P.015 [2744] Targeted Ship should give the targeted module and its health. I don't know of a journal event that lists all modules that can be targeted.
In-Development StatusDisplay - status.json / journal display and surface navigation assistant.

I saw in your description you used a rasberry pi display, would this work with an arduino?
Yes. What I did is I have an Arduino and wired they keyboard buttons to that, and the Rasberry Pi display just functions as a USB monitor.
When all is said and done the monitor has 3 wires coming out of it: One HDMI, One USB that powers the display, and one USB that connects to Arduino.
Ahhh! i gotcha, i thought you needed a rasberry pi to run the display. Cool, and you just run the MFD program off your PC and pin it to you button box monitor correct?
Yep. As far as my PC is concerned there are two devices from this box: 1 monitor, 1 keyboard.

Hello,
I love your Status Display and the progress you've made.
I use them on 2 side monitors when i fly, but this only works for me in Windows. Since 1 or 2 weeks i use ED on Linux Mint via the last Proton release. Status Display will start, but doesn't connect to the status.json. I think because it looks on the wrong place. Is there a way to fix this?
Keep watching the skies and fly save

Thanks.
By default StatusDisplay looks in "C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\" to find game published files. It reads the "USERPROFILE" environment variable to determine the "C:\Users\<username>" part of that path.
The app can be told to use a different directory in lieu of the "USERPROFILE" value by putting the desired path at the end of the second line of the INI file. Change the "." at the end to a ";" then add the path to the "Saved Games" directory (don't put a "\" at the end of that user defined path).

Followed the instructions but they are a little vague. If I am using a network folder to connect to the journal files would \\ComputerName\ED work or do I do "\\ComputerName\ED" be needed? Do I need to put a ; at the end of the new line or a period?

Any user defined path requires to point to the directory where the user's "Saved Games" folder exists; no characters are needed around the path; nothing should be appended to the end of the line.

Hi Robert,
Facing the same issue i did some tests.
Here's what I've found out.
1) You have to set a share to the folder c:\User\<Username> on the computer Elite is running on
2) You need to link that folder to your computer running StatusDisplay
3) In the StatusDisplay.ini-file:
[StatusDisplay]
SD:0000000000000371;Y:
Y = the disk share
Yeah, got that figured out. Thanks for the help.
Is there a way to edit the Grid0 Settings elements outside of the GUI? I am finding it really painful to go through the drop downs and alter the stuff I want. It would be nice if you could use the "P codes" in an excel sheet and save it as a CSV and "import" the layout. I totally get the dropdowns, although it would be nice if they were just text boxes and you could type the "P codes" in yourself. The only other thing would be a legends that tells you what codes are available with a description.
