Hi all,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm running LCD4Linux on a Sophos UTM box (Suse base), I suspect I may have
a dud parallel port, but wanted someone elses thoughts.
LCD4Linux is compiled with just the HD44870 driver, I'm doing a basic
config just to prove I can get a display up on the LCD. I have
double/triple checked wiring and I'm sure I have it right.
My config file looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Display HD44780-winamp {
Driver 'HD44780'
Model 'generic'
UseBusy 1
Port '/dev/parport0'
Size '16x2'
Wire {
RW 'AUTOFD'
RS 'INIT'
ENABLE 'STROBE'
ENABLE2 'GND'
GPO 'GND'
}
}
Widget MEM {
class 'Text'
expression meminfo('MemTotal')/1024
prefix 'MB:'
width 11
align 'L'
precision '0'
update 1000
}
Layout Default {
Row1 {
Col1 'MEM'
}
}
Display 'HD44780-winamp'
Layout 'Default'
----------------------------------------------------------------
When I run it using: sudo /sbin/lcd4linux -Fvv
I get the following:

But nothing ever displays on the LCD. I get the above regardless if the LCD
is connected or not, so I simply don't think it is seeing the LCD at all. I
have tried two different LCDs as well with the same result
Any pointers from here or how I can trouble shoot further?
Thanks in advance!

Matt Hodder

Hi,
I hope someone reads this. The development isn't really engaged in this project, I suspect from the state of the home page.
I'm using LCD4Linux since a while as part of my IPFire appliance on an ALIX board.
LCD4Linux isn't running continously on my system, because from a while to a while I noticed performance losses with the program active. Of course the display of system parameters on a LCD is just a nice addon to my system, but not really necessary.
In the last days we discussed a new config for the Pearl (DPF) display. Unfortunately this config caused very high load ( CPU usage about 80%-90%! ).
First idea was, the use of exec plugin gives that high load. But just a config with 2 static text rows made the same effect!
Further investigation showed two problems:
1) The high load is produced by the update parameter for the text widget class ( =0 -->static, one shot ). Changing the value to just 10 removes that load. Is this issue known? If yes, does exist a patch for this?
2) Trying to eliminate some exec functions ( they just read some info from a file ) by using the File::readline function did not succeed. The files read do not contain a EOL character, thus the function does return the empty string.
Looking at the sources of the plugin showed, that a EOL is mandatory. Why? Furthermore the maximum line length is set to 80. The rest of the line is eaten up.
This behaviour is not necessary. fgets stops at EOF, also. Thus a one line file without EOL char could be read also.
I found further issues with this code.
The code for reading is:
char value[80], val2[80];
....
fgets(val2, sizeof(val2), fp); <--- read 80 chars at most
size = strcspn(val2, "\r\n"); <--- search for EOL, if not found size is >=80
strncpy(value, val2, size); <--- only valid if size <=80
value[size] = '\0'; <--- only valid for size <80

Hi there, as far as I can remember, the i2C driver adaptation that I've made to hd44780 could be modified to work with raspi. However, I know that the technique that I used at that time was very bitbang intensive and not very useful I got CPU usage of over 40%, just for lcd4linux. It may be beneficial to write a new driver from scratch for the raspi but I have no idea of the effort this would need. Luis Correia |

Hello mark, > I hope this is read by someone,… as I have noticed the web page has been filled with spam,.. Oh no, not this again... > Which nicely displays “/(13.0472%)” …. Perfect, almost!! Just Too many digits after dp. Theres no need to do rounding on the expression (although there is a ceil() and floor() function, and rounding could be implemented like "floor(10*x+0.5)/10" The widget where you use the expression has a "precision" argument, which should do what you are looking for. to get the percent sign, use a postfix. hope this helps, michael -- Michael Reinelt <mi...@re...> http://home.pages.at/reinelt GPG-Key 0xDF13BA50 ICQ #288386781 |

