I have lcdproc communicating with the display but I have random characters appearing.
Checked the cables and they are fine

Driver settings:

Code: Select all

[MtxOrb]

# Select the output device to use [default: /dev/lcd]
Device=/dev/ttyUSB0

# Set the display size [default: 20x4]
Size=20x2

# Set the display type [default: lcd; legal: lcd, lkd, vfd, vkd]
Type=lcd

# Set the initial contrast [default: 480]
Contrast=480

# Some old displays do not have an adjustable backlight but only can
# switch the backlight on/off. If you experience randomly appearing block
# characters, try setting this to false. [default: yes; legal: yes, no]
hasAdjustableBacklight=no

# Set the initial brightness [default: 1000; legal: 0 - 1000]
Brightness=1000
# Set the initial off-brightness [default: 0; legal: 0 - 1000]
# This value is used when the display is normally
# switched off in case LCDd is inactive
OffBrightness=0

# Set the communication speed [default: 19200; legal: 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200]
Speed=19200

# The following table translates from MtxOrb key letters to logical key names.
# By default no keys are mapped, meaning the keypad is not used at all.
#KeyMap_A=Left
#KeyMap_B=Right
#KeyMap_C=Up
#KeyMap_D=Down
#KeyMap_E=Enter
#KeyMap_F=Escape
# See the [menu] section for an explanation of the key mappings

# You can find out which key of your display sends which
# character by setting keypad_test_mode to yes and running
# LCDd. LCDd will output all characters it receives.
# Afterwards you can modify the settings above and set
# keypad_set_mode to no again.
keypad_test_mode=no
What could be the cause of this?
