the living room!
I have been wondering about repurposing TV boxes, as these are cheap and look good (and the CH341 board might come in handy for reprogramming them). [EDIT: for example How to install Ubuntu onto $40 Android box - YouTube]
The ch341 adapter is worth getting as @Wheaten has managed to get it working

CH341A is the same as CH341?
Thanks
The adapter that has been tested in this thread is the Dollatek adapter with a CH341A chip. There is information on the CH341 letter variants at USB Bridge Controller CH341 - NanjingQinhengMicroelectronics

My Dell Wyse 3040 in my hand!
Looks good enough to have on display in your living room but also sturdy enough to shove it out of sight. Can also open the case, remove 2 screws and the whole thing could be shoved in an enclosure.

Just added a PCB with 4 push buttons. So I can select which layout by pushing one of them.

Then who needs rpi in that case …
If a hdmi wide monitor would exist, to be used with peppy meter
It exists .

@Wheaten I guess this will work with peppymeter no. I am planning to build another streamer and using my wise for that instead of rpi . Thx .
Yas and with the shortage in rpi’s these tiny x86 machines are a winner! There’s 2 display ports available so you could output to a wide HDMI monitor if you wanted too. The trouble is these wide displays are quite expensive 
The display should work fine - I don’t know about touch, can’t see a reason why it wouldn’t.
peppy meter and touch display won’t run (or even install). Full depending on arm libraries.
I expect that using a cheap Displayport 2 HDMI will do the trick and you can use a waveshare screen.
Not tested though, as I have no functionality to connect a monitor.
Yes , I have used my wise with such a adapter to connector to my tv .
When I boot my Wyse with a monitor plugged in to the DisplayPort I see the Volumio UI full screen. I bet this would also work with DP to HDMI converter. I’m not sure if a wide display would look good but I can confirm the UI is there on boot!
If you have a display with touch built in, it might be possible to get touch working over USB? I haven’t used touchscreen yet. I do have a touchscreen in a box (official pi) but have never used it.
Ooh very smart! I’ve dug out a 7 inch display with touch control over USB. I’ll try and get a display port to hdmi adapter so I can test this out.
