This utility knows how to push text to a Logic Controls line display device (also

known as a pole display).

It uses [rusb](https://github.com/a1ien/rusb), a safe Rust wrapper for libusb,

so it should work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, although only Linux has been

tested.

## Installation

### Cargo

* Install the rust toolchain in order to have cargo installed by following

  [this](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) guide.

* run `cargo install lcdpoled`

### Access to USB as a regular user on Linux

Your mileage may vary, but to grant myself access to the USB device as an

ordinary user on a Raspberry Pi system, I needed to create

`/etc/udev/rules.d/50-local.rules` with the following line:

```

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fa8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="a090", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"

```
