DCS-Bios 7 Segment issue

[Regnad517]

Yup, me again. Believe it or not I have done quite a bit on my own without asking for help. Anyway, here is my current issue. Working with TM1637 7 segment display. Using Digital clock from a10c as my test but keep getting an error.

 

Here is an example of quick test code that works as far as general display

 

#include <TM1637Display.h>

 

const int CLK = 2; //Set the CLK pin connection to the display

const int DIO = 3; //Set the DIO pin connection to the display

 

int numDisplay = 60; //Variable to interate

 

TM1637Display display(CLK, DIO); //set up the 4-Digit Display.

 

void setup()

{

display.setBrightness(0x0a); //set the diplay to maximum brightness

display.showNumberDec(numDisplay); //Display the Variable value;

}

 

void loop()

{

}

 

Now I tried to modify it a bit for use in DCS-Bios like this

 

#include <TM1637Display.h>

#define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL

#include "DcsBios.h"

 

const int CLK = 2; //Set the CLK pin connection to the display

const int DIO = 3; //Set the DIO pin connection to the display

 

TM1637Display display(CLK, DIO); //set up the 4-Digit Display.

 

void onClockHhChange(char* newValue)

{

display.showNumberDec(newValue);

}

DcsBios::StringBuffer<2> clockHhBuffer(0x10fe, onClockHhChange);

 

void setup()

{

DcsBios::setup();

display.setBrightness(0x0a); //set the diplay to maximum brightness

}

 

void loop()

{

DcsBios::loop();

}

 

I am getting an invalid argument from int to char when it tries to compile. I will be the first to admit I might be getting in over my head a bit with this one but have read many times, if arduino can control it, so can dcs bios.

 

Any help out there? Thanks

give me your mail i will send you Librarry . You can use 4-6 displays from robotdyn

8 digits , have different chip on it and its not work with this librarry

[Regnad517]

Thank you so much for the sample code Ganeshka, I see what I was doing wrong simply from that!

 

I can't wait to actually start putting this all together and posting some pics!

From this:

 

display.showNumberDec(newValue);

 

newValue is understood as an integer, but your function returns a char type.

 

So if you would need to convert. Usually writting something like :

 

display.showNumberDec(newValue[0]);

 

you would indicate that you want the char value of this integer.

 

My 2 cents

My 2 cents

 

newValue[0] is the first character of that string. If you pass that to a function that expects a number, it will just display the ASCII value of that character.

 

If you use the "print" function (which expects to deal with characters) instead of "showNumberDec", it should behave correctly, including blanking the display when there is a space (IIRC the display is blank when there is no electrical power available).

I see, thanks for pointing it out Ian.
