Lcdproc display each letter 2x times

[BlazejosP]

When I use Lcdproc in XigmanNAS I have a strange behaviour.

I using LPT 16x2 hd44780

I wired my display compatible with hd44780 by LPT cable I tested two types of wiring

• 8bit "lcdtime"
• winamp

On both wiring display works correctly but display each letter two times what creating strange look .

For example if display text "LCDPROC" that we have "LLCCDDPPRROOCC"
or enather example "xigmanas" is displayd as "xxiiggmmaannaass"
I checked conections and looks like that is rather an software problem than in hardware. To be certain I plan also rewiring to 4bit connection and check if we will have the same.

So after testing only 4bit connection working without problems and correct displayed characters on screen

Conclusion

• 4bit LPT connection working without issues
• 8bit LPT "LCDtime" characters displayed 2x
• 8bit LPT "winamp" characters displayed 2x

After mentioning this issue on XigmaNAS forum https://www.xigmanas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1129 I receive answer that they will wait on some form of checking this from side of LCDproc community because they have suspicion that ma be a driver problem for 8bit LPT connections
