About LCDC

LCDC is an application that displays information on your LCD or VFD screen. At present it is geared towards powering the Matrix Orbital products as these have some great features like GPO (General purpose outputs, that can be use to turn things on and off!) and Keypad connectivity.The number of things that LCDC can do is expandable by Plugins that add functionality to the application and hopefully new plugins will be added at various intervals to add even more functionality. Also the Delphi 5 source code for a blank plugin is available, so for the brave of heart you can add and write your own plugins!

Availablility

LCDC is available to purchase separately from the main LCDC website. LCDC also comes bundled (free) with the current Matrix Orbital MX kits (MX2, MX3, MX4 and MX5)
