  • Clone this repo to Daisy's Pi, here: /home/pi/status-lcd.

  • Install Linux Kernel Headers.

    sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

  • Build by calling make in this directory on the Pi.

  • Add following lines to /etc/rc.local to start the status display at boot.

    # status display
/home/pi/status-lcd/prepare.sh
insmod /home/pi/status-lcd/lcd5110.ko
/home/pi/status-lcd/status.sh > /dev/lcd5110 &
echo "endlessly write the Pi's status to the Nokia5110 LCD"

    Prepare and load the driver (sudo prepare.sh, sudo insmod lcd5110.ko). Finally start the status.sh script that continuously prints the status to stdout which is forwarded to the LCD.
