Should I update Emon Pi firmware to CM, and how?

[rupert]

@TrystanLea Thanks for the information about the emonPi v1 LCD configuration.

I came across a previous topic by chance …

Help to configure lcd display on emonpi

i need help to configure emonpi onboard lcd on image emonsd 17oct19 where is the default configuration file of lcd e.g emonPiLCD.cfg i go crazy to find it but none thank you

where it says about emonPiLCD.cfg:

@borpin

Note if you change it, it will block updates to the emonpi repository as Git will see it as a modified file.

Is the blocking of updates still true, or is there an easy workaround?
