LCD Smartie

Wrote a plugin to do 2x2 numbers instead of 1x2 numbers.

Here is what they would look like:

Regular:

$dll(bignum2,1,1,1234567890)
$dll(bignum2,1,2,1234567890)

Bold:

$dll(bignum2,1,1#2,1234567890)
$dll(bignum2,1,2#2,1234567890)

Link to plugin:

http://home.fast351.com:4141/bignum2.dll

Usage:

$dll(bignum2,n,l#f,text)

n = function number, should always be 1
l = line number (1 or 2 only)
f = font (optional) 1=regular 2=bold
text = number you wish to convert

does colon : and - sign too.

ETA: the simulated display above is a 2x20 display.

Hey
Fast351

Am i missing something?
I just tried your examples and I don't get the numbers

I'm getting a bunch of custom characters but not the numbers..
If I replace the bignum2 with bignum the other dll gives result but bignum2 seems to give me a lot of custom characters without any sense!

It doesn't work on the onscreen display. It uses custom characters to do the display.

I am working on making the on screen display behave more like an LCD, I might have something on that tonight.

After a very long period supporting LCD Smartie...
I believe that I'm well awared on the limitations of custom characters

The lines below (must get the number 8)
$dll(bignum2,1,1#2,8)
$dll(bignum2,1,2#2,8)
giving this

This ain't an 8!

Can you check it please?

Hmmm, what display is that?

I have tried serial MO LK202 and 4x20 parallel HD 44780
both with no success!

Try it now. We HAVE to get rid of the stupid character sequence internally for custom characters. *groan*

Congs Mike! the bug is fixed!


One more thing when I set the two lines to give me back 10 BIG characters the lower line is scrolling....
Maybe a blank character is hiding somewhere...

I hate to bring up this old thread, but does anyone have the dll file to upload? The link in the first post have gone dead.

Here you go...

Thanks!
