Subject: [arm-allstar] USBLCD Script

Good Morning Doug,

I was recently involved in a development project at work that used an Arduino with a 20x4 LCD display. I could not help but think how I could use this on one of my Allstar nodes. Doing some quick research, I came across your USBLCD how-to and subsequently purchased an LCD Display with a USB backpack. I actually bought a 16x2 and a 20x4 to play with. I did not see any example scripts in the how-to. Were any of the scripts used in the how-to available online for reference to get started with?

Initially, I am envisioning a simple list of connected nodes with truncated node information mimicking the Supermon table. Which node is keyed would be neat feature but future state. I have limited programming experience so I don't have a code preference. I know I have a little learning curve in front of me to do this. Using another one of your how-to's, I recently setup my home node to text me when a node other than one my own connects and that went very well so I am feeling confident.

Any get started guidance would be appreciated.
