Description: iowlcd_amarok receives status information from amaroK and sends it to iowlircemu which then displays it on the LCD.
iowlircemu is basically a driver for LCDs based on Code Mercenaries GmbH's IO-Warrior24 starterkit.Last changelog:
* Version 0.0.2 (15-02-2006) - added support of different LCD widths (8/16/20/40 characters) - modified to use changed configuration immediately - made Tk and Tk::NumEntry optional (but still highly recommended)
Not for LCD monitors, but for alphanumerical LCD modules which can be integrated into the PC front panel or (if cabling permits) in a separate case.
Common types have 1, 2 or 4 lines and a width of 8, 16, 20 or 40 characters. Modules with or without backlight are available. Relatively new are VFDs (Vacuum Fluorescent Displays) with compatible interface.
Right! The web page in English is [http://www.codemercs.com/IOW24KIT_E.html]. You actually don't need to buy the Starterkit: if you have the skills and the time (but a tight budget), you can buy only the IO-Warrior 24 IC and build the circuit on a piece of breadboard. Very few components and just a couple of straight connections...

As in LCD Displays (Computer Monitor)?

On SuSE 9.2 I had to create a link from /usr/bin/dcop to /opt/kde3/bin/dcop prior to installing the DCOP Perl modules.
The dcop path issue has been fixed in the perl DCOP module Version 0.035.
imho it's a nice idea :) you mean this kit [http://www.codemercs.com/IOW24KIT_D.html], do you?
