A screw-mounted OLED system monitor that brings live CPU temperature, IP address, and load stats to the top of your Argon ONE V5 case.
The Argon Industria OLED Module for ONE V5 (Model: A24-009-AR-V5-OLED) is a compact OLED display accessory designed exclusively for the Argon ONE V5 case. It mounts flush to the top panel and connects directly to your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header, giving you an always-visible readout of key system metrics — CPU temperature, IP address, and system load — without opening a terminal or SSH session.
The module is part of the Argon Industria ecosystem, a family of industrial-grade add-ons built around the Argon ONE V5 platform. It is aimed at makers, homelab enthusiasts, and light industrial users who want at-a-glance system awareness from a purpose-built, well-integrated hardware solution rather than a generic afterthought display.
Setup is intentionally low-friction: physical installation takes only a screwdriver, the software side is handled by a single shell command, and day-to-day use is as simple as pressing the screen to cycle through display pages. The module is CE certified and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in environments where those marks matter.
📝 Note: The complete packing list below is based on available catalog and manual sources. [TODO: Confirm full packing list contents with product team — catalog does not enumerate individual box items.]
📝 Note: The ABS OLED Cover that must be removed during installation is a pre-installed part of the Argon ONE V5 top case — it is not a component supplied with this module. Keep it somewhere safe; see the Assembly Guide for details.

The Argon Industria OLED Module for ONE V5 is compatible only with the Argon ONE V5 Case. It cannot be used with any earlier Argon ONE revision (V3, V4, or others) or with any third-party enclosure.
Compatibility at the Raspberry Pi board level is determined by which boards fit the Argon ONE V5 case.
⚠️ Warning: Do not attempt to use this module with an Argon ONE case other than the V5. The mounting points, top case geometry, and GPIO alignment are specific to the V5 revision.
[TODO: Retrieve the full list of compatible Raspberry Pi models from the Argon ONE V5 case product page and from https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/, then add a per-board specification table for each compatible model following the format below.]

Compatibility caveats: [TODO: Note any board-specific caveats for use with the Argon ONE V5 and this OLED module.]
📝 Note: Complete the full assembly of the Argon ONE V5 case before beginning these steps. Do not attempt to install the OLED module on a partially assembled case.
⚠️ Warning: Always power off and unplug your Raspberry Pi before making any physical changes to the case or GPIO connections. Connecting or disconnecting components while the board is powered can permanently damage your Raspberry Pi or the OLED module.
Complete the full assembly of the Argon ONE V5 case according to its own instruction manual before proceeding. The Raspberry Pi should be seated and secured inside the case, but the system must be powered off for all hardware steps below.
For the Argon ONE V5 assembly guide, see: https://argon40.com/blogs/argon-resources/argon-one-v5-instruction-manual
The Argon ONE V5 top case ships with a blanking plate called the ABS OLED Cover installed in the display bay. This must be removed to make room for the OLED module.
⚠️ Warning: Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Excessive torque can crack the OLED panel housing or strip the threads in the top case.
⚠️ Warning: The module uses the first 8 GPIO pins. If any other HAT, pHAT, or peripheral is also connected to these pins, a conflict will occur and may damage your hardware. Remove any conflicting add-ons before connecting the OLED module.
📝 Note: Pin-level wiring details (which of the 8 pins carry power, ground, I²C/SPI signals, etc.) are not available in current documentation. [TODO: Add GPIO pinout table once confirmed by product team or datasheet.]
With the hardware connected, power on the Raspberry Pi and ensure it has an active internet connection. Open a terminal and run the following command:
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1v5.sh | bash
Wait for the script to complete. It will install all drivers, daemons, and configuration tools needed for the OLED module and the Argon ONE V5 case.
Once the installation script finishes, reboot the Raspberry Pi:
sudo reboot
After rebooting, open the Argon Configuration Tool to review and adjust settings for your Argon ONE V5 case and OLED module. The tool is accessible from the desktop application menu or via terminal. Follow the on-screen instructions to enable full functionality.
[TODO: Add the exact terminal command or menu path to launch the Argon Configuration Tool, once confirmed.]
Once configured, the OLED module will begin displaying system status information. Press the screen to toggle between available display pages.
📝 Note: The complete list of available display pages and the information shown on each is not fully documented in current sources. [TODO: Obtain full page descriptions from product team.]
The Argon ONE V5 software script handles all required driver and daemon installation for the OLED module. Run it once on a fresh or existing Raspberry Pi OS installation with internet access:
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1v5.sh | bash
After the script completes, reboot before using the configuration tool or testing the display:
sudo reboot
The Argon Configuration Tool is installed by the script above. It provides a graphical interface for managing Argon ONE V5 case settings, including any options related to the OLED display. Launch it after rebooting and follow the prompts.
[TODO: Document specific OLED-related configuration options available in the Argon Configuration Tool — e.g., display page selection, refresh interval, display-off timeout — once confirmed with product team.]
[TODO: Confirm and document the configuration file location (e.g., /etc/argon/, /usr/share/argon/, or similar) where OLED settings are stored, for users who prefer manual editing.]
[TODO: Confirm which Raspberry Pi OS versions (e.g., Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 64-bit, Bullseye 32-bit) are tested and supported by the argon1v5.sh script and OLED driver.]
The OLED module is driven by a background daemon installed by the script. To verify it is running after installation and reboot:
sudo systemctl status argononed
[TODO: Confirm the exact service name — substitute the correct name if it differs from argononed.]
To view recent log output from the daemon:
sudo journalctl -u argononed -n 50
[TODO: Confirm correct service name for log query above.]

