Hi guys..

I'm looking to add a Matrix Orbital to my case.. I looked in the web site but there are so many tyoes of displays..
I just want to display my cpu speed, temps and some simple things..
I looked at the manuals too, but seems I have to program them manually by myself... do i have to?
Is there any simpler way that I can display whats in MBM5 dashboard on the lcd display?
If somebody has one, can you please tell me briefly how I can use the lcd.. and also a good model..

Thanks guys..!

Here's soundx98's "definitive" guide to MBM5;

search is your friend!

yo yo yo! You'll love it.
I'm running a Matrix Orbital MX421 (the 4 line)

You would not believe the stuff this puppy can display
Some samples of the "Virtual display" are here.

I have it set up to go through like 25 screens so if you need a config file for a 4 line display I got your back. It may be easier to delete the ones you don't want than to config it yourself. (unless you are a nerd of course)

It runs on the MO display as well as your desktop if you want. Max nerdiness

You can still download a 30 day trial and just run it on your desktop if you wish for testing purposes. PM me with your email address. Phone too if in US or Canada. I can send you the file and you can play before you pay.

The LCDC software is $9.95 alone or with a standard display but IS included on the MX models. (go for the 4 line if you got the space.)

some pics in the Wavemaster as well http://www.uploadit.org/gallery/13844

Oh yeah, I do have it dialed into MBM5

Hi.. Thanks Blooz1..
I did have a loook at it and the file.. But I cannot understand how I can integrate MBM5 with the MX...
I read the manual of the MX, but It doesnt say anything like that..
Also there are lots of versions.. I'm interested in a character LCD display..
Anybody using one please give me some advise...
Thanks a lot guys..!

need some custom stuff as well

HI soundx98.. thanks for the reply..
I did goto that site...hmmm... didnt see anything regarding the MX....
I'm sorry to bother like this..
do I need a special plugin from the MBM5..?
Does MX need a LDCD file..?
If i have a LDCD plugin can I use it..?

hmm,
Matrix Orbital makes the LCD displays - www.matrixorbital.com
MO tech support and downloads here - www.matrixorbital.ca
But it needs software to run, LCDC offers it here - www.lcdc.cc
3rd party plug-ins are here - www.plasticrandom.com

You can't do anything without a software program, but there is a trial software as I stated. You pretty much have to customize everything. But it's far easier than it looks. I'm no brainiac by a long stretch

Feel free to ask questions in the forum or PM (keep them long and detailed as I only have 30 and the box fills up fast). May as well download the trial and muck around for a bit.

I just PMed you soundx98.. thanks a lot..!
really excited about getting the MX!!

I went to have a look at the LDCD site...
Just wondering.. is LDCD like a programming software..?
I didnt find any products like that....hmmm...
Really excited about this.. cant wait to get them..
thanks for all the help..!

should be their now.

You will need to read the manuals

Here is the setup. use MX5 example

gotta crash. pm questions and we'll sort it out.
