[lcd4linux] RGB 8x8 LED Matrix driven by Propeller

[Jesse B. <av...@gm...>]

Greetings,

I have one of these LED matrix boards:

that I would like to use with lcd4linux. They are simple 8x8 led matrix 
displays that are driven by a board designed around Parallax's Propeller 
microcontroller (user-uploadable firmware). The board's interface to the PC is 
through a USB to RS232 (ftdi 232) adapter commonly used to program propeller-
based boards.

I just have one question:

Which driver would be the best starting point for this? I'm thinking 
'SimpleLCD' but would like to know if anyone has a better suggestion. 
'LEDMatrix,' of course, caught my eye, but that is apparently for a network 
controlled product using an LED matrix.

The microcontroller program side of it should be relatively simple so long as 
I know what data will be sent from lcd4linux. I would like to just start by 
drawing a bar on it based on load average, or something similarly simple.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Jesse
