    TXT LCD...Positioning Txt?

    Alan, is there a way to position the text on the TXT LCD?

    i.e. I would like to use the TXT LCD's on my FCU.

    First line, I would like to have the Vertical Speed, aligned to the right.
    Second line, Altitude, aligned to the left.

    I hope there is a simple solution

    Matt,

    This is definitely on the way in near future.
    I plan on using TextLCD for electrical panel on my overhead.
    Coming soon to a screen near you!

    I can think of all sorts of cool things to use it for

    I will look forward to the opportunity of using it that way....

    Thank you Alan.

    Matt,

    Version 2.0.6 will now allow you to specify a column for TextLCD.

    Here's what you do:

    - If you do nothing, then, by default, text will be displayed in column 1.
    - Go into ini file for TextLCD card.
    - Add line as in following example
    (watch spelling - settings are case sensitive):

    [Output 0]
    FSID=ADF_FREQUENCY
    Enabled=True
    Invert=False
    Column=12 <-----------------Column to start displaying text.
    [Output 1]
    FSID=TRANSPONDER_CODE
    Enabled=True
    Invert=False
    <-----------------Column not specified - will default to 1.

    If you inadvertantly specify a starting column greater than the total number of columns supported by your card, fs2phidget will set start column to 1 less than total number of columns. i.e. you would then see only one character on the extreme right.

    After that fantastic surprise this AM, I'm afraid to ask for anything else.....

    but

    I just ran into this... (no, I didn't get hurt ) PM FCU Altitude-Read is 3 digits, i.e. 160 for 16000

    So, for FSType: is there multiplying capability, so I can multiply the 160*10?

    You could set format to
    Format=00000
    in FSUIPC ini file.

    Matt,

    Cut and paste your PM FCU Altitude settings in your INI file.
    Want to see what FStype you're using.
    I am think of trying

    FSType=Divide
    Divisor=0.1

    Dividing by 0.1 is equivalent to multiplying by 10.

    Alan.
