Hi Folks
I have built a replica keyboard modelled after the unit in the AH64.
It uses a 20X1 LCD Display ( Make - Crystalfontz, Model CFAH2001B-TMI-ET, Revision B0 )
The display is driven by an Arduino Nano and the key buttons are driven through a Leo Bodinar 64 Button board
I have managed to get the basic " Hello World " sketch working fine on the display but I need a bit of help with introducing the display reference code from the dcs bios reference document.
My Basic Arduino Code is as below, which is producing the " hello world " and the counter code directly after the wording, that is working perfectly!
Due to the fact that I am driving all the letter and number buttons on the keyboard via the Leo Bodinar board as a HID, I don't believe I need any other code from the DCS-BIOS reference other than the code for the display itself which is listed at the bottom of the page.
I have attempted this myself and let me be clear " I am obviously not, code smart enough yet, but I am learning
If someone could assist me with fitting the display code into my current working code, I would be eternally grateful
Regards
Martin
BASIC WORKING CODE
#define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL
// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include "DcsBios.h"
// initialize the library by associating any needed LCD interface pin
// with the arduino pin number it is connected to
const int rs = 2, en = 3, d4 = 8, d5 = 9, d6 = 10, d7 = 13;
LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(20, 1);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print("hello, world!");
}
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(15, 1);
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis() / 1000);
DcsBios::loop();
}
MPORTED DCS-BIOS DISPLAY CODE
void onPltKuDisplayChange(char* newValue) {
/* your code here */
}
DcsBios::StringBuffer<22> pltKuDisplayBuffer(AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A, onPltKuDisplayChange);
