Software that supports 631 display

[r00t]

Is there any software out there other than CC that supports the 631 display? Until version 2.0 comes out I need something more than what CC can offer me.

I'm using Girder:
http://www.girder.nl
and the LCD driver plugin:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/girderplugins/LCD-2.10.zip

You need version 2.10 of the LCD plugin (the
girder plugin page still points to version 2.8).

Note that this combo will allow you to use
most of the features of the 631, including the
keypad, but not including the keypad
legend. If anyone's figured out how to get
the keypad legend working, please let me
know.

ok, I installed girder and the plugin and set it up. The test screen works, but now how do I set up screens and what not?

First, make sure the LCD plugin is enabled and use the plugin
settings screen to test the interface. If that works:

1. Create a new command
2. Select the new command, and click on the plugins tab
3. Select the LCD plugin, and click on settings
4. Choose an LCD command and choose the settings.
5. Click on OK/apply.
6. Click on Learn Event and press one of the LCD buttons.
The eventstring should be something like UL_Press (for
upper-left button, LL = lower-left, etc.).

Now, whenever you press that button, whatever LCD command/
string you setup will be executed.
