Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?
In the Slimmer release bundle, there is an LCDd (lcdproc server) compiled for Raspberry PIs and also the required startup files for piCorePlayer. Using the install guide in the Slimmer wiki, you can install only the LCDd (with some unix knowledge). If you want, I can send you the lcdproc client, which displays time, cpu load, memory, network info and so on as rotating screens. I never tested that client, but it should work. tbali's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108798 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Ah, no, I missed that! I'm going to look into it and see if it can be used!

hi bvlet, Have you seen the Slimmer project? Do a search for Slimmer in this forum. There is also a link to it on our pCP projects page. http://picoreplayer.sourceforge.net/pcp_projects.shtml regard Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108798 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?
DJanGo, I can follow your thoughts. I have enough different displays (according to my girlfriend that is :rolleyes:), but I like something about the simplicity of a small display. Maybe it would be easier to emulate a 16*2 LCD display on a 'modern' TFT screen bvlet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67766 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108798 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?
tbh, i would buy a 16x2 at these days anymore... even 20x4 is kind of small and you need tricky things like scrolling.. If i would want a display and didnt have anything (like you) i would by a rpi display and have all the benefits (images animations) instead of a limited set of chars.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?
Information on LMS state would be queried from the server cli via IP (e.g "echo command | nc server:9000). For other things you'd use vgencmd to get pi temp data, or grab some code that pulls weather data from an internet service or something. Or even get a cheap hat/am2320 sensor and measure it live yourself by connecting it to gpio pins. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

[SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?
With some great help from this forum I managed to set up a few rPi's and also an LMS, all based on piCorePlayer. All the players have 7" or 3,5" touch screens, but the server has none. I thought it would be nice to have a small 16*2 or 20*4 LCD screen on the server case with the ability to show the current status of the server, amount of connected players, IP address, temperature, etc. etc. When looking for information I found plenty tutorials to setup an LCD on a 'regular' rPi installation, but I didn't manage to find it for the TinyCore version. I don't mind doing some research, but I need some starting points. Could you help me with that? Is LCDproc a right way to start? I found a nice tutorial here: https://www.rototron.info/lcdproc-tutorial-for-raspberry-pi/ Or would it be better to work with python, like here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPLCD/0.3.0 And where could I retrieve the needed information? Because piCoreplayer is running entirely in RAM, what would be the right location to search for the current server-info? Sorry if this is much more difficult to answer than I think it is, but it surely would look nice :) Thanks in advance for your help!
