// manargs could be reduced from 32*9 (288 bytes) to 32*4 (128 bytes)
// by placing the 0 arg commands after 'button' and letting the args run into them
// 2016/02/22 1.2 fixed PeekM and PokeM commands, they were not working
// 2018/09/28 1.3 Added ability to use a Workshop defined com port. This requires Workshop 4.6.0.0 or above

Paul, great news that you're still working on it. I am extremely grateful and look forward to seeing what you come up with. Stay safe

[pauleilio]

Hi Simon,

I wasn't able to get this working in the Serial environment as it is so it would mean extra work in modifying / adding routines to accept the data and scroll up & down. I will continue to find a solution for this and update you as soon as possible.

Best regards

Paul

Hi P, Hope you are well and staying safe where ever you are. Have you had a chance / any joy with the serial solution? I've been trying but had no joy. I'd be grateful if you would respond to let me know if you can do any more or not. Thanks, Simon.

You Can Change program SPE for your project its work

Hi P, Hope you are well and staying safe where ever you are. Have you had a chance / any joy with the serial solution?

[pauleilio]

Hi

I have and it isn't working out as well as I expected. I may have to rethink how to do this. I will update you you when I find a better solution.

Best regards

Hi Paul. Have you had a chance to look at implementing a serial environment please?

[Doris]

Hi Paul. Have you had a chance to look at implementing a serial environment please?

[Doris]

Paul, I really can't thank you enough

[pauleilio]

Hi,

The confusion might be that you started with a Designer project and then at some stage switched to using the Serial environment so all examples I created were for how you started your project development in Designer.

It's not impossible to do this and there will be a way that you can do this from the Serial environment. I will see how we can implement something similar from Serial.

Best regards

Paul

OK I'm being really thick here sorry, when I do the above it starts in serial environment but no buttons or scrolling appear like they do when I compile and load from 4DVisi environment. I can feel it is nealy there, just need to screen to remember the scrolling code when I connect it to the Arduino

[pauleilio]

Great,

Ok, it will only scroll by buttons on that example and can be coded to automatically scroll.

You can now set the project destination to RAM while testing.

To get the display back into the Serial Environment you need to follow these steps

1. Create a new project and choose your display.
2. Click on Serial as the Programming Environment.
3. Click on the Tools tab
4. Click on SPE Load

Your display will now start in the Serial environment.

Best regards

Paul
