display. The patch applied cleanly, and compiled properly. At least,
"it worked for me." :) I don't have such a display, thus I cannot test that
the driver actually works, but it at least doesn't do nasty things or break
the compile. Thanks, Nathan!
- bugfixes for display != MatrixOrb LCD
- changes the meaning of output_state
+ it's now a bitfield where evry bit corresponds to
one output
- protocol change
output on|off|value
where on = all outputs on
off = all outputs off
value = output on for all 1 bits
- changes the behavior for key presses
Keypresses are now deliverd to _all_ clients (not only
the one with the active screen)
reason: I have an client which is only active a few seconds after
an keypress
- changes the protocol so that a response is sent for every
command
reason: the client needs to communicate with the server with a
minimal latency
process LCDd now compiles and runs properly on Solaris! Additionally, he
has provided a new driver for a 16x2 LCD made by an Australian company.
I've compiled and executed this new code on a Solaris 2.6 box, and while I
don't have the display the new driver uses, LCDd tries to use it anyway,
fails (since the device isn't installed), and continues running, so this
looks solid!
Passed *every* piece of source in this project through indent. I'm setting
things up with ctags soon and am actually going to *gasp* use a nice
programming environment to continue development in. :)
