[lcd4linux] Scrolling Display

[Gary P. <gpo...@ra...>]

Hi All,

Ok so I have LCD4Linux 0.10.0 installed if that helps,
yes I use the exec command in the majority of my files so I am creating 
numerous threads.

When I close the file after the timeout I use Kill to kill the pid file, 
would this release the semphore ? if not how can I check to ensure that
the semphores are released after use ?

thanks

Hi Gray,

please keep your replies on the list! Thanks!

just run 'lcd4linux -h', it should emit a version number

> I am not sure I understand your question regarding threads ?

Several plugins (namely the exec() plugin) start a separate thread, this
thread communicates with the main process with shared memory and semaphores.

ok. could you please check if you get more and more lcd4linux processes,
until it dies? I suppose it does so. Every process uses one or more
semaphores, until you run out of them.

Do you get this error immediately, or from time to time only?

SEMMNI and SEMMNS can be retrieved from /proc/sys/kernel/sem

LCD4Linux uses semaphores with threads only. Are you using threads
excessively?

Maybe your error comes from a old bug where lcd4linux did not terminate
child processes on exit. Did you try a vurrent SVN version?

Okay, that did not work as planned: sourceforge does not have the
"standard" mail archive with mbox mails online.
Maybe it can be reached on the filesystem somehow?

You are right. Back when I first wrote my email, the mailman archive was
not searchable (and it not right now), but I see that the "forums" like
archive did improve a lot (concerning searching). So the issue I had
with the existing archives are smaller now, I have to agree (still, I
love the frame view of GMANE, but maybe that's just me :-)

When moving away from sourceforge, it would be a good idea to have a new
central place for the older and later archives.
Do you plan to abandon sf completely (as in 'remove the project')?

The list has to/should be signed up by the list admin, but it's just a
small form. The imports are possible with the digests provided by
mailman at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lcd4linux-devel

Luis, I totally agree on the Spam issue. If I understand it correctly,
there are two options gmane offers:
* standard protection: this will obfuscate the mail address in the web
  interface, but the news service they offer will contain the plain text
  addressess (as it usually is in usenet)
* total encryption: all email addresses will be encrypted and will go
  over the gmane server, being filtered there and all who sustain the
  filter, will still get a response in which they have to click a link
  to get their (private) mail through to you.

See also http://gmane.org/tmda.php on the second option.

[lcd4linux] Scrolling Display

[Gary P. <gpo...@ra...>]

Hi All,

I have my LCD up and running - using a 16x2 display it is great but I 
want to scroll through different screens to show various information, 
interface throughput, uptime, host name etc

has anyone written a script to do this ?

I have tried to write a script that starts lcd4linux with an external 
file, after a set time it stops lcd4linux and restarts it with the next 
.conf file.

this seemed to be working but now I am getting "LCD4Linux[27637]: fatal 
error: semget() failed: No space left on device" messages
in my syslog file. The LCD freezes on one screen and I need to reboot to 
restart it.

any ideas or suggestions on how to get around this.

Thanks

Oh... sorry, I've been too lazy to have a look :-)

Great, so there should be no problem with two displays.

The -p option for the pidfile location should be in CVS/SVN, I added it on

ok, good point, I fully agree.

from what I remember GMANE does provide something like "address hiding".

I'd recommend using a new driver, at least as a starting point. The
HD44780 driver is already complicated enough... there are already some
drivers (usb2anything) that drive a HD44780 via USB.

It should be possible to drive two displays with two instances of
lcd4linux, each instance using it's own config file (specified by a -f
option).

Although there may be a problem with the pid file (I'm afraid lcd4linux
lacks a -p <pid-file> option)

But I never tried....

Hi there,

I have personal issues with GMANE, all of them SPAM related. 

Therefore I will only accept it if my (or all) email addresses are concealed
from 
the GMANE public archive.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

No, I have not.

But I think this is a good idea!

At the moment the mailing list is the only important thing hosted at
SourceForge, which I want to get rid of, too (the hosting, not the
mailing lists)

For the moment it would be great if you could set up the list archive at
gmane, and probably even import the archives from sourceforge (I read
something there that such an import should be possible).

I meant the way we talked to the PCF chip, and the question was meant 
for the uClinux developer, not you, sorry for the confusion.

