Hi Scott, (or any-one in the freeamp list)
I want to design a menu like UI for the freeamp for LCD. As you said, I
figured out that the lcdproc based lcd.ui might not be a good one for the
car mp3 player. So I decided to talk to directly to the lcd using the mtxorb
drivers and so on. (i.e commenting out the lcdproc part). I have the
following problem and I would appreciate if you could help me in that..
1) When user enter a string(for example selecting a menu or entering a
string input), I want to display at the lcd. (ideally as he enters,
charectors by charector). Righ now I can only display after I call the
lcd.fluch function. In this case, I will loose all of the current content in
the display.
ALso, he problem is how do I make the curser to be in a place at the end of
an exisitng line at the lcd. (e.g. if I want to ask the user "Enter the song
to add play list":-, I want the curser to be at the end of the line..and
want to display the charectors (string) as he enters. How do I do that.
2) Also, how do I make a scroll function. I.e. if I list a song list how do
I make the user to be able to select the song (by scrolling and selecting).
The input device is regular key board and I want to map a key (e.g. arrow)
to scroll.
thanks for your help..
Julius.
