output to an lcd

[Kodiak]

I want to build a plugin that outputs track, time, etc as well as a simple bar graph visual to an lcd (http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/index-usb.html). The lcd end is no problem, but i'm not sure what the easiest way to start this would be.. is there something similiar out there that's already been made? I am proficient in C/C++ so it's not a matter of how to write the code, more a matter of the easiest way to go about doing it. (i'm assuming i should use the QCDVisuals project.

/shrug.. any input would be appreciated.

shrug.. any input would be appreciated.
i just had a look at the link you posted there
cool man i would so be into one of these
i,however,have no idea how to assist you in achieving this (i can't even spell c++) :skull:

You could also implement this as a DSP plugin. The only advantage of doing it this way is that you could still use one of QCD's visuals (for moniter viewing when the LCD is not as convenient).

No more suggestions?

I'd go with a visual project since you can get the audio data needed for visuals and still use the ops to output track info.

So, did you manage to build up a working Plug-in?