I hope this is read by someone,. as I have noticed the web page has been
filled with spam,..
My question is as follows:-
Trying to produce an output of the following format
"/(16.1%) Qstore(54.2%) Mythstore(67.2%)
To show disk usage on a media Linux system
Have used the following line as a base
expression a=(((statfs('/', 'bavail'))*4)/1024/1024);b=(((statfs('/',
'bavail'))*4)/1024/1024);c='/ '.' '.a.'MB /root/ '.b.' MB'
and adapted to suit,.. and got to the following:-
expression a=(((statfs('/', 'bfree'))*4)/1024/1024);b=(((statfs('/',
'blocks'))*4)/1024/1024);c=(100-((a/b)*100));d='/('.c.'%)'
Which nicely displays "/(13.0472%)" .. Perfect, almost!! Just Too
many digits after dp.
How do I remove the unnecessary decimal placed digits,.. I have evaluated
sprint, sed, and bc,.. but I think I may be barking up the wrong tree,.. I
am certainly struggling on how to tie these commands into a lcd4linx
expression. I have worked out precision is not the way to go.
Is any learn'd person of the team able to help me, and put me out of my
frustration.
Kind Regards
Mark

Hi all, It is also my experience that the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi are very simple to access. It is quite popular [1][2] to connect HD44780 compatible LCDs via these GPIOs and access them via LCDproc [3]. The drawback (in my opinion) of LCDproc is that the configuration is not very user-friendly compared with LCD4Linux. In the last hours I did some investigation about options to emulate the parallel port via the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. But up to now I found no existing and promising solution. Another option is to implement a LCD4Linux GPIO driver for the Raspberry, but I think my skills in C are not good enough. A the moment I think I will code a tiny script like this one [4] to get the output I want.

Hi, I would like to disagree. Even though lcd4linux is older then the raspberry, the GPIO-pins of the raspberry are as versatile as the parallel port of yesteryear. Using a search engine you will find several people who have connected an LCD to the RPi. For example: https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/drive-a-16x2-lcd-directly-with-a-raspberry-pi.pdf They even have software, though incompatibel with lcd4linux. The same search engine will also be able to find you several LCDs with an I2C interface (implemented by adding a microcontroller board to the LCD).

Hello Christian, as lcd4linux is a lot older than raspberry, I don't think that it will work, at least not out-of-the-box. back in the "good old days" the only GPIO-like thing on a PC used to be the parallel port, and thats what a low-level driver exists for (drv_generic_parport), which uses either extremely old school io instructions, or ppdev. As I have absolutely no idea how GPIOs are controlled on a raspberyy, I cannot advice you how to implement it. maybe using some kind of i2c-to-parallel chip could work, too. regards, Michael Am 2014-08-31 13:18, schrieb Prof. Dr. Christian Baun: > Hi all, > > is it possible to use LCD4Linux with a LCD (HD44780 compatible > controller), which is attached to the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi? > > Has anybody here an example for a lcd4linux.conf file, which makes use > of the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins? > > Best Regards > Christian > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV. > Video for Nerds.

Hi all, is it possible to use LCD4Linux with a LCD (HD44780 compatible controller), which is attached to the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi? Has anybody here an example for a lcd4linux.conf file, which makes use of the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins? Best Regards Christian |

Hello Laurent,
Although I never owned nor used a HD44780-i2c-display, I had a quick look at the sources: i2c should support
"Soft-Wiring", this menas you shouldbe able to specify the signals in lcd4linux.conf
But I don't know the syntax :-) just try some of the examples from the normal wiring, usind onnly DB0..DB7
try to strat lcd4linux with -fvv, ond look in the output for occurences like
info("%s: wiring: [DISPLAY:%s]<==>[i2c:DB%d]", Driver, name, w);
the soft-wiring code is in drv_generic_i2c.c, function
unsigned char drv_generic_i2c_wire(const char *name, const char *deflt)
good luck! :-)

