Feature Requests

[Mikrotik]

Hi everyone.

IMHO, I believe that the implementation of a LCD/VFD display compatible with the Hitachi's HD44780 would be a major asset to m0n0wall.

It would be used to monitor lots of parameters without the need to login via a browser, much like the commercial product Mikrotik Router uses.

I believe that a good starting point for this could be the LCDproc project, among other.

Many thanks.

Yes, an LCD is a good idea!

I second that!

TIA,

hi guys i did something with bmon and LCD
see the picture gallery this feature (BW Monitor) can be available with at least a 48XX
or with HW that have a general porpouse i/o port.

A few modification should be done to fit the bmon to the user HW.

I would be very happy to share the bmon .

Hi again !

It seems that people at pfSense had LCD displays running well. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=4065.msg24964Are there any chances to run those binaries into m0n0wall ?

Here is an other discussion but in german..........
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2986.0.html

Is there a way to upload a binary into a m0n0 system ? And also to load addtioonal drivers and start a program at boot ?

Edit : I found this also : http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1666.0.html
