i thought i had already apt-get install make because i had done it on a previous install. my very very bad. so! make install then what? p.s im under pressure from my partner to get the screen working rofl p.s just "make" proves to be an interesting command on its own rofl root@raspbmc:/hom...

i was trying to get this to display information relating to a playing file in raspbmc, i.e file name, current playtime and total playtime. however thats a moot point at the moment as i still cant get any output. root@raspbmc:/home/pi# lcdproc -f T bash: lcdproc: command not found root@raspbmc:/home/...

okay, i installed GCC to get a compatible compiler.

but im getting no output on the lcd screen. when navigating the menus and so on it does dim down then come back but no text output.

so do i need to configure other files to tell it what to put out?

secretreeve

hi serac, i have followed your instructions installing the additional packages along the way but on the last command i get this returned root@raspbmc:/home/pi/lcdproc# ./configure --enable-drivers=hd44780 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment...

secretreeve

thanks guys, got it sorted now.

secretreeve

got my screen functional. just needs your coding now lol. so ready whenever you are and looking forward to dancing around the lounge when it finally does what its meant to rofl.

secretreeve

i downloaded pspc but when i open it it flashes open and closes again?

also, that first command doesnt make a whole lot of sence to me. can you put an example of how it should appear? because its okay with <file> <file> but what about file locations?

secretreeve

can someone please give me instructions on how to copy my music database from my desktop computer running windows 7 to my raspberry Pi's usb hdd through the network please? (i know it would be alot easier to plug usb hdd into the desktop but the desktop has issues copying to usb at the moment, its a...

got the front usb port wired in and the screen working in python. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNY8Ss5Itg&feature=youtu.be its coming together rather nicely just need to get the other ports brought and installed (rear usb, usb hub, hdmi, sd slot and ethernet) then i can work towards getting t...

well i wired in a POT to get the contrast fixed.

heres a little video of it working with a mesage to everyone who helped me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNY8Ss5 ... e=youtu.be

supposed to have "helped" in there but i seem to have missed it out lol.

you get the idea though.

hi i've got my lcd wired up like on this site http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/07/16x2-lcd-module-control-using-python/#comment-485 exception being a 3.3k resistor instead of 5600 but the contrast is to high you can only see the output from a high angle. with the contrast pin being tied into th...

secretreeve

it works!

i couldnt see anything because the contrast is all skew wiff.

going to go wack a resistor in there now and see how it gets on.

secretreeve

okay so now things have changed. i run sudo python gpio_test_3.py it sits there with a cursor for a little while then goes back to the command line. no errors, or anything, but im not getting any change on the lcd screen. import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time LCD_RS = 7 LCD_E = 8 LCD_D4 = 25 LCD_D5 = ...

secretreeve

so how do you define it? son of a.....delete the S get a new error message (s wasnt meant to be there) Traceback (most recent call last): File "gpio_test_3.py", line 103, in <module> main () File "gpio_test_3.py", line 39, in main lcd_byte(LCD_LINE1, LCD_CMD) NameError: global na...

secretreeve

as far as i can see its not.

but theres also nothing on the websites script about defining "times"

secretreeve

the only "time" is literally "import time" and the sleep times

but

Code: Select all

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

is exactly as it is on the website: http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/0 ... omment-485

so i dont see how to "define" it

secretreeve

could be a bit more helpful.

its interesting to me due to the fact i dont know how to fix it and need some help with it.

secretreeve

kool, im having issues getting some code to work to any lcdproc play for me is on hold till i get an output on this screen lol

secretreeve

thanks again. next problem is an interesting one root@raspberrypi:~# python gpio_test_3.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "gpio_test_3.py", line 97, in <module> main () File "gpio_test_3.py", line 31, in main lcd_init () File "gpio_test_3.py", line 41, in lcd_i...

secretreeve

ah so it needs to be indented a little more, which has solved that! awesome. but heres a kicker @raspberrypi:~# python gpio_test_2.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "gpio_test_2.py", line 58, in <module> GPIO.output (LCD_D4, False) RPi.GPIO.ModeNotSetException: Please set mode usi...

secretreeve

sorry, yeah i know im finding the problems, but this is part of the learning. your help is really appreciated. i didnt realise ALL the def main had to be indented like that. this part makes no sence to me File "gpio_test_2.py", line 52, in <module> lcd_byte (ord (message [i] ) ,LCD_CHR) Na...

secretreeve

i just worked that out. this is where im going to be learning the most. i've typed all this out and have made noobish errors which i need help with working out. i edited my post to show the next error message im getting. im sorry, this is going to take a while and will probably be quite a few errors...
