Looks great! You have enhanced your stuff a lot.

I need to get back to playing with my displays again and try out your later versions of the library. I have been playing with other projects and would like to get back to this soon. I see that I have not updated my thread up on Lynxmotion for quite awhile: (http://www.lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7422&start=124).

When I get a chance to continue my play on this, I need to decide if I should continue to do my own work or try to convert over to your library. Obviously yours is far more advanced.

The main issue that I had before was that the code was that controls like buttons was that when the user presses on the button, the code would hang in the button code until the user releases the button, which for a lot of things is fine. But in my case, I am experimenting with a new version of my DIY remote control that uses an XBee to talk to one of my robots, and there are other devices to get data from, such as Joysticks, or buttons, or Nunchucks.... I use a handshake between the robot and the control, that when the robot sends a request for data, the remote needs to respond as quickly as possible. Also there are times when the robot may want to know when a button is pressed and when it is released. Example maybe a button on the displays is used to say fire the cannon and the user wants the cannon to keep firing until the user releases the button. Likewise I was playing with rudimentary slider controls, that for example one may be used to control the height of the robot. The user often will click on the slider and start to drag it up or down and watch the robot adjust its height and when the robot is at the correct height, the user releases the slider...

So I need to figure out if your library can handle this. Probably can figure this out by looking at a more recent copy of your stuff. But would appreciate any hints.

Thanks again for your great work

You're welcome

I haven't changed the behaviour of the button.

However, getting rid of the de-bouncing feature shouldn't be difficult. I'll give a try.

Stay tuned

I gave a look: I altered 2 lines of code and added 1 line of code.

Just download the latest release 29 from the repository and have a look at the instant_main example:

Now, to use a button with no-debouncing, just write

The true parameter goes rid of the de-bounced behaviour.

For the normal de-bounced behaviour, use one of the following


Enjoy

This new release brings a new graphic Histogram.



Histogram features peak memory, horizontal and vertical grid, and many more options!

Have you managed to make the SD card on this unit to work?

Yes, FAT16 only.

write/append strings
read strings

copy-save/read-paste screen

Nice! Great work!

What is the speed you can write to the card? (including the 115200 bps limit from chipKit serial) And what buffer size before flush or write does it have?

I might buy one if it works for my dashboard application.

LE: would your library work with the 4.3" one or is it size dependant? I saw you were workin on it.
LE2: also, would I need a 3.3-5V logic converter to use with chipkit?

Thanks, have a nice day!
Stefan.

You're welcome!


I haven't tested the speed of the SD-card writing/reading yet.

For buffer size, please refer to the [url=PICASO-SGC-COMMANDS-SIS-rev10.pdf]PICASO-SGC Command Set — Software Interface Specification[/url].


My library is now size-independent.

I use it with the uOLED166, the uLCD32 and the uLCD43 with the same program. See the pictures at Example: Same Code, Three Screens.


No, just connect +5V, ground, RX and TX. Please refer to my tutorials.

There is a whole section of my website devoted to the 4D screens and my library.

Congrats!



I totally missed the small section on chipKit connections on your site. Thanks!

New release Feb 01, 2012 includes specific formatting function ttoa to display time. Parameters is in ms and the string returned selects the right unit —ms, s, mn or h— automatically.

Each .h / .cpp file has now its own numbering for easier management. Release control is performed as a pre-processor instruction:



So as at today, latest releases are:

• Serial_LCD Jan 28, 2012 release 119 - colours constants e.g. redColour
• proxySerial Feb 01, 2012 release 106 - ttoa used
• Graphics Feb 01, 2012 release 106 — ttoa time to string added
• button / GUI Jan 28, 2012 release 108 - new index

As always, documentations, examples, downloads and tutorials are available here.
