Thanks, don't know where you said that before.

But it helped me now, DPF now working
with help of your answer
although still same errormezz.

thanks again for your effort

Now over to customize DPF for my wishes
 
I'm so glad that you helped me @ryzhov_al, Thanks again.

Do you have any idea to present temperature ???
-"unable to autodetect i2c sensors", have tried different (other) approaches unsuccessfully

Could you please share your lcd4linux.conf, can't get text, variables and bar on same row as in your video.

My 1:st prio is now continuing struggling with coworking PDF - Huawei dongle and "sleep"adjusting :)

BR & TIA

Add a cron job to write Wi-Fi PHY temp to file once per minute. It will be read from lcd4linux.conf later:
Code:
# cat /opt/etc/cron.1min/temp.sh
#!/bin/sh

TEMP_24_GHZ=$(($(/usr/sbin/wl -i eth1 phy_tempsense | awk "{print \$1}") /2 + 20))

echo $TEMP_24_GHZ > /tmp/temp24.txt
You can find details about reading PHY temp here.

Here we go.

Not sure it can be done without recompiling firmware.

I bought cheap 1.5" LCD key-chain photo frame and made a display for my router.



Tested on RT-N14 (linux 3.4, Padavan's firmware) and RT-N66U (linux 2.6, asuswrt-merlin). All necessary stuff can be found here.

I actually thought of using a USB based NMEA GPS to set the blasted clock in the Asus routers.. but having a small display... is useful.. Cool implementation..

On my STB I also have L4L on a cheap 7" tablet, there I have several red/green dot's indicating internet status in different parts. My ISP's gwy, router, "countryhub" and so on.....

Would love to have one dot on this tiny DPF to, but I'm clueless.
Does anyone have an idea, howto solv ??
? perhaps textfile with boolean digit, but what linux cmd ?
