How do i launch a object in the new cog? check out this code

grasshopper

Whats wrong with the code it wont launch the lcd.init

{

  Update Example


}
con

  slow          = 60_000_000    'Led flashing speed slow
  fast          = 2_000_000     'Led flashing speed fast
  On            = 1
  Off           = 0
  LEDPIN        = 20            'Led Pin
        
Var

  Long Stack[noparse][[/noparse]32]


obj

  lcd   :"LCDdriver"
  fs    : "floatString"
  
PUB start (Info,Mode,Time) : success

  dira[noparse][[/noparse]pin]~~
  lcd.init
  lcd.cls
  
  Success := Cognew(Display(Info,Mode,Time),@stack)


Pub Dispaly (Info,Mode,Time)
  
  Fs. SetPrecision(4)  
  If (Mode == 0)                       
      lcd.pos(1,1)
      lcd.writestr(@screen)
      lcd.writestr(fs.Floattostring(Info))
      lcd.pos(2,1)
      lcd.writestr(@screen1)
      waitcnt(Time + cnt)
      lcd.cls
      
  If (Mode == 10)    
      lcd.cls
      lcd.pos(1,1)
      lcd.writestr(@Flashscreen1)
      lcd.pos(2,1)
      lcd.writestr(@flashscreen2)
      pause_it(5,factor1)
      waitcnt(Time + cnt)  
      lcd.cls
      
    
DAT

  screen1                       byte    "Top of",eos
  screen2                       byte    "Value = ",eos
  Flashscreen1                 BYTE    "Software",eos
  Flashscreen2                 Byte    "Version 3.2",eos  

Now if i do this it works

Pub Dispaly (Info,Mode,Time)

    dira[noparse][[/noparse] pin ]~~
    lcd.init
    lcd.cls

  Fs. SetPrecision(4)  
  If (Mode == 0)                       
      lcd.pos(1,1)
      lcd.writestr(@screen)
      lcd.writestr(fs.Floattostring(Info))
      lcd.pos(2,1)
      lcd.writestr(@screen1)
      waitcnt(Time + cnt)
      lcd.cls
      
  If (Mode == 10)    
      lcd.cls
      lcd.pos(1,1)
      lcd.writestr(@Flashscreen1)
      lcd.pos(2,1)
      lcd.writestr(@flashscreen2)
      pause_it(5,factor1)
      waitcnt(Time + cnt)  
      lcd.cls

My problem is that I dont want to keep running lcd.init when I update the
"Pub Dispaly (Info,Mode,Time)" from my main code.

Pub Dispaly (Info,Mode,Time)

this line will continue to be updated form another object

Timmoore

dira is per cog, setting it in the main cog doesn't change the direction in the Display cog

grasshopper

I am not worried about dira sorry for the confusion it my lcddriver object that wont work correctly

Timmoore

You sure that lcd.init isn't setting direction pins since it needs to write to output pins? i.e. same problem differnt pins

grasshopper

Good point ill check it thanks

Hello Grashopper,

there is a difference in the methodnames

the PUB-definition is named "Dispaly"

in your cognew statement it is named "Display"

looks like a mistyping

you did not post your complete code as an attachment

so there are some questions left:

where is constant "pin" defined ?

could it be that there is a method display that still exists but you made all the changes inside Dispaly ??

Your code-snippet has a method PUB start (Info,Mode,Time) : success

Is this the TOPLEVEL object ?

Then the parameters are not initialized in the code-snippet.

the code that is posted in the first post: is this the COMPLETE code ?
I don't think so. Could you please post ALL files as an attachment.
This means: your mainfile AND LCDDriver.spin AND floatstring.spin AND whatever else is depending on those files?


best regards

Stefan
