Python script to indicate building on lcdproc connected display

lcdd-build-notify

lcdd-build-notify is a very simple python3 script used to indicate that building is in progress.

It uses forking mechanism, so first time you run this script->shows message on LCD->second time->removes message.

Installation

• Install pylcdd library:

  $ pip3 install pylcddc

• Configure connection to you LCDd server inside script:

  SERVER_ADDRESS = str('localhost')
  SERVER_PORT = int('13666')

  In most cases, localhost with 13666 will be enough.
• Copy your script somewhere inside your PATH. I recommend /usr/local/bin:

  $ cp lcdd_build_notify.py /usr/local/bin

Configuration

Depends on IDE you use. You must invoke lcdd-build-notify.py before your build starts and after it finishes. In Qt Creator, you can add custom build steps in Projects->Building->Build steps.
