Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

I would like to start a topic about project LCD4Linux (link: 1), which is about connecting and displaying informations on a small (or big) additional LCD devices (ex. kaychains on st2205 chip) plugged into a linux-based device (DNS-323) via USB port.
This is a 2 step task: first - we need to hack a LCD to force it to display a live information, and second - we need to install a script which provide such information.
For a LCD hack we need a linux system to compile PicFrame (link: 2) sources and apply a hack to specified device. The USB port must be working properly on NAS to discover a connected device. Other part is to make it work (and here my trouble starts) becouse from this point I have only a description how to do it on a OpenWrt environment. I don't know how to do it on DNS-323, I've tried to do it via Optware lcd4linux aplication but it seems not working at all. Probably the paths or script's must be adjusted to a specified system.
Does anybody tried to run LCD4Linux on DNS-323 or have suggestions how to make it work?

Hmm, looking at this makes me wonder how hard it would be to do a software driver that generates a png of what the display would look like, so it could be embedded directly in a web page.
Makes me wish I had the time to play with it.
