Does this change the screen echo "E" > /dev/ttySx to clear the screen, then echo "L Text" > /dev/ttySx

Ok I'm now on version 6.12.0-rc6. I've ran the same commands via the terminal but nothing on the LCD, do i need to set any settings within the app?

Do you see S1 if you run ls /dev/ttyS* lcdproc options will some data on the screen. In my case CPU->Memory->Clock->Interface and this will rotate.

So the command came up with: I set my settings to this: Haven't managed to change the LCD text yet, still stuck saying "Booting..."

Will need to look into what you need to config for a test. and this does nothing? echo E > /dev/ttyS1

August 9, 20232 yr Works on my QNAP TS-453A. Only thing missing is to turn off the background light after a while. Its pretty bright and editing the brightness in the config does not seem to work. Other thing is that the TS-453A only has two buttons to use for LCDproc. Edited August 9, 20232 yr by Zard0Z

But you can run these to turn off the screen 1 = on 0 = off so you could run as a user script on a schedule. root@QNAP:~# echo -e "M^\x1" > /dev/ttyS1 root@QNAP:~# echo -e "M^\x0" > /dev/ttyS1
September 3, 20232 yr I am looking for a way to control an Alphacool graphic LCD 240x128 with serdisplib. Is this planned in this version at some point?
September 24, 20232 yr Beadapanel support would be really welcome too. These screens connect via USB.
September 29, 20232 yr is there any way of editing the settings of the screen display? Mine has all the data a few spaces to the right meaning a lot of stuff is cut off. Its only a 2 line display...
October 11, 20232 yr Has anyone figured out a way of changing the display settings? Its currently at 20x2 but i need to change it to 16x2

I tried with the plugin disabled, enabled, etc etc but each time it reverts back to 20x2. Same for when the system reboots, etc.

Same for when the system reboots, etc. Added option for 20x2 and 16x2 to settings download and put the file on the system run installpkg --install-new filename. Not packaged as yet into the plugin. lcd_manager-2023.11.07.txz
December 11, 20232 yr I'd like to use something like this to drive PWM pins on an ESP32 (or Arduino) for analog gauges. Has anyone done something similar, or gotten an ESP32 to work?

December 11, 20232 yr 18 minutes ago, SimonF said: Did you see this post by ich777 I did, which is part of the reason I'm asking if anyone has gotten it working with the ESP32. Seems like a "should be able to" answer at this point. ***Edit - that came off kind of snarky, sorry about that, wasn't my intent. I'm interested in building some analog gauges that are "remote" via an ESP32 over the network. This plugin is obviously pulling the real time stats from Unraid, so I'm hoping someone has taken that next step to get it working over IP. I'm hoping I can figure out how to take the data meant for an LCD display and convert that into PWM for analog gauges. Edited December 11, 20232 yr by Bitbass
February 16, 20242 yr Would this work? https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfal1602cyt-16x2-sunlight-readable-oled
