Hi,
Searching for a longer time but did not find any tutorials for using NOKIA LCD as display for Volumio. I made little python script based on some solutions that I found on web. I’m not a programmer and my problem is how to refresh screen with new values without resetting it (now the script is based on loop so every loop screen is blinking). Any idea’s how to make it without loop? Thanks for reply in advance!

data = json.load(a)
with os.popen('volumio status') as b:
data1 = json.load(b)
with os.popen('volumio status') as c:
data2 = json.load(c)
with os.popen('volumio status') as d:
data3 = json.load(d)
VOL_stat = str(data['volume'])
Title_stat = str(data1['title'])
Status_stat = str(data2['status'])
Source_stat = str(data3['trackType'])
