Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] Treiber einbinden

Hi Micheal
 
that did the trick. Thanks.
 
How can I contribute the driver now, so that it becomes part of the distribution ?
I would write a little bit of documentation describing the hardware.
 
 
 
In addition, I have 2 items for the wish list
a) TCP-Server-Plugin: 
Use Case 1: Display abitrary and changing information (like the fifo plugin)
Use Case 2: Display messages from other than the local machine.
(I think LCDProc also relies on a tcpip protocol. If this would be integrated it would make the various clients written for lcdProc usable for lcd4linux as well)
b) Show sequence of layers:
Use Case: Display more infomation than fit directly onto an LCD display by showing it sequentially.
 
 
 
And I found something, that might be a bug:
lcd4linux resets the display string, if time function changes string while it is scrolled.
 
Using the configuration below on a single line display shorter that the string will restart to display the string every second. The string
will never completely be shown.
 
/etc/lcd4linux.conf
Widget Test {
    class 'Text'
    expression  strftime(' The current time is %m/%d @ %H:%M %S',time())
    width 40
    align 'M'
    speed 150
    update 1000
}
 
I also wish you guys a happy new year....
