What to check if it's not working.
Hey, since a few people have trouble getting the mod to work here are some steps to try:

1. Make sure you load both the Text HUD API and HudLcd mod into your world.
2. Tag the LCD you want to display with "hudlcd" in either title or custom data.
2.5 If you are using the title it is possible that you have to update the title manually after loading in to make it work. This is apparently a bug with SE that the title looks empty to the mod until you change it manually.
3. Write some text onto the LCD Panel.
4. Sit in a cockpit that is on the same grid, so no connectors or landing gear!

If you still can't see anything then:
5. Try in a world with only the two mods from point 1

If you still have trouble feel free to comment below!

Still having issues, loaded just the text api and this mod after removing all mods so it would download them again and can not get anything to show up

Can you give me a rundown of what you did to try and get it working?

I had the same problem. The crash occours when you grind a LCD attached to the actual grid. The LCD was not tagged. If you grind down the block the LCD is attached to and grind it as floating object everything is fine. And sorry for my bad english...

Hey. I just unpacked the present and it is beautiful. Thanks again. But it works only with the tag in Custom Data for me, not in name. I disabled all mods, still the same.
