You need to install terminal emulator on android, open it, and enter the command in my post above.
Then take a screenshot of the output and post it.

You need to use this vfd.conf file:

28

ok, I have to copy everything to a text document, and change its name to vfd.conf,
and put on the sd card, or create a new file with the configuration name and put this configuration file there.
thank you

29

I am asking for a translation more clearly, I am not very good at it, thank you

30

Everything is explained here.

Save the link I posted as a file, don’t copy-paste it.

31

ok, check back when I get back from work, thank you

32

sorry,unfortunately it doesn’t work

Reboot your box, and then run the following command in CoreELEC and paste the output:
dmesg | paste
and
systemctl status openvfd | paste

34

I don’t understand where to type it

Use an ssh client on Windows.
Windows 10 already has built-in SSH client

Example below of starting an ssh session on a box with the ip 192.168.8.164 on my network…

ssh root@192.168.8.164

I have already done three tests on different settingstest3.txt (76.7 KB) test2.txt (92.5 KB) Nowy dokument tekstowy.txt (822 Bytes)

  1. Copy the vfd.conf to /storage/.config on your device.
  2. Install OpenVFD Service via the CoreELEC repository in Kodi.

Read the instructions until you understand them.

the problem is that I did everything exactly yesterday and it still doesn’t work.
something is wrong but where?

42

Don’t answer as in chat, you can edit your message to add some info.
From your pictures you placed vfd.conf in /flash, but it should be placed in /storage/.config
You could also find this directory via smb share
\IP_of_your_box\Configfiles

I have a box Qintex Q912. From Android dtb
hbs658 {
compatible = “amlogic, hbs658”;
dev_name = “hbs658”;
status = “okay”;
gpio-scl = <0x24 0x4c 0x0>;
gpio-sda = <0x24 0x4b 0x0>;
};
I tried this configuration https://github.com/arthur-liberman/vfd-configurations/blob/master/m9-pro-u2c-x-u5x-s-vfd.conf
Unfortunately it did not work. Could you help?

44

According to the DTB, m9-pro-u2c-x-u5x-s-vfd.conf should work for your box.
What didn’t work exactly? The display remained off or displayed garbage?
If it was completely off, reboot and run
dmesg | paste
and
systemctl status openvfd | paste
