Oops, I should have looked at the link first. I was obviously thinking of a small format LCD display.
Regards, Eric There is emclcd which will drive any display supported by lcdproc (http://lcdproc.org/). Lcdproc is in the Ubuntu repository, so you can "apt-get install lcdproc". Then add "loadusr emclcd" to your hal file. I got a basic display working, but never got around to making it particularly configurable. It is really intended for a Matrix Orbital 4x20 character display, optionally with keypad, and for a 3 axis system. I have not looked at it in a year or two, but there was a problem with jogging, in that lcdproc would not recognize key press and key release events, although the MO display provides them. I patched lcdproc to see these events and submitted the patch to the maintainer of lcdproc, but as far as I know they have never been included. I thought I recalled someone else doing another approach to LCD type displays, but did not see it in a quick check of the wiki. Regards, Eric Has anyone used a USB powered and driven video display with EMC2? I see that Bestbuy has a nice sized AOC available for under $140.00 It would be lighter than a normal VGA display. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AOC+-+15.6%26%2334%3B+Widescreen+Flat-Panel+LED+ Portable+USB+Monitor/3698548.p?id=1218428680308&skuId=3698548&st=AOC monitor&cp=1&lp=9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
