EZIO Driver for LCDproc
-
@stephenw10 not sure how to apply it.. I am a windows guy not a *nix guy but can follow instructions easily.
Thanks

Install the lcdproc and shellcmd packages.
Do NOT enable anything in the lcdproc package in the webgui.
Create file /root/LCDd.conf
[server] DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/ Driver=hd44780 Bind=127.0.0.1 Port=13666 ReportLevel=3 ReportToSyslog=yes User=nobody Foreground=no ServerScreen=no GoodBye="Thanks for using" GoodBye=" pfSense " WaitTime=5 ToggleRotateKey=Enter PrevScreenKey=Left NextScreenKey=Right ScrollUpKey=Up ScrollDownKey=Down [menu] MenuKey=Escape EnterKey=Enter UpKey=Up DownKey=Down [hd44780] driverpath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/ ConnectionType=ezio Device=/dev/cuau1 Keypad=yes Size=16x2 KeyMatrix_4_1=Enter KeyMatrix_4_2=Up KeyMatrix_4_3=Down KeyMatrix_4_4=EscapeAdd shellcmds to start the lcdproc daemon and client:
Reboot.

@stephenw10 and how do i get it to display server uptime?
-
The U switch for the client is uptime I think. Been a while since I looked into that. If you just want uptime just remove C and T.

Has LCDproc the GUI been updated yet to support the EZIO?
If not does anyone know when it might be?
Thanks
-
Not yet. I did have a stab at it a while back but there were a few complications. It should be pretty easy to add though.

@stephenw10 Well I am a Windows guy. So someone would have tell me like a 2 year old how to do this other way. :)
-
@stephenw10 Is yet available on the GUI for LCDproc?
Thanks,
-
Sorry, not yet. I'll try to dig that code out again.

Any ideas why this didint work for me @stephenw10 did the exact same and no display on the lcd just a underscore going all around the screen
-
On the EZIO-100/300 that this covers or the G500? The G500 requires a new driver.

I’ve found a link (https://manualzz.com/doc/6673164/nar-7100-user-s-manual-v1.0) for the NAR-7100 User’s Manual. In this manual on chapter 4 – page 46 the EZIO-G400 is described. With the documented command codes, I could easily use the EZIO-G500. Maybe it helps you too.
-
The G500 is significantly different to the G400, though they are both full graphical displays.
But nice find though, only one way to find out I guess... -
Is it possible to have the ezio connection type merged so we can go through the GUI?

@MXNPD said in EZIO Driver for LCDproc:

Still waiting to see the EZIO merged in with LCDProc, its been only about a year or so...no rush. :)
-
Dammit it has!
I'll have to try and make some time... or try to get someone else more capable.
I did look at adding it a while before that but hit a few issues that looked like they also needed fixing at the same time.
I have some notes somewhere...Steve
-
Just saying I have been waiting...and I am not giving you a hard time over it, for it not working with the GUI as well as the plug-in that works for the WatchGuard firewall display. There are a lot of folks who aren't *nix buffs.
Thanks,

maybe someone can test this? i don't have a ezio lcd to try

I have a pfsense machine I need to setup which has the portwell ezio LCD on it.
Let me know the steps I need to take and i’ll post results.
