Background:
I bought a 2*16 LCD display that uses USB as a connection. I now want to use this on my Raspberry PI running OpenELEC.
Success 1 – Working display:
- cp /etc/LCDd.conf /storage/.config/
- vi /storage/.config/LCDd.conf
Driver=hd44780
Driver=hd44780
## Hitachi HD44780 driver ##
[hd44780]
ConnectionType=lcd2usb
Contrast=1000
Brightness=300
Keypad=no
Backlight=no
Size=16×2
This will give you display with a Welcome message.
Success 2 – XBMC Service Installation:
- System/Openelec/Services
- Enable LCDSupport (hd44780)
- System/Add-Ons/Services
- Add: XBMC LCDproc
- Change your settings (scroll speed etc) as per your needs.
