Here is how you config the CrystalControl2 (CC2) software.
After you have installed the software and set it up to use your LCD screen. You need to add a screen so the LCD knows what to display. Click on the add new screen and start creating the screen.
You can add free form text and date and time and a bunch of other things. Here is how mine is set up.
Under the plugin list you will also see one called Text File/Internet Reader that is what you use to get the data from the text file to the LCD screen. Click on that and drag it to the spot on the LCD screen you want the data to be. You will then be presented with another screen.
Here is what mine looks like with the data filled out.
So what you do is as follows. Source type choose text file. Under Local File Name, browse for the txt file. Then click the import information button, the contents of the file should show under the Unfiltered Source information section on the right side. Then in the regular expression text box type in this expression.
(?<=[\r\n])([^=\r\n]+)=([^\r\n]*)
(?<=[\r\n])([^=\r\n]+)=([^\r\n]*)
This is the expression to read an ini file. Now press the Refresh Results button and the data should appear in the results section. Choose the data you want to display on the LCD screen and press ok. That's it. Just repeat for everything you want to see. Use more lines of the expression above if the results are not displaying enough of the ini file.
You can add as many screens as you want and have them rotate every few seconds too. The software has a lot of cool things it can do if you play around with it.
Good luck!
