💖 NAME 💖

Config::Model::models::LCDd::glcd — it's the configuration class LCDd::glcd, bestie. Yeah, it's one of those Config::Model model pages, auto-generated from LCDd.conf. Sit with me, we're gonna go through every single knob. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

These are the configuration classes used by Config::Model, okay?

And like — it's generated from LCDd.conf. So it's giving ✨machine-made but still cute✨.

🌈 Elements 🌈

Every element, in order, no skips. Buckle up, it's a long list but we're doing it. 💅

⭐ Brightness ⭐

Sets the brightness of the backlight if the backlight is switched 'on'.

Optional. Type integer.

Upstream default value is literally:

800

⭐ CellSize ⭐

Width and height of a character cell in pixels. Heads up: this value is only used if the driver has been compiled with FreeType and it's enabled. Otherwise the default 6x8 cell is used, periodt.

Optional. Type uniline.

Upstream default value:

12x16

⭐ ConnectionType ⭐

Picks what type of connection you want. Go see the documentation for the types, iykyk.

Optional. Type uniline.

Default value:

t6963

⭐ Contrast ⭐

Sets the initial contrast, but only if it's supported by the connection type. So lowkey conditional. 🙈

Optional. Type integer.

Upstream default value:

600

⭐ KeyMap_A ⭐

Assigns key strings to keys. There may be up to 16 keys, numbered 'A' to 'Z'. By default, keys 'A' to 'F' are assigned Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter, Escape.

Optional. Type uniline.

Default value:

Up

⭐ KeyMap_B ⭐

Optional. Type uniline.

Default value:

Down

⭐ KeyMap_C ⭐

Optional. Type uniline.

Default value:

Enter

⭐ KeyMap_D ⭐

Optional. Type uniline.

Default value:

Escape

⭐ KeyRepeatDelay ⭐

Time in ms from the first key report to the first repeat. Set it to 0 to disable repeated key reports entirely.

Optional. Type integer.

Upstream default value:

500

⭐ KeyRepeatInterval ⭐

Time in ms between repeated key reports. Ignored if KeyRepeatDelay is disabled (set to zero). So don't come crying to this option when nothing happens, it's literally off. 💀

Optional. Type integer.

Upstream default value:

300

⭐ OffBrightness ⭐

Sets the brightness of the backlight if the backlight is switched 'off'. Set this to zero to completely turn the backlight off.

Optional. Type uniline.

Upstream default value:

0x378

⭐ Size ⭐

Width and height of the display in pixels. The supported sizes may depend on the ConnectionType, so vibe check accordingly. Legal values: 1x1-640x480.

Optional. Type uniline.

Upstream default value:

128x64

⭐ bidirectional ⭐

Uses the LPT port in bi-directional mode. This should work on most LPT ports and it's required for proper timing! Like, actually required, bestie. 🔥

Optional. Type boolean.

Upstream default value:

yes

⭐ delayBus ⭐

Inserts additional delays into reads / writes.

Optional. Type boolean.

Upstream default value:

Upstream default value:

yes

Upstream default value:

no

⭐ picolcdgfx_KeyTimeout ⭐

--- picolcdgfx options --- Time in ms for usb_read to wait on a key press.

Optional. Type integer.
