[mythtv-users] imon lcd device

[Marius Schrecker]

Hi again,

 Next problem is my Soundgraph imon LCD screen and IR receiver.

 I really wanted to avoid lirc altogether this time as the scancodes now work perfectly through the event interface (before I even installed lirc. Surprisingly, the problem is with the LCD screen, which is refusing to work.

I ended up installing lirc just to get LCDd and lcdproc, then used the cme editor to write the following file:

 ## This file was written by cme command.
## You can run 'cme edit lcdproc' to modify this file.
## You may also modify the content of this file with your favorite editor.


[server]
Driver=imonlcd
DriverPath=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lcdproc/
GoodBye="Goodbye!"
Hello="Welcome to"
Hello="mythbox!"
NextScreenKey=Right
PrevScreenKey=Left
ReportToSyslog=yes
ToggleRotateKey=Enter
User=nobody

[imonlcd]
Backlight=on
Device=/dev/lcd0
DiscMode=0
OnExit=1
Protocol=1
Size=16x2

[menu]
DownKey=Down
EnterKey=Enter
MenuKey=Escape
UpKey=Up

The usb device exists:
 lsusb | grep -i soundgraph
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. GD01 MX LCD Display/IR Receiver


as does the driver file:
# ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lcdproc/  | grep imonlcd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18944 mai   18  2015 imonlcd.so

 I tried adding device type 2 to /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_imon.conf:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_imon.conf
options lirc_imon display_type=2


 but get this when loading the module:
583.467327] lirc_imon: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[ 3583.467420] lirc_imon: unknown parameter 'display_type' ignored

I am missing the dev node, so a udev rule might be a good place to start, but is there a way to use the lcd without loading lirc?

BR.
