      Ok it's solved form me, I just do step 2 and all is fine now.
      You make LCDproc better with this new add.
      Hope to see more screen in futur.

      I always check on google to found a solution to use the 4 LED on my CF635 without succes

      Regards

        Good! but, is it normal that your device shows 0 CPU and 0 frequency? Is it an appliance?

        if you find the right command send to me, I will see how to integrate in the package…

          No it' normal because I make some change in a config file on my Psense box for PowerD
          Now I revert to nomal config and CPU and frequency work again.

          If I found the code I will send it to you. (some users reports that in lcdproc they use output  ???)

            I should disable powerD and fix the code in order to show 100% on the cpu frequency in this case…

            mmhhh… here I don't understand if with one "output" command you control all the 4 leds or just one... I guess they should be indipendent, but it's not easy to understand, also I don't have the panel so I can't make some experiments...

            For example, if you add in the file "lcdproc_client.php" at line 522 (should be empty) the statement:
            $lcd_cmds[] = "output 11111111";
            or
            $lcd_cmds[] = "output 00001111";
            or various combinations of 0/1 what happens?

              Hi Michele,

              I get this after mods :

              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 11110000"; OFF    RED    RED    RED
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 00001111"; GREEN  RED    OFF    GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 11111111"; RED    ORANGE GREEN  GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 10101010"; OFF    OFF    RED    GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 01010101"; OFF    RED    OFF    GREEN

              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 1"; OFF    OFF    OFF      GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 2"; OFF    OFF    GREEN    OFF
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 3"; OFF    OFF    GREEN    GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 4"; OFF    GREEN  OFF      OFF
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 5"; OFF    GREEN  OFF      GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 6"; OFF    GREEN  GREEN    OFF
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 7"; OFF    GREEN  GREEN    GREEN
              $lcd_cmds[] = "output 8"; GREEN  OFF    OFF      OFF

              I will do some test tomorrow (I must go to work)

              Regards

                hehe! yes, I was thinking about it and suggesting to use the decimal values… you got it before me!

                so, we understood how it works... the matter now is: what do we do with this 4 green-red-orange leds?

                  great work, thanks!

                  it is possible to add the driver for the ax89063 Display?
                  It is used e.g. by NA-820 (http://axiomtek.com/products/ViewProduct.asp?view=429)

                  it would be great for me :-)

                  thanks!

                    Hello,

                    With the led's we can report the statut of Wan and Lan, 1 led can de assigned to load of the system (ON  if load  = xx) and one for CPU= xx

                    This led can be used to act as an "alarm" report status.

                    Regards

                        Hi, there are a couple of drivers around for that display, but it is not included in the LCDProc distribution. We could add it as an "external driver" like the nexcom driver.

                        Can you compile it on FreeBSD (x86)? In this case I could just add the file you send me (ax89063.so) and add the option to use it in the code…

                        Ciao,

                          yes, I agree!
                          but the number of NICs can really vary, belive me… I would use:

                          • a led for nics status (if one nic is unplugged gets red, if it's plugged gets green)
                          • a led for carp status (off=no carp, green=at least one ip in master, red=at least one ip in backup)
                          • a led for cpu (green < 50%, orange >50 && <70, red >70%)
                          • a led for what?

                            Unfortunately, I can not compile because I'ḿ to stupid to do this :-) and I have no experience in OpenBSD too :-/

                              Thanks a lot! Hope to get more users and feedback in order to pass this work from "-dev" to the production package!

                                come on, then I was stupid too till the last month, because I never did it before… :D also, I don't have that vm anymore... and, just to demonstrate how few experience I have, it is FreeBSD, not OpenBSD! (hope I did not hurt anyone with that).

                                anyway, I hope someone that reads this message after the loud laugh, maybe can get a compiled version... if not I will recreate the vm and try do to it...

                                        Ah, one thing.

                                        Yesterday I solved a problem that was dragging since a lot of time. Now when you change the program's settings or reinstall the package it is not necessary anymore to make sure the lcdproc service is stopped.
                                        In this case the service is stopped and eventually restarted.

                                        I invite all the people using lcdproc-dev to reinstall the package (I didn't create a new version, I will do it when there will be something more to update).

                                        Thanks,
                                        Michele

                                          Ok, you are right, the status of gateway could be be better ?
                                          and I understand it's not easy develo with display with no led.

                                          Another request  8)
                                          It's possible to add an option to turn OFF the backlight ? (autotimer) and should be ON if one key of LCD is pressed ?

                                            Ok, you are right, the status of gateway could be be better ?
                                            and I understand it's not easy develo with display with no led.

                                            yes… today is my last day before my "winter break", I will work on it on my return in January. Another funny thing is that the update to 2.0.1 was released today, also this will wait for my return! :D

                                            Another request  8)
                                            It's possible to add an option to turn OFF the backlight ? (autotimer) and should be ON if one key of LCD is pressed ?

                                            AFAIK it's not possible… it is possible to turn off the backlight, but not to set a "stand-by" mode...
