Hey guys,
first thanks for programming LCDproc!
I've got an Raspberry Pi 1 B Rev 2 connected to an HD44780 LCD, I've followed the this wiring how to: http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/08/16x2-lcd-module-control-with-backlight-switch/#prettyPhoto (But used other gpio pins)
When I trigger the backlight pi via gpio command the backlight-switch works fine. But when I put it into the LCDd.conf file it won't. The screen just stays black.
I think I've forgot something but I can't find any failure.
Here's the LCDd.conf file:
