Thanks Martin,
I tried this too but it doesn't work :

progress.c:27: macro `dlcd_show' used with too many (2) args
progress.c:27: macro `BIT_OF' used with just one arg
progress.c:27: macro `BYTE_OF' used with just one arg

The hint seems to fit two arguments in one. But I don't know how to format
these in order for them to be accepted by dlcd_show AND by the two macros

I tried to use the "real" value  0xef46,0x4 instead of the define  LCD_4_BOTL
dlcd_show(0xef46,0x4); and I got obviously the same error.

When trying at least to use directly the bit_set function with
bit_set (0xef46,0x4); it works,
but if I put these items in an array and invoking bit_set with
bit_set(progressPattern[ i ][0], progressPattern[ i ][1] );
I obtain a
"inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm'  " because my array certainly
does not contain the right type of data  for such a low-level operation. (how
can we fit a single bit in an array ?)



I'll probably use an other approach, based on arrays of pointers on simple
functions like :
int progress1{
   dlcd_show(LCD_4_BOTL);
   return 0;
}

maybe it will be easier...

Any help will be welcome

Alexandre.

Hi,
    I haven't used LegOs (yet), but looking at the dlcd_show function, it
expects 2 parameters.  The defines are also for 2 parameters, so you would
need to define and use it like this:

int progressPattern[PATTERN_ITEMS_NB][2]={
{LCD_4_BOTL} ,
{LCD_4_TOPL} ,
{LCD_4_TOP }
};

dlcd_show(progressPattern[ i ][0], progressPattern[ i ][1] );

Hope this helps.

Hi all legOS users,

need help  about dlcd_*   utilities

I'd like to display on the lcd a sequence of digits:
something like :

  dlcd_show (LCD_4_BOTL);
  lcd_refresh();
  msleep(250);
  lcd_clear();
  dlcd_show (LCD_4_TOPL);
  lcd_refresh();
  msleep(250);
  lcd_clear();
  dlcd_show (LCD_4_TOP);
...

But of course this is not a good idea to hardcode a long sequence.
So I tried to make a pattern of segments stored in an array, and access to
the good one with an index value in a for {   } loop.

int progressPattern[PATTERN_ITEMS_NB]={
{LCD_4_BOTL} ,
{LCD_4_TOPL} ,
{LCD_4_TOP }
};

and later
for (...){
...
lcd_clear();
dlcd_show(progressPattern[ i ] );
lcd_refresh();
msleep(250);
...
}

and I obtain the following compilation errors concerning dlcd_show( );

macro `BIT_OF' used with just one arg
macro `BYTE_OF' used with just one arg

I tried lots of braces combination , a declaration of a bidimensional
array too, but in vain.

Since I'm not an expert in C and macros, I certainly made something wrong
when filling this array with defines, and maybe it is not the right way to
proceed.

Thanks a lot for advance.
