This section talks about using LCDproc with LCD displays that use the pylcd chipset. I've added support for the LEDs on the Pyramid LC-Display to the pylcd driver of lcdproc. Since it seems that LEDs on an LCD are not directly supported by the lcdproc API I've used the "output" command of the server to trigger the LEDs, similar to what the IOWarrior driver does. The Pyramid LC-Display exists in two different versions, with 3 and with 9 LEDs. 2 of these LEDs can not be controlled by software but are usually hard wired to power and HDD. The other 1 or 7 LEDs can now be controlled by sending an "output" command to the server. The one argument to the output command is a bitmask that controls the LEDs. bit 0: LED3 bit 1: LED4 bit 2: LED5 bit 3: LED6 bit 4: LED7 bit 5: LED8 bit 6: LED9 There's no way of finding out whether 3 or 9 LEDs are available, so it is up to the software to do the right thing. telnet localhost 13666 hello output 67 will light up LEDs 3, 4 and 9. output 0 will clear all LEDs.
