Hello, I hope this hasn't already been covered, not found this exact question though already asked. 4D Systems makes a bunch of LCD products which mainly have UART interfaces. They are not primary display interfaces, so don't take an HDMI input etc from your PC, they can be programmed to handle serial data and display it in various ways. You design the GUI yourself in their IDE and then you feed it the data you want in the known format, and make it do what you like with that data. What I am trying to find out is if there is a way to use AIDA64 to collect the data from the PC, such as CPU temperature etc, and send the data out the UART to the display. I don't want all the graphics from AIDA64, all I want is the data for the sensors. I have used AIDA64 for a while, going to a external HDMI monitor and displaying data on that, and it works, but now and then I get issues where windows decides the little monitor is the primary, or the mouse goes in there and gets stuck, and all sorts of other weird things. I also dont want it loading my GPU at all, I just want it off that whole system entirely. Is there a way to have AIDA64 export in a stream the selected Sensor data, to the serial UART? These 4D displays can handle BAUD's into the MBaud rates, so not 9600 or 115200 type levels. If there is, can you please point me in the right direction. If there is a way to get this data, I can create a demo project use a 4D Systems display, and post that up here for other people to use as a base. I have used 4D displays for years in various applications at work and around the house, we build full systems at work using their products, and it just seems the perfect application for PC Chassis builds, rather than using HDMI type solutions off the GPU. Let the display do the GUI 'heavy lifting' itself with its GPU and just feed it the data it is looking for from AIDA64. Any tips would be appreciated Regards W

Hi, it would be nice if there was the possibility to send sensor values unformatted as a number or percentage, via a serial port. Similar to the LCD displays, only without formatting, or pure numbers with separators. Together with a small GUI. Background is the simple evaluation of the data with a microcontroller and display in different ways. I imagine not only LCD or OLED, but rather seven segment display, nixi tubes or an analog pointer display. That would create a lot of possibilities.

So, I have an issue with having lots of hard drives and not being able to tell which one is which. For example, I have 12 hard drives, many are the same make and model and size. I am unable to tell which one is which looking at AIDA64 storage reports. The only uniquely identifying attribute as far as I can tell is the serial number found in the ATA report. However, this report does not tell me which logical drive this serial number is attached to. Is there a way we can add a column on the logical drive report that has the physical hard drive serial number? Or a column on the physical drive report that includes the serial number and the logical volume letter? Or maybe a new report that has the combined column fields so that the physical and logical attributes are together on one page so that the drives can be easily identified? I attached a screenshot of what I mean. Drive 1, 2, and 3 are the same, can't tell which one is which as far as which one is drive F: and which one is drive G:, etc. Samething for drives 11 and 12, 4 and 5, and so on.
