  • LCDproc problem

    Hi,
    I've not tested this new Version, but had a look.
    I will not work for most LCDs connected to ARM Devices, especally rpi's and hd44780.
    Because of the displays aren't connect through /dev/ttyS0, serial Port but direct GPIO.
    Please have a look at LCDproc User's Guide.
    We need some special configuration for hd44780, at least the ConnectionType must be specify-able for a out-of-box experience


    This is an Example from my .conf

    Code
    ConnectionType=raspberrypi
D7=18
D6=23
D5=24
D4=25
RS=7
EN=8

    Thanks for the Hints. I stumbled in the same Problem with LCDd.
    I'am using a RPI3 and LCDd stops because of this with the following error

    Code
    hd44780: cannot get IO-permission for 0x378: No such device
Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1
Could not load driver hd44780
There is no output driver

    I had to paste my old config to /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/http://service.lcdd/LCDd.conf
    which specifies a modifed DirverPath and loads a RPI hd44780 Module.

    Just to get clear, in the past this won't worked by LCD-Setting also, I had to use autorun.sh.
