A simple PCD8544 LCD (Nokia3310/5110) driver. Target board is Raspberry Pi. This driver uses 5 GPIOs on target board with a bit-bang SPI implementation (hence, may not be as fast but seems fast enough). The pcd8544_cli tool, to be compiled, allow you to display messages freely on the display. Makes use of WiringPI-library of Gordon Henderson (https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/)

This makes use of WiringPI-library of Gordon Henderson - so the WiringPI-library is required to be installed.
The PCD8544 file is a library, the pcd8544_cli is a cli-tool example, to be extended by you. Since gcc is installed on Raspberry Pi images, you can easily build them:
$ cc -o pcd8544_cli pcd8544_cli.c PCD8544.c -L/usr/local/lib -lwiringPiUsage:
pcd8544_cli [options] <text to display>Available options:
- -h: show this help on usage & options
- -i: show IP address
- -d: show datetime
Print help informations in the terminal (will reset the display)
$ sudo ./pcd8544_cli -hExample 1: Print "Foooooooooooooooooooooooooo" on the display:
$ sudo ./pcd8544_cli "Foooooooooooooooooooooooooo"Example 2: Print current IP address on the display:
$ sudo ./pcd8544_cli -iExample 3: Print current datetime on the display:
$ sudo ./pcd8544_cli -dPCD8544.c & PCD8544.h are copyright (C) 2010 Limor Fried, Adafruit Industries
