Scroll Menu using LCD AppMod

G-Man

Im looking to create a menu that can be scrolled through using the buttons on the Parallax LCD AppMod.· Do I need to create a table of messages to then index thru them?· If so how can I do this?

Hi gabe , you could place you messages as text strings as part of your code or you could store the messages in EEPROM. The advantage of EEPROM is if you have a large number of messages it saves on program space. If you take a look at the DATA instruction of the Pbasic IDE help file the page contains a link to an example program that stores and reads addressable text strings one character at a time. With a little adaptation this would probably be the best way to build your menu structure. To begin with I would play around with it in the debug terminal until I had it how I wanted then I would add the LCD routines.

hope this helps

Sounds like a nice weekend project. I have a few menu routines that could be cleaned up and used. I will see what I can do this weekend and try to post something.
