 Similar functions, ''displayCPU()'', ''displayGPU()'', and ''displayRAM()'', are implemented to provide more detailed information about each hardware component, respectively. These functions follow a similar structure, retrieving relevant data from the JSON document and displaying it on the LCD in a user-friendly format.
+====== Results ======
+{{:iothings:proiecte:2023sric:hardwaremonitor:connect.png |}} This section presents the visual results of the implemented system, showcasing the information displayed on the LCD screen for each of the four display states.
+===== Overall Page =====
+{{:iothings:proiecte:2023sric:hardwaremonitor:overall.png |}}
+The "Overall" page provides a concise overview of the system's performance, displaying the CPU load and temperature alongside the GPU load and temperature. This page offers a quick glance at the system's general health and resource utilization.
+===== CPU Page =====
+{{:iothings:proiecte:2023sric:hardwaremonitor:cpu.png |}}
+The "CPU" page provides more detailed information about the CPU, displaying the CPU load, temperature, frequency, and power consumption. This page allows for a more in-depth analysis of the CPU's performance and resource usage.
+===== GPU Page =====
+{{:iothings:proiecte:2023sric:hardwaremonitor:gpu.png |}}
+The "GPU" page focuses on the GPU's performance, displaying the GPU load, temperature, memory usage, and power consumption. This page provides insights into the GPU's workload and resource utilization.
+===== RAM Page =====
+{{:iothings:proiecte:2023sric:hardwaremonitor:ram.png |}}
+The "RAM" page displays the RAM usage, showing the amount of RAM currently used and available. This page helps monitor the system's memory utilization and identify potential memory constraints.
+===== Real-World Setup =====
+{{ :iothings:proiecte:2023sric:hardwaremonitor:project.jpg?600 |}}
+This image showcases the actual physical setup of the project. The ESP8266 microcontroller is connected to the LCD display and the joystick, allowing for user interaction and real-time display updates. The ESP8266 communicates with the server to retrieve system hardware data, providing a seamless and informative experience for the user. This image highlights the practical implementation of the project, demonstrating its functionality and user-friendliness.
+====== Conclusion and Future Work ======
+The project successfully demonstrates the implementation of a real-time system hardware monitoring solution using an ESP8266 microcontroller, an LCD display, and a joystick for user interaction. The system effectively retrieves system hardware data from a server via a Flask API and displays it on the LCD in a user-friendly format. The user can navigate between different display states showcasing various system metrics using the joystick and its button. The system provides a valuable tool for monitoring system performance without interrupting the user's primary activity.
+Future work could focus on enhancing the user experience and functionality of the system. One potential improvement would be to replace the current LCD display with a larger, more visually appealing display. A graphical user interface (GUI) could be developed to present the information in a more intuitive and engaging way. Additionally, exploring the integration of additional sensors, such as temperature sensors or fan speed sensors, could provide a more comprehensive view of the system's health and performance.