Hi all
I'm currently trying to use lcd4linux on a WR703N router with OpenWRT,
with a 20x4 HD44780 LCD equipped with an I2C interface.
Unfortunately, after several hours of struggle, I finally found that the
I2C integrated (soldered) interface - model YwRobot LCM1602 - is
finally not compatible with the plain HD44780-I2C driver :-( I got the
same behavior as the TRAC ticket #295 described.
These LCD + interfaces are sold by many vendors (mostly Chinese etc.)
and under several brands.
Actually, the 4 bits of data are assigned to the 4 HIGHER bits of the
"abstracted Port", and RS, RW, and EN are assigned to the LOWER bits :-(
Here is the corresponding table between the PCF8574 output pins and the LCD
PCF 8574 LCD
Pin Function Pin Function
4 P0 4 RS
5 P1 5 RW
6 P2 6 EN
7 P3 NC (backlight ?)
9 P4 11 D4
10 P5 12 D5
11 P6 13 D6
12 P7 14 D7
From what I read on the HD44780 wiki page, in 4 bits mode, the data
bits are ALWAYS assigned to DB0-DB3, and it seems there is no way to
assign them to DB4-DB7 (which in turn are always assigned to control
signals).
Can you help ?
Thanks !

Hi, I am trying to display the output of a script shows the hows current download and upload speeds for a network interface by calculating the difference between current transmitted or received bytes and their values one second ago. How can I run the script just once and send the output to the lcd screen? I can't use exec plugin as it needs to have an interval too. Thank you ! Gabi |

Hi Mark, so it is a noritake device. We have a noritake driver, written by Julien Aube back in 2005. But it supports a different device: the GU128x32-311, which is connected to the parallel port.

I don't think that you can read out something helpful from tty,

Hello Marc, without knowing *anything* about the display, you will most probably fail. getting the cip types may help, but may not be sufficient.