Likely cause: The installation script has not been run, or the system has not been rebooted since installation.
Resolution:
1. Confirm the script was run and completed without errors:
bash
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1v5.sh | bash
2. Reboot the system:
bash
sudo reboot
3. After rebooting, check that the background daemon is running:
bash
sudo systemctl status argononed
[TODO: Substitute correct service name if different.]
4. If the service is not active, attempt to start it manually:
bash
sudo systemctl start argononed
Likely cause: The GPIO connector is not fully seated on the first 8 pins, or is misaligned.
Resolution:
1. Power off the Raspberry Pi completely:
bash
sudo poweroff
2. Unplug the power supply.
3. Open the Argon ONE V5 case and inspect the GPIO connection. Confirm the module connector is on pins 1–8 (the end of the header closest to the SD card slot) and is fully pressed down.
4. Reseat the connector firmly, reassemble, and power back on.
⚠️ Warning: Never reseat GPIO connectors with the Raspberry Pi powered on.
Likely cause: No active internet connection, or the download server is temporarily unavailable.
Resolution:
1. Verify your Raspberry Pi has internet access:
bash
ping -c 4 argon40.com
2. If there is no connectivity, connect via Ethernet or configure Wi-Fi, then re-run the script:
bash
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1v5.sh | bash
3. If the server is unreachable and connectivity is confirmed, wait a few minutes and try again. For persistent failures, contact Argon 40 support.
Likely cause: The screen's touch/button input is not registered, or the daemon is not running correctly.
Resolution:
1. Confirm the daemon is active:
bash
sudo systemctl status argononed
2. If the service has crashed, restart it:
bash
sudo systemctl restart argononed
3. If the issue persists, check the daemon logs for errors:
bash
sudo journalctl -u argononed -n 100
4. [TODO: Add further steps once button/input mechanism and diagnostic details are confirmed by product team.]
Likely cause: The daemon process has stalled or the system clock/network configuration has an issue affecting reported values.
Resolution:
1. Restart the daemon to force a data refresh:
bash
sudo systemctl restart argononed
2. Verify the reported IP address matches the output of:
bash
hostname -I
3. Verify CPU temperature reporting is working:
bash
vcgencmd measure_temp
4. If readings remain incorrect after a daemon restart, reboot the system:
bash
sudo reboot
Likely cause: The ABS OLED Cover was not fully removed, or the module was purchased for a different Argon ONE case revision.
