I’ve got my CrystalFontz 20x4 working. I can see the welcome message displayed when the Rasplex boots, but I never see the menus or current song/movie. I’ve enable LCD in the two places of the GUI that exist and of course did the LCDproc portion in /storage/.config/LCDd.config
What am I missing?
Hi,
I´m having the same issue. In my case it´s using a hd44780 lcd with lcd2usb. As @jroberts235 I´ve enabled also the LCD configuration in the two places (settings and System Settings) of the GUI and this is the configuration made in the LCDd.conf file:
# The following drivers are supported:
# bayrad, CFontz, CFontzPacket, curses, CwLnx, ea65,
# EyeboxOne, g15, glcd, glcdlib, glk, hd44780, icp_a106, imon, imonlcd,
# IOWarrior, irman, joy, lb216, lcdm001, lcterm, lirc, lis, MD8800,

**Driver=hd44780**

# Select what type of connection. See documentation for availabe types.
ConnectionType=lcd2usb
# I/O address of the LPT port. Usual values are: 0x278, 0x378 and 0x3BC.
# For I2C connections this sets the slave address (usually 0x20).
Port=0x378
# Device of the serial, I2C, or SPI interface [default: /dev/lcd]

# Bitrate of the serial port (0 for interface default)

# If you have a keypad connected.
# You may also need to configure the keypad layout further on in this file.

# [default: 800; legal: 0 - 1000]
Contrast=1000
# Set brightness of the backlight (lcd2usb and usb4all):
# Brightness is the brightness while the backlight is set to 'on'.
# [default: 800; legal: 0 - 1000]

# OffBrightness is the brightness while the backlight is set to 'off'.
# [default: 300; legal: 0 - 1000]

# If you have a switchable backlight.
Backlight=no
# If you have the additional output port ("bargraph") and you want to
# be able to control it with the lcdproc OUTPUT command
OutputPort=no
# Specifies if the last line is pixel addressable (yes) or it controls an
# underline effect (no). [default: yes; legal: yes, no]
#Lastline=yes
# Specifies the size of the LCD.
# In case of multiple combined displays, this should be the total size.
Size=20x4
# For multiple combined displays: how many lines does each display have.
# Vspan=2,2 means both displays have 2 lines.
#vspan=2,2
# If you have an HD66712, a KS0073 or another controller with 'extended mode',
# set this flag to get into 4-line mode. On displays with just two lines, do
# not set this flag.
# As an additional restriction, controllers with and without extended mode
# AND 4 lines cannot be mixed for those connection types that support more
# than one display!
#ExtendedMode=yes
# In extended mode, on some controllers like the ST7036 (in 3 line mode)
# the next line in DDRAM won't start 0x20 higher. [default: 0x20]
#LineAddress=0x10
# Character map to to map ISO-8859-1 to the LCD's character set

# If your display is slow and cannot keep up with the flow of data from
# LCDd, garbage can appear on the LCDd. Set this delay factor to 2 or 4
# to increase the delays. Default: 1.
#DelayMult=2
# Some displays (e.g. vdr-wakeup) need a message from the driver to that it
# is still alive. When set to a value bigger then null the character in the
# upper left corner is updated every <KeepAliveDisplay> seconds. Default: 0.
#KeepAliveDisplay=0
# If you experience occasional garbage on your display you can use this
# option as workaround. If set to a value bigger than null it forces a
# full screen refresh <RefreshDiplay> seconds. Default: 0.
#RefreshDisplay=5
# You can reduce the inserted delays by setting this to false.
# On fast PCs it is possible your LCD does not respond correctly.
# Default: true.
DelayBus=true
# If you have a keypad you can assign keystrings to the keys.
# See documentation for used terms and how to wire it.
# For example to give directly connected key 4 the string "Enter", use:
# KeyDirect_4=Enter
# For matrix keys use the X and Y coordinates of the key:
# KeyMatrix_1_3=Enter
KeyMatrix_4_1=Enter
KeyMatrix_4_2=Up
KeyMatrix_4_3=Down
KeyMatrix_4_4=Escape
I´ve restarted after configure all the settings several times but… after the message of Welcome to Rasplex nothing more is showed.
Thanks