It's connected by "Winamp-Wiring" (http://www.modding-faq.de/index.php?artid=601&page=3) and works fine so far, but I noticed a problem when I wanted to change some of the widgets. Hence I stripped it down to a minimal configuration for debugging. ==================================== Expected Result (. means blank space): |20c.............| |1234567890abcdef| Actual Result: [20.......c......] [1234567890......] !root@urknall:~# uname -a Linux urknall 2.6.26-2-xen-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 5 02:55:27 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux !root@urknall:~# dpkg -l lcd4linux ii lcd4linux 0.10.1~rc2-2 Grabs information and displays it on an external lcd !root@urknall:~# cat /etc/lcd4linux.conf Display HD44780-16x2 { Driver 'HD44780' Model 'generic' UseBusy 1 Port '/dev/parport0' Size '16x2' Wire { RW 'AUTOFD' RS 'INIT' ENABLE 'STROBE' ENABLE2 'GND' GPO 'GND' BACKLIGHT 'GND' GPO 'GND' POWER 'GND' } } Widget MyTemperatureCPU { class 'Text' # expression file::readline('/tmp/stats/temperature_cpu.txt',1) expression '26' length 3 postfix 'c' update 10000 } Widget OneTwoThree { class 'Text' expression '1234567890abcdef' length 16 update 60000 } Layout Default { Row1 { Col1 'MyTemperatureCPU' } Row2 { Col1 'OneTwoThree' } } ==================================== I also tried a fresh compiled binary from SVN. The only change is that the first line is now completely omitted. If I comment "length" out, nothing changes. Different alignments are also useless, except "A" (not supported in lenny's version). The string is now scrolling, but still 10 chars long. "strlen" says 2 for row one and 16 for row two. ==================================== !root@urknall:~# /tmp/lcd4linux -Fvvq LCD4Linux 0.11.0-SVN-1158 starting cfg.c: Warning: key <Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.GPO>: value <'GND'> overwritten with <'GND'> Dump of /etc/lcd4linux.conf: Display 'HD44780-16x2' Display:HD44780-16x2.Driver 'HD44780' Display:HD44780-16x2.Model 'generic' Display:HD44780-16x2.Port '/dev/parport0' Display:HD44780-16x2.Size '16x2' Display:HD44780-16x2.UseBusy 1 Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.BACKLIGHT 'GND' Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.ENABLE 'STROBE' Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.ENABLE2 'GND' Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.GPO 'GND' Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.POWER 'GND' Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.RS 'INIT' Display:HD44780-16x2.Wire.RW 'AUTOFD' Layout 'Default' Layout:Default.Row1.Col1 'MyTemperatureCPU' Layout:Default.Row2.Col1 'OneTwoThree' Widget:MyTemperatureCPU.class 'Text' Widget:MyTemperatureCPU.expression '26' Widget:MyTemperatureCPU.length 3 Widget:MyTemperatureCPU.postfix 'c' Widget:MyTemperatureCPU.update 10000 Widget:OneTwoThree.class 'Text' Widget:OneTwoThree.expression '1234567890abcdef' Widget:OneTwoThree.length 16 Widget:OneTwoThree.update 60000 lcd4linux.c: initializing driver HD44780 HD44780: $Rev: 1066 $ HD44780: using model 'generic' HD44780: using parallel port HD44780: using 1 Controller(s) HD44780: using 8 bit mode udelay: using gettimeofday() delay loop HD44780: using ppdev /dev/parport0 HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:RS - PARPORT:INIT (Pin 16) HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:RW - PARPORT:AUTOFD (Pin 14) HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:ENABLE - PARPORT:STROBE (Pin 1) HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:ENABLE2 - PARPORT:GND HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:ENABLE3 - PARPORT:GND HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:ENABLE4 - PARPORT:GND HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:BACKLIGHT - PARPORT:GND HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:GPO - PARPORT:GND HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:GPI - PARPORT:GND HD44780: wiring: DISPLAY:POWER - PARPORT:GND HD44780: timing: CY = 1000 ns (default) HD44780: timing: PW = 450 ns (default) HD44780: timing: AS = 140 ns (default) HD44780: timing: AH = 20 ns (default) HD44780: timing: INIT1 = 4100 us (default) HD44780: timing: INIT2 = 100 us (default) HD44780: timing: EXEC = 80 us (default) HD44780: timing: WRCG = 120 us (default) HD44780: timing: CLEAR = 2250 us (default) HD44780: timing: HOME = 2250 us (default) HD44780: timing: ONOFF = 2250 us (default) HD44780: using busy-flag checking HD44780: using 0 GPI's and 0 GPO's initializing layout 'Default' layout.c: Layout:Default: migrating 'row1.col1' to 'Layer:1.row1.col1' layout.c: Layout:Default: migrating 'row2.col1' to 'Layer:1.row2.col1' Creating new timer group (10000 ms) widget 'MyTemperatureCPU': Class 'text', Parent '<root>', Layer 1, Row 0, Col 0 (to 0,10) Creating new timer group (60000 ms) widget 'OneTwoThree': Class 'text', Parent '<root>', Layer 1, Row 1, Col 0 (to 1,10) lcd4linux.c: starting main loop ^Clcd4linux.c: got signal 2 lcd4linux.c: leaving main loop HD44780: shutting down display.

In this case you may be using a very old version of lcd4linux. mine says: merlin.merlin.local:~ # lcd4linux -l LCD4Linux 0.11.0-SVN-1092 Copyright (C) 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 The LCD4Linux Team <lcd...@us...> available display drivers: [lots of stuff deleted] available plugins: cfg, math, string, test, time, apm, asterisk, button_exec, cpuinfo, dbus, diskstats, dvb, exec, event, fifo, file, hddtemp, huawei, i2c_sensors, iconv, imon, isdn, kvv, loadavg, meminfo, mpris_dbus, netdev, netinfo, pop3, ppp, proc_stat, sample, seti, statfs, uname, uptime, w1retap, xmms Which version do you use?

Hi Thanks again for a great little utility which I've been using since about 2005! I have a minor edit for the wiki, since I have no login perhaps I can post it here for an administrator to slip it in? The packages hosted for openSuSE are no longer at http://software.opensuse.org/download/LCD Instead they are at http://software.opensuse.org/package/lcd4linux?search_term=lcd4linux# There is no package listed for 12.1 or 12.2 (current) but the one-click install named "factory" seems to work well for me on my 12.1 based file server. Version is 0.11.0 -- Cheers Richard (MQ) Linux user # 439271 |
