Dummy needs LCD tutorial,

[Dick Ivers]

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,

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