LCD customisation

Hardware
1

I have set up my brewpi using an old iPhone as the LCD screen following the instructions at http://www.srvbrew.com/blog/use-an-old-phone-as-a-brewpi-display

I am wondering if I can customise this firstly so the room and fridge temp can both be shown at the same time and also so I can show a total time running.

The iPhone has the space for the extra lines on the screen and it seems a shame to waste the extra space.

Anyone? :slight_smile:

Yup, I did this by hacking js\main.js refreshLcd() and fail() to overwrite individual lines on the lcd display and fail() to not clear the screen when communication cannot be made. It requires 2 javascript refresh cycles to write all the info, but it works.

Thanks for this, could you expand or provide the code?
