Send text via command line

[hycn]

Hi all,

I would like to have in place something that is rather simple to my eyes, but couldnt find a "plug and play" solution yet.
An LCD Matrix, connected to USB (no extra power cable), to which I can send what to display via command line.
Example : "software.exe -text hello world!" and the LCD would display "hello world!" and scroll it (for example, default display config).

Is this something that LCD Smartie can do ? is there a plugin that would help to do that ? is there a possibility to write a plugin to do that (if so, I can find someone to try to help).
What would be a good and cheap LCD matrix to do such "simple" task and be compatible with LCD Smartie ?

Thanks for your help !

You could maybe use the $File function which is in the misc. tab in the LCDSmartie setup.

As for what kind of LCD Matrix not sure I know what you mean. There are a few LCD displays with a usb connection (google?). You could make your own with an Arduino (I have one like that). Or how about https://www.adafruit.com/product/782
