LCDSmartie and more than 1 display

Post by mib »

I'm using lcd smartie VS 5.4 together with 3 pieces of LCD2USB displays.
The problem is that only one works with Lcdsmartie. The rest display only "lcd2usb V1.08' and nothing else.
Is it possible to use all 3 of them together wit lcdsmartie??

You have to run 1 instance of Smartie for each LCD that you want to use. I don't know if it's possible to use more than 1 of the same type of USB connected LCD - it might get confused as to which display is which if they are all the same.

For displays that emulate a serial port, you can just set each display to a different port and then each copy of Smartie can address its own display.

with USB2LCD+ each lcdsmartie instance can be set to use a unique screen (each screen has a programmable ID)

Still doesn't work as I want. Only few times I was able to run both displays.
I don't know why.
Any more solutions for that??
I tries to:
-change usb ports with or witout hub
-different locations for lcdsmartie
