megalodon Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Im using a Brontastor Server which has an LCD display and buttons which was originally designed for use with open-e (The display and buttons). Can we add support to use this with regards to temperatures, drive status, capacity used/free etc. www.armari.co.uk Thanks Guys The display is a Crystalfontz 631 LCD, so Unraid would have to provide support for it. https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/usblcddriver https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/linuxexamplecode There is a free linux based monitoring tool available here - http://lcdproc.org/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdproc/files/lcdproc/0.5.6/lcdproc-0.5.6.tar.gz/download in unraid allows you to add stuff to it, you could try to install lcdproc Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I have the NMedia Pro-LCD -- 2 (rows) x 20 (characters). I just finally unplugged the USB header and power as I could not figure out how to get it to work in unRAID. I got it to work in a Ubuntu VM and Windows VM but that is not really useful.

old man Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 It has been a number of years but you may want to try either running lcdproc in a privileged docker container https://github.com/DE-IBH/lcdproc-docker or failing that if you have an always running virtual machine then passthrough the lcd usb device and run it there though if there were any stats from the main host you want you would have to sort out how to scrape them and pass them in.

PicPoc Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi, Very nice. Were you able to make progress on the subject? I am looking for the possibility of putting a small monitor like this one without a parallel port. Quote Link to comment
