Chronometer2 is an extension of the original chronometer.sh that is included with Pi-Hole that provides more in depth information about your Pi-hole.

To setup Chronometer2 with an PiTFT+ screen:

• Download and flash the Ready-to-Go Adafruit build of Raspian to an SD card.
• Prevent the display from going to sleep by adding consoleblank=0 to the end of /boot/cmdline.txt.
• Set your Pi to automatically log into the console using raspi-config.
• Configure the console to use the Terminus font at 8x14 by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup.

• Install Pi-hole by running curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash.

• Get a copy of Chronometer2 by running wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpmck/chronometer2/master/chronometer2.sh from pi's home directory
• Make Chronometer2 executable by running sudo chmod +x chronometer2.sh.
• Set Chronometer2 to auto run by adding ./chronometer2.sh to the last line of ~/.bashrc.
• Reboot your Pi-Hole by running sudo reboot. Chronometer2 should now run when your Pi-Hole has completed booting.

If you don't want your PiTFT on all night when you are asleep, you can put it to sleep as well! (Note that other screens may not work with this.)

To do so, edit cron as root (sudo crontab -e) and add the following:

# PiTFT+ SLEEPY TIME
# Turn off the PiTFT+ at midnight
00 00 * * * sh -c 'echo "0" > /sys/class/backlight/soc\:backlight/brightness'
# Turn on the PiTFT+ at 8:00 am
00 08 * * * sh -c 'echo "1" > /sys/class/backlight/soc\:backlight/brightness'

• Just run wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpmck/chronometer2/master/chronometer2.sh again from pi's home directory.
