AWESOME! It works!
Thank you so much!
I hope it works with the other RPi versions as well! At least with the RPi2 it is running fine now!
If you need me for more testing, please let me know!

This is a know issue thread-3769.htmlIt has been fixed in the latest lcdproc if you can build it. I'm not that confident with cross compiling so I patched the HD44780.so file and it now works great.
If you want the patched file let me know. This will fix the "Not a raspberry pi" message on 1.8
As I wrote, I already have a driver which does not show "Not a Raspberry Pi" but there must be an other problem as well. Does your patched driver fix both problems? Pleasy share the driver. I would love to do some testing! -
Thank you very much!
Let me know if you need someone to test the fix! -
I have a problem with the LCDProc addon for KODI 17! (With KODI 16 and the included LCDProc everything works fine!)
My configuration:
RaspberryPi 2B
Display 20x4 (HD44780) connected via GPIO
LibreElec 8.0.0
LCDproc v8.1.103
hd44780.so (81kb, copied to "/storage/Downloads/", works fine with Kodi 16)These are the changes I have made in the LCDd.conf in "/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd/":
"DriverPath=/storage/downloads/
Driver=hd44780
ConnectionType=raspberrypi
D7=18
D6=23
D5=24
D4=25
RS=7
EN=8"This is the error message I get:
"Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1
Could not load driver hd44780
There is no output driver
Critical error while initializing, abort."There is one more line in the error message when using the bundled driver:
"check_board_rev: This board is not recognized as a Raspberry Pi!
Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1
Could not load driver hd44780
There is no output driver
Critical error while initializing, abort."Please let me know if you need more information or if you want me to test something!
The same problem is also discussed in this thread:
