Writing to the Front Panel LCD

Post by jcreasey » Thu Feb 19, 2015 11:46

Does anyone know if there is a way to send a message to the front panel from the beyonwiz command line?

I would love to be able to do that.
I'll think of a reason why later :-).

Log in to the T3's Linux command line interface, and then:

Code: Select all

echo 'Guess who?' > /dev/dbox/oled0
If you have an ssh command-line program on your PC, try:

Code: Select all

ssh beyonwizt3 "echo "Guess who?' > /dev/dbox/oled0"
on the PC.

Remember to escape shell metacharacters properly.
