xPL-LCD + other stuff

["Frank Mc Alinden" <frankmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All
Was wondering if anyone got  around to building the xPL-LCD as yet
???

Some of you who frequent the UKHA_D list will be aware that the MSS100
device can be modded to supply +5v  via the d25 connector (pin 11) and this
can be used to power small projects connected to the mss100....I have done
this with my xPL-LCD ...;-))

Im also using the xPL-LCD  to display the current artist and current song
from Medianet.......
Im do not have the xPL-LCD listed as the osd device in Medianet  as i want
to inhibit these osd messages when im using the xPL-LCD Menus...So what i
do
is Capture the current Artist and current Song and store in a global  using
individual Determinators and then another Determinator sends an osd message
to display the current artist and song providing  im in  Menu 00..(ie not
in
a Menu....Standby Mode) ..works well ;-))

The nice thing is the Menus are created using Determinators.........xPL-LCD
only issues the Menu number and the button numbers 1 to 4....So creating
and
editing Menus is quite easy....
Im controlling CBUS lites and an Exstreamer  via the xPL-LCD .......
Just some food for thought ;-))
