[spoiler][code]# LCDd.conf â configuration file for the LCDproc server daemon LCDd
This file contains the configuration for the LCDd server.
The format is ini-file-like. It is divided into sections that start at
markers that look like [section]. Comments are all line-based comments,
and are lines that start with â#â or â;â.
The server has a âcentralâ section named [server]. For the menu there is
a section called [menu]. Further each driver has a section which
defines how the driver acts.
The drivers are activated by specifying them in a driver= line in the
server section, like:
Driver=curses
This tells LCDd to use the curses driver.
The first driver that is loaded and is capable of output defines the
size of the display. The default driver to use is curses.
If the driver is specified using the -d command line option,
the Driver= options in the config file are ignored.
The drivers read their own options from the respective sections.

Server section with all kinds of settings for the LCDd server
[server]
Where can we find the driver modules ?
IMPORTANT: Make sure to change this setting to reflect your
specific setup! Otherwise LCDd wonât be able to find
the driver modules and will thus not be able to
function properly.
NOTE: Always place a slash as last character !
DriverPath=/home/volumio/raspdrivers/
Tells the server to load the given drivers. Multiple lines can be given.
The name of the driver is case sensitive and determines the section
where to look for further configuration options of the specific driver
as well as the name of the dynamic driver module to load at runtime.
The latter one can be changed by giving a File= directive in the
driver specific section.
The following drivers are supported:
bayrad, CFontz, CFontz633, CFontzPacket, curses, CwLnx, ea65,
EyeboxOne, g15, glcdlib, glk, hd44780, icp_a106, imon, imonlcd,

Driver=hd44780
Tells the driver to bind to the given interface
Bind=127.0.0.1
Listen on this specified port; defaults to 13666.
Port=13666
Sets the reporting level; defaults to 2 (warnings and errors only).
#ReportLevel=3
Should we report to syslog instead of stderr ? [default: no; legal: yes, no]
#ReportToSyslog=yes
User to run as. LCDd will drop its root privileges, if any,
and run as this user instead.
User=nobody
The server will stay in the foreground if set to true.
#Foreground=no
Hello message: each entry represents a display line; default: builtin
Hello=" Welcome to"
Hello=" VOLUMIO 2!"
GoodBye message: each entry represents a display line; default: builtin
GoodBye=âThanks for usingâ
GoodBye=" VOLUMIO 2!"
Sets the default time in seconds to displays a screen.
WaitTime=5
If set to no, LCDd will start with screen rotation disabled. This has the
same effect as if the ToggleRotateKey had been pressed. Rotation will start
if the ToggleRotateKey is pressed. Note that this setting does not turn off
priority sorting of screens. [default: on; legal: on, off]
#AutoRotate=no
If yes, the the serverscreen will be rotated as a usual info screen. If no,
it will be a background screen, only visible when no other screens are
active. The special value âblankâ is similar to no, but only a blank screen
is displayed. [default: on; legal: on, off, blank]
ServerScreen=no
Set master backlight setting. If set to âopenâ a client may control the
backlight for its own screens (only). [default: open; legal: off, open, on]
Backlight=open
#BacklightInvert=yes
Set master heartbeat setting. If set to âopenâ a client may control the
heartbeat for its own screens (only). [default: open; legal: off, open, on]
#Heartbeat=open
set title scrolling speed [default: 10; legal: 0-10]
#TitleSpeed=10
The ââŚKey=â lines define what the server does with keypresses that
donât go to any client. The ToggleRotateKey stops rotation of screens, while
the PrevScreenKey and NextScreenKey go back / forward one screen (even if
rotation is disabled.
Assign the key string returned by the driver to the âŚKey setting. These
are the defaults:
ToggleRotateKey=Enter
PrevScreenKey=Left
NextScreenKey=Right
#ScrollUpKey=Up
#ScrollDownKey=Down
The menu section. The menu is an internal LCDproc client.
[menu]
You can configure what keys the menu should use. Note that the MenuKey
will be reserved exclusively, the others work in shared mode.
Up to six keys are supported. The MenuKey (to enter and exit the menu), the
EnterKey (to select values) and at least one movement keys are required.
These are the default key assignments:
MenuKey=Escape
EnterKey=Enter
UpKey=Up
DownKey=Down
#LeftKey=Left
#RightKey=Right

If your display is slow and cannot keep up with the flow of data from
LCDd, garbage can appear on the LCDd. Set this delay factor to 2 or 4
to increase the delays. Default: 1.
#DelayMult=2
Some displays (e.g. vdr-wakeup) need a message from the driver to that it
is still alive. When set to a value bigger then null the character in the
upper left corner is updated every seconds. Default: 0.
#KeepAliveDisplay=0
If you experience occasional garbage on your display you can use this
option as workaround. If set to a value bigger than null it forces a
full screen refresh seconds. Default: 0.
#RefreshDisplay=5
You can reduce the inserted delays by setting this to false.
On fast PCs it is possible your LCD does not respond correctly.
Default: true.
DelayBus=true
If you have a keypad you can assign keystrings to the keys.
See documentation for used terms and how to wire it.
For example to give directly connected key 4 the string âEnterâ, use:
KeyDirect_4=Enter
For matrix keys use the X and Y coordinates of the key:
KeyMatrix_1_3=Enter

character by setting keypad_test_mode to yes and running
LCDd. LCDd will output all characters it receives.
Afterwards you can modify the settings above and set
keypad_set_mode to no again.
