Crystal is a Python server that allows control of a CrystalFontz 632 or 634 LCD screen, using simple commands. Crystal uses Ben Wilson's LCD API for Python, pyCFontz, which is distributed here under the Gnu LGPL.

This is version pre-1, so there are a lot of things that still need to be done. Only one connection at a time to the server is supported, and not all of the functions in Ben's API are available via the server just yet. It's still very functional though, and I've found it to be quite useful, even at this early stage.
