LCD Rolling Odometer Effect

Not quite done yet, the hour digits don't yet rotate, but you can't tell that in the video.
The project is just an internet retrieved time display for another internet enabled project.

What would I do if I didn't have you guys to give me ideas to play with.

I know you don't need help Art, so don't look at the code till you're done.

Thanks.

Haha, very well done Darrel, I love the video of the simulation,
and the 23:59:50 test button
I promise I'll only look when I'm done!

Hi,Darrel

What do I Win ???

CheckRunSW:

'   IF RUNstat != RUN_SW THEN

    IF RUNstat = RUN_SW THEN
        IF !RUN_SW THEN 
            Gosub StartTimer ' Start the Elapsed Timer
        ELSE
            GOSUB StopTimer  ' Stop the Elapsed Timer
        ENDIF
        RUNstat = RUN_SW
    ENDIF
RETURN

Clock better starts and stop like that ...

nice toy ...

Well nowhere near as neat and formatted, but I got it done.
Lead zero blanking for the first digit, and 12 hour time so the least significant hour digit
has to roll from "2" back to "1" at one O'clock.

PS, any space saving tips would be very welcome, but it still has to work the way it does.

I try to adapt the code of Mr. Taylor (WOW ! How nice example of PBP power !) to my actual hardware (old project...he,he). I just modify the part of "define LCD" but I have this message...What I do wrong ?

I made this :
'wsave3 var byte $1A0 SYSTEM ' location for W if in bank3
in ASM_INTS.bas, and the message has dissapear. It's correct ?


Offfff.... Simple schematic, simple code, zero results for me ...

Hi fratello,

The 628A doesn't have any G.P. RAM in bank3.

In the ASM_INTS.bas file, comment out the wsave3 line.

So
"I made this :
'wsave3 var byte $1A0 SYSTEM ' location for W if in bank3 "
it's correct !!!
And my error was :
TRISB= %00001111
instead
TRISB= %00000111
So simple ! Now code work fine ! Thanks again !
PS : PBP it's uncharitable with dummy like me , no ?!

I thought I'd better post this since the other video is to be deleted,
and the link will be broken.

Anyone up for horizontal scrolling? It would be more of a challenge I think
since you'd naturally use a two dimensional array for the custom character
buffer, but you'd have to work a different way with PicBasic.
