Does anyone know how the LPU display works.
Their are only 2 signals, a sort of clock and a reset.
I want to make a small interface to plug in de front connector op the LPU, then connect all LPU's on an I2C bus with a serial connection to a PC.
On the PC I want to display all the codes of al my LPU's with a small program.
(would be useful when restarting a system)
 
Good question.

May be, the name of the theme better be "LPU display port output to remote control" :) .
 
The output from LPU is, as you mentioned, quite simple: DCLOCK and DRESET. The clock is a step-by-step model. Reset clears (nullifies) the display. All external equipment has to be created/programmed according to this. /// is using ICM7224 circuit on LPU display for this purpose. The layout/description is easily found in IE. One good description is found at site. The second question is how you are going to know which LIM is sending? This is also possible, but then you need TEU boards connected via Ethernet to the PC, and also a program from /// (if they sell them). Maybe too expensive?
Good luck
