Dummy needs LCD tutorial,

[TK5EP]

Well, i got an answer quickly on this one, and found more infos in the archives for my level than on the other one.
I saw more posts here since one week i'm interested in PICs.

Maybe a bad guess ? But keep smiling !

> the (MeLabs) forum and support seems to be much better

Now why do you say that? Just curiosity (though it did bring a smile when I read that). At a glance, they have ten-times the amount of activity that this forum has for roughly the same number of members...

Hi Darrell,

I love the bar graph display. Can it be set up to do the following:

1. A text line showing the current temperature in deg C with 0.1 deg resolution. (Temperature data from a thermistor via a PIC a/d data channel.)

2. Several bar graph lines showing (a.) the current temp. and (b.) the temp. as recorded in the preceeding 30 second intervals; with as many bars as is practical.

3. As a new data bar is entered the oldest bar drops off.

Possible?

Absolutely Possible!

You can have as many bars as you can fit on the screen. They can come and go anytime you please.

Just remember that when you're finished with 1 particular BAR, call the BARgraph macro 1 more time with a 0 value, to clear the area that it used. It's more efficient than clearing the screen, and re-drawing everthing else. Looks better without the flicker too .

Glad you like it! Thanks!

Hi Darrell,

I too like your include and already posted a question about it, but did not get any answer.

I would like to use it with another Picbasic.

In one line you have : Remainder = R2

What is this R2 ?

Do you know if your file has been ported to other versions of Picbasic ?

Thanks,

Absolutely Possible!

You see, there are reasons why you should be using the MeLabs compiler... Darrel's magic code is one of them...
