This driver supports the USB to HD44780 interface module by Robin Adams IT services.

LCD4Linux communicates with the USBLCD over a kernel driver. This driver is part of the standard kernel since 2.4.20-pre7 (2.5.32). If you have an older USBLCD (Version 1.10 or 1.11) you have to download a special kernel driver from http://www.usblcd.de because the USB device ID has changed.

The USBLCD works with every HD44780 or compatible display, power for the display (and even backlight) will be supplied by USB.

Configuration:

The driver needs/supports the following entries in lcd4linux.conf:

Display: "USBLCD"
Port: usually "/dev/usb/usblcd"
Size: [columns]x[rows] of the display (e.g. "20x4")
