Re: [lcd4linux] Silly question...or is it?

Ok, I see what you're saying now. :) Guess I just need to wait until the 
parts get here and I get them wired up.

Next question...

Say I've got a bash script that outputs several values for me (right now 
it outputs to /dev/tty11 for a display). Can I use the lcd4linux text 
widgets to read the values from that script?
