[lcd4linux] Mi positive experience

[jose <jos...@ya...>]

Hello. First sorry my poor english.

I buy on eBay the sure-electronics LCD model "DE-LP14113".
First i test on windows. Its work very well. 
Second, lcd its for machine with debian stable (actually version 6). I install 
lcd4linux (apt-get install ....) and when try to configure as matrix orbital 
(same as lcdsmartie) but an error appear.
Next i decide do download the SVN zip from web, extract and compile (no 
especial requirements).
Now works on debian, and this is my config file:


Variables {
   tick 500
   tack 100
   minute 60000
   archivo '/tmp/lcd4linux.tmp'
}



Display LD021 {
    Driver 'MatrixOrbital'
    Model 'DE-LD021'
    Port '/dev/ttyUSB0'
    Speed 9600
    Contrast 0
    BackLight 1
}



Widget Busy {
    class 'Text'
    expression proc_stat::cpu('busy', 500)
    prefix 'CPU'
    postfix '%'
    width 10
    precision 1
    align 'R'
    update 1000
}

Widget BusyBar {
    class 'Bar'
    expression  proc_stat::cpu('busy',   500)
    expression2 proc_stat::cpu('system', 500)
    length 4
    direction 'N'
    update tack
}

Widget Eth0BarRx {
    class 'Bar'
    expression  netdev('eth0', 'Rx_bytes', 500)
    #expression2 netdev('eth0', 'Tx_bytes', 500)
    length 2
    direction 'N'
    update tack
}
Widget Eth0BarTx {
    class 'Bar'
        #expression2  netdev('eth0', 'Rx_bytes', 500)
    expression netdev('eth0', 'Tx_bytes', 500)
    length 2
    direction 'N'
    update tack
}

Widget Eth1BarRx {
    class 'Bar'
    expression  netdev('eth1', 'Rx_bytes', 500)
    #expression2 netdev('eth1', 'Tx_bytes', 500)
    length 2
    direction 'N'
    update tack
}

Widget Eth1BarTx {
    class 'Bar'
        #expression2  netdev('eth1', 'Rx_bytes', 500)
    expression netdev('eth1', 'Tx_bytes', 500)
    length 2
    direction 'N'
    update tack
}

    }
    Row4 {

    }

}

I remove some of widgets . This sample show on left a vertical bar to cpu use 
and four vertical bars on rigth to check stat of two networks.
On center i write the conten of '/tmp/lcd4linux.tmp' generated by a script, 
and auto-update every 10 minutes (crontab).

Good luck.
