[SOLVED] How to use LCDProc plugin?

[warheat1990]

I have a box that runs OPNSense which has LCD with 4 buttons (up/down/enter/esc button) which is very common but how do I use the plugin? I've installed it but I can't find LCDd-sdeclcd.conf inside /usr/local/etc/. Do I have to create the file myself? I believe in pfSense, it has GUI under the Services menu.



UPDATE: For anyone who are interested. After installing the LCDProc plugin, I do have the LCDd-sdeclcd.conf inside /usr/local/etc/ (I was lazy and use the "find" command and I mistype the word, hence I can't find it), so you just need to modify the LCDd-sdeclcd.conf file, settings may vary based on your hardware, but for me the conf file content was
