It's a Python script. You'd need to install a Python interpreter to run it.

Re: QNAP TS-439 Pro LCD documentation available?
Cool! Thank you! I'll look into this, though with my limited programming knowledge, I might be in over my head, haha. I'm curious whether any of these debian/ubuntu based scripts could be used in conjunction with Windows' Subsystem for Linux beta...OneCD wrote:It's a Python script.

Python scripts are generally platform-agnostic (at least, the ones for general release are). So, not written specifically for Linux.
My own Python stuff will not run on Windows as I only run them on Linux units and so didn't write them for cross-platform compatibility.

looking at the serial connection in the script

oh and .. no idea what SERIAL chips QNAP sourced ... but if you are unlucky it might be the kind that windows kills

Code: Select all
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS1', 1200)

Re: QNAP TS-439 Pro LCD documentation available?
Thank you for this link! With a little bit of tinkering, I was able to take the python script by bkram (https://github.com/bkram/qnapdisplay) and adapt it to Windows by simply changing the Serial code from '/dev/ttyS1' to "COM2". Had to do a little bit more tinkering to adjust some things since I think the original script was written for Python 2. I'm a newbie at this stuff, so I'm not sure if I did it the best way. In any event, I at least now have a working script to tinker with the LCD on Windows! Thank you!dolbyman wrote:looking at the serial connection in the script

Hi Frances:QNAPFrances wrote:Hi All,
We don't plan to release these documents for x86 models in this stage.
Sorry for the inconvenient.
BR,
Frances
Would it be possible to release this LCD documentation yet? Or perhaps the python scripts you use to run the LCD? I would love to try implementing these on my Windows installation on QNAP.
