LCD

[sc22]

In flowcode 5 I would call component lcd use a start macro and then printACS2 macro and write in the variable box. flowcode 6 has completely changed I do the same but in the printacs2 properties box there is no variable box to write in. Where do I write. please help or point me in the way of information for lcd in v6.

Hello,

Does the PrintString macro allow you to do what your trying to do?

[Brendan]

Yes, at the office I (we) print to LCD displays one heck of a lot.

I provide a pictorial example FYI.

The PrintAscii icon is where you declare the individual Ascii character values (which may after-all be what you actually need to do), and clicking on the icon will reveal the relevant 'Character Byte' entry field.


All the best,

Brendan

Hi
if you look at brendans example above, where it says Lcd Line 1 , if you type" Hello " then it will do what you want the speech marks are needed so flowcode knows that you want to directly print what you have typed, if you wished to display the value of a variable, then instead of using the print string you would use print number and add the variable name, or if you had a string variable to print you would use brendans example, have a go if you need more help post a flowchart stating whats going wrong and someone will help further

Hello,

In my signature are various helpful links, the Flowcode course would probably be a good starting point for you.
