Plugin volumio-hd44780 problem

MyVolumio MyVolumio Help and Support

I installed volumio-hd44780-plugin. The plugin has been installed. It can be edited. The problem is that only the inscription “WELCOM to VOLUMIO 2!” Is displayed. It does not display the name of the music file being played and there is no subtitle shifting. Installation was carried out in accordance with this description.

sudo i2cdetect -y 1

wget github.com/Saiyato/volumio-hd44 … plugin.zip
mkdir volumio-hd44780-plugin
miniunzip volumio-hd44780-plugin.zip -d volumio-hd44780-plugin
cd volumio-hd44780-plugin

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-utils
sudo apt-get install build-essential
npm install

volumio plugin install

and later

sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install python-mpd
sudo pip3 install mpdlcd

What did I do wrong? How to solve the problem. I have the volumio-2.699-2020-01-20-pi version installed. Help

Hi phtav,

Unfortunately this plugin is not supported any longer… :frowning:

I also would wish somebody with coding skills would create a plugin for HD44780

Best Regards

You can try with this driver.

I seriously doubt that some-one will take up development, for a single request in 3 years.

@Wheaten - We are already 2 :slight_smile: and i am sure some more would like it.

Maybe the seller of this wonderful glowing display has an idea ? I’ll ask him.

done so - he maybe will have a look into this the next weeks
@Saiyato - would you mind to get into this again and get in contact with Rafael ?
That would be supergreat for me as i would like to have VFDs working - ideally on I2C

Best Regards
Josef
