Text on LCD Panel

[nissl]

Hi,

I'm looking for some Tipps how to configure the LCD Panel.
As you can write what ever you like i was wondering if it isn't possible to write a 'variable' text in the Panel like the CPU Temp, FreeSpace, Uptime, Time/Date etc.

i thought it must be available as some kind of Variable to use it like this: My Nas CPU: %CORETEMP% - %TIME%

Any ideas ?

It will be a nice feature. However my as-304t does not equip a LCD panel.
Oh, I believe there are no variables available yet. It might be a good idea to create an APP for this feature.

That would be great.

To write the text on LCD panel, enter next shell command (You can do it in .sh script etc):

Code: Select all

lcmctrl -info "LINE1 TEXT" "LINE2 TEXT"

or

Code: Select all

lcmctrl -warn "LINE1 TEXT" "LINE2 TEXT"

info text displayed approx 10 secomds, warn text appears permamnt.
max text length for each line is 16 symbols.

Do you have an idea how to implement it with the mentioned variables. I'd like to show %NAS name% - %USEDSPACE% - %CPUTMP%.

Thanks

Here's some examples..

For hostname:

Code: Select all

lcmctrl -info "$(hostname)"

For disk usage:

Code: Select all

lcmctrl -info "$(df -h|grep '/volume1$'|awk '{print $3"/"$2}')"

For available disk space:

Code: Select all

lcmctrl -info "$(df -h|grep '/volume1$'|awk '{print $4}')"

I'll leave it up to you how to use them ...

Here's another one that calculates the average of your 2 CPU core temperatures and gives you the value in Celcius:

Code: Select all

lcmctrl -info "$(cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp*_input | awk '{ sum += $1; n++ } END { if
 (n > 0) print sum / n / 1000"C"; }')"

You can test their output by replacing "lcmctrl -info" with "echo".
