OFFICIAL Logitech G15, mods and LCD stuff.

Lets make this the official post for Logitech-related mods and LCD hacks.

I know there is a SDK for the LCD. Can someone post that to kick off this thread?

I am temporarily hosting the SDK on my website for everyone on hardforums.

You can get it here

Didn't the SDK come with the software on the CD? I haven't had time to go through my cd yet.

yeah, the SDK is with the Software, but uncompiled. I have been playing with the SourceForge Dev C++ compiler, but don't know much of anything about it...so I haven't gotten a successful compile yet.

Anyone wanna compile and host up the EZ_LCD_Wrapper.exe result so we can all play with it?

Here is another mirror

I posted it for people who might not own the keyboard but would want to mess with the code.

bump, lets keep this to the fore front and get more programmers involved. We may want to link this in the programming thread too. Just a thought.

I wonder if we can somehow make the LCD emulate as any other USB LCD? You know, so we can use LCD programs that already exist, like LCD Studio, CrystalControl, jaLCDs, LCD SMartie, etc....

Thats what the profiler does. they left it open for people to make applets for the profiler, these apples can give users even more control over the LCD. ie like someone can make an applet that alows for user input of windows proframance monitor stuff. or thay can just hard code the applet as they did with the demo one. it's relly quite open, but programs need to be made for it...

I guess one of the LCD program folks can take there LCD program and put a hook in for the profller...

man, all i want is for this baby to read my temps from mbm5.

i will be a happy man.

I want it to show in-game HUD stuff.

Kind of defeats the purpose of a HUD then, huh? Looking down at your keyboard, away from the action

So I'll call it a HDD. Heads Down Display.

Maybe we can have it show FPS or something?

A clock would be nice, but it's probably already there by default. I really cant think of any use for the LCD.

Putting a HUD is a good idea because that gives you way more screen space for the actual game. So long as you can get the HUD off the screen. For example, i noticed the HUD in DoD:S was rather large and bulky. Doesn't screw my up so no big deal though.

i think a really cool thing to have is a Download monitor. One that could use bitlord (torrent client i use) and the basic windows dl manager.

other ideas:

- obviously messenger service without minimizing the game.
- notification of replies from posts/threads/PM's on a forum and displays topic name too.
- bank account balance that updates every so often (this one's a long shot)
- notification when favorite webcomic is updated *cough*ctrl-alt-del*cough*
- FAH stats
- cool EQ visualizations

just a few.

I looked at the SDK and have no clue on how to even get started on this. I would LOVE to be able to interface with the Shuttle temp and fan control program.

Anyone want to put up a small tutorial other than the "compile and run" that is in the readme?

How about so that the LCD displays CPU & GPU temps, FPS, CPU and RAM usage all ingame! That would fuckin rock my world!

how about,
-stock ticker
-weather by zip code

OMG I actually understand a lot of what is going on in those sample programs. w00t programming class is starting to pay off

be cool to have it show how much damage you did to an enemy.
