$Chr() display/find helper

[fishthecat]

My LCD displays a number of Japanese characters as well as englaish ones.
eg $Chr(219) is an empty square. As customchars are limited, finding useful Japanese ones like 219 would be very helpful as I can use then instead of a customchar.
I don't have a data sheet for my LCD so I have to manually type in the $Chr() values one after another and hit Apply, slowly cycling through them.

Could someone make a plugin which allows us to click an arrow to go up and down through the numbers and then displays the character on the LCD? Then people can quickly find all the in-build characters on their LCDs.

Maybe it could display something like: "Char#123 $Chr(123)"

You mean an application with some up/down control and a plugin for direct send the command to lcd?

I have already made a similar application for personal use.
I will modified next days and upload it!

I have a plugin at home, that is Char counter? Returns a counter from 1 to 255 but this don?t have a button support!

For example

1 - $Char(1)
.
45 - $Char(45)
46 - $Char(46)
47 - $Char(47)
.
.
.
255 - $Char(255)

Do you want?

Great, but how do I work out the chr number from that table?

[hejmowski]

1. Run calc.exe
2. Change mode to binary
3. Type four numbers from top of table in column that you choice to calc
4. Type four numbers from left of table in row that you choice
5. Change mode to decimal
6. It's your charcode

If you don't understand look here: http://hejmowski.ovh.org/chars_sample.png. It's self-explanatory

Now that I can see what characters my LCD has in it, and can work out the Chr number, I don't really need this plugin.
I don't know if it'd still be useful for others, maybe people with non-standard LCD/VFDs?

Another solution is just to dump all the possible options in one long line and let it scroll till you see what you want.

Code: Select all

Sorry about the formating.. Wanted to make it easy to copy and paste.

Ha ha ha! That's brilliant. I can use that on any LCD/VFD now and pick out the useful extra characters. Thanks.