I plan to put myself back into lcd4linux development, to finally finish 
the HD44780-I2C driver, if you split it into it's own file, it would 
surely make things better :)

I had a look at your patch. I can't accept it as it is, because it would
cause lots of problems with people needing the parpott driver :-(

But I got another idea: I will duplicate the HD44780 driver entry in
drivers.m4, providing kind of a "sub-driver" called "HD44780-I2C", which
 doesnt use parport at all.

Are you willing to do some testing? You would have to use the SVN version...

Another question: Why did you use vfork()? From what I've read in the
manpage, this is dangerous....

Well, I never tried, but I think it will NOT work.

These USB-LPT-Bridges emulate somehow a Printer interface; where
LCD4Linux requires a lower level, the ability to change every single
line with a neat timing.

Therefore on a real parport, LCD4Linux does not use the lp interface,
but the ppdev interface. As you wrote above, your kernel driver provides
the lp interface only, but no ppdev.

[lcd4linux] switch to subversion

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi there,

today I finalized the migration from CVS at SourceForge to Subversion
managed by Trac.

Have a look at the "Source Browser" and "Timeline" and enjoy!

To prevent further modifications to the CVS repository, I removed all
developers from the SF project.


Accessing the subversion repository is *very* easy, I think it's even
easier than it was with CVS.

First, you need a subversion client. I'm sure *every* distribution
provides one...

To initially checkout the repo, use the following command:

svn co https://ssl.bulix.org/svn/lcd4linux/trunk lcd4linux

this should create a local directory 'lcd4linux', containing the 'trunk'
of the repository (development will focus on the trunk; branches and
tags are empty at the moment). No Login is necessary!

to update your local repository, use the following:

svn up

(within the lcd4linux directory!)

to check the status of your repo:

svn stat
svn stat -u

to create a patch, just use

svn diff


If you want write access to the repo (and I'd *really* appreciate active
development), please send me and/or Sam a mail to get write access to
the repository (which is easy, too)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!


Finally, I really hope that I can find much more time for development in
the future! I'm very sorry that I didn't even answer emails is the past....

[lcd4linux] Serial CrystalFontz 632 layout question!

[Gnu_Raiz <gnu...@gm...>]

It seems that this list is slow right now, I never did solve my problem I
post back in march. Now since I have more time to play around I am once
again going to see how this will work.

Also the documentation and google are very lacking. First of all to refresh
your memory! I have a CrystalFontz 632 serial display, the driver is working
I can see stuff on the lcd display. My problem is I can not get the display
to show more than one screen. For example I want different rows, to display
different widgets at different times.

So if I add more than two rows, or choose a different layout, it will only
show the first two, and will not cycle through my row list. For example if I
set say 8 rows, with different columns I end up stuck with it not going to
the different rows.  Basically I want to have two rows as one screen and
have them go on to the next two for say 8-10 different screens. I want to be
able to see disk usage one one screen then net activity on the other
followed by a bar chart. If I read the documentation right this should be
done with the rows, I know that I have only two rows to display. But I want
to have it alternate between the rows. This is unclear in the documentation,
the driver documentation does not mention it either.

Also it is unclear how to slow down a widget, I have played with the
different speeds, the documentation is also not clear on what exactly the
tick and tack do, and what the update is for. I understand it is in
milliseconds, but it does not seem to work as advertised. For example the
widget cpuinfo fly's across my screen, and I have tried to slow it down but
it does not seem to work. If I try to use the gpo widget, I get this when it
tries to run the test.

Crystalfontz::GPO(1): GPO out of range (1..0)
Crystalfontz::GPI(1): GPI out of range (1..0)
Crystalfontz::GPO(4): GPO out of range (1..0)
Crystalfontz: gpio_draw(1): GPO out of range (0..0)
Crystalfontz: gpio_draw(1): GPO out of range (0..0)

Also if you run lcd4linux in interactive mode how do you quit out of the
mode? The man page does not show the proper technique to stop it.  I have to
kill the process to make it stop. ctrl C, or ctrl X, just seem to be std
output.

LCD4Linux 0.10.1-CVS
Linux Gnu-Raiz 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 21:16:35 UTC 2006 x86_64
GNU/Linux
This is with ubuntu amd64 edgy

I would like to get get this working I am willing to test setups, and
layouts but something seems to be wrong.
