[Jack S. <js...@us...>]

Update of /cvsroot/libphidget/libphidget/src/examples
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv7835/examples

Added Files:
	send.sh 
Log Message:
Simple script that can take standard input and make it scroll down a Text LCD phidget


--- NEW FILE: send.sh ---
#!/bin/sh
# Simple little script that uses pidget_cpp to send data out a TextLCD
# use command line -u argument or change puid in here to the serial number
# of your TextLCD
#
# Usage:
# 	cat {somefile} | send.sh -u {phidget serial}
#
# so you could do this:
# 	cat send.sh | send.sh -u 869
#
# and the TextLCD would scroll the contents of that file
#
# or:
#	cat - | send.sh -u 869
#
# Type stuff, and every time you press enter it will send to the phidget
# 
# Enjoy!
