Hi all!
I just started to explore the LCDproc. I have to include a hd44780 hardware
into my quite complex linux system.
The LCD hardware is a 16x2 size hd44780 based display with winamp wiring and
4x4 keypad. Is it any official way to display custom fonts on it? I don't
want to write a new driver for the LCDd for only this reason!
I've read the documentation of the program and as I see the TCP/IP
connection would be enough for me, but I've nowhere found how can I send
custom characters to the device - but this may be my fault...
The target language is hungarian and there are a lot of non-standard ASCII
character is needed but 8 is probably enough.
Thanks for help!
Best regard:
denx
