To activate the plugin you have to select "LCDHype Data Server" in the visualization plugin list. Then select the plugin menu and check the box called "Auto execute visualization plugin on play".

To use the lcd keyboard feature you have to create a electronic circuit. You can find a example circuit (LCDKeyboard.jpg) in the help directory.


How to use a lpt port who isnt in the port selection list
