Hi,
I have been poring over your product manuals and pages, as well as doing some searching, but can't seem to find any information about this.
I would like to use the SCAB for fan control and thermal sensing in a home server build. Since I will not be looking at it much (if at all), installing an LCD is pointless visually. But I can't seem to see a way for the SCAB to interface with the host system without the 631 or 635 LCD modules (which, to my understanding, have a USB interface, which is lacking on the SCAB).
Would it be possible to provide input from the host to the SCAB via the GPIO pins? Or perhaps there is a way to rewire the 16-pin connection to a USB connection so as to connect the SCAB directly to the host?
I can't find such an adapter cable in the accessories page, so I'm assuming it is not supported or doesn't exist yet. But if someone has managed to pull this off, a few pictures of your SCAB setup will be very much appreciated. If a custom solution is available, then all the better!
As far as possible I would like to avoid buying an LCD module just to provide a host connection, but if it really is unavoidable then I guess it can't be helped.
