#
# This is a bash script to get my LCD display working on Linux.
# It came with the Mstation HT-3000 case from 3RSystem.
# The device is identified as ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller.
# However, the LCD panel is different from the others I have seen around in the internet.
#
# It has:
#  - 12 text characters for messages and the clock;
#  - 3 fan indicators (updated automatically);
#  - a temperature indicator (updated automatically);
#  - a CPU usage bar;
#  - another bar in the left I couldn't get to work.
#
# LCDd does keep the panel on, but it can't update any info, and the clock just keeps frozen at 12:00.
# I've tried both the imon and the imonlcd drivers, same results.
# This script does get it working, however, you need to keep LCDd from accessing /dev/lcd* before running it.
# Just don't use drivers like "imon" or "imonlcd" in LCDd.conf, or they will confict with ht3klcd.
#
#
# Usage:
#
# ht3klcd
#   Run in loop mode. Use "ht3klcd&" to keep it running in the background.
#
# ht3klcd "MESSAGE"
#   Display a text message (uses a pipe, needs a running instance)

#I dont know how to activate the left bar (volume?). Couldn't get it to move on Windows either.

#Buffer always ends with 02 on Windows, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
