Request for UM: Rolling LCD-display

[riro]

Did fire up my new LCD yesterday and looked in to the existing example-UMs for LCD's...

In DisplayingTemperatures.cs there is a comment "Display the temperatures four at a time, with a delay of 2 seconds between", but when I look in to the code I can't see the delay...
Since I have 14 points of measure I would like a UM that works a little like LCDExample.cs but with some modifications...

I have it set up to roll through all devices with a 4 second interval, done this by setting the read-schedule with different startingpoints.

Today it shows
1. Date + Time
2. Blank
3. Device name
4. Current temp

What I would like is that it first shows:
1. Date + Time
2. Current Device : Temp  (Like DisplayingTemperatures.cs does so you can rename the devices)
3. Last Device : Temp
4. Second Last Device : Temp

And then on the next read, line 2 becomes 3 and line 3 becomes 4.

Why? When I want to know the outside temp I need to wait up to 56 seconds today... Well, not me since I have 4 devices outside so I "only" have to wait 20 seconds to get some clue of the temperature... :-)


Even better would be to take a few devices and show the max/min temp from that group (almost the same as in TemperaturNuReporter.cs that reports the lowest temp from a group)...
In that case you could would have:
1. Date + Time
2. Group 1 Name : Max / Min
2. Group 2 Name : Max / Min
2. Group 3 Name : Max / Min

[Per]

That comment might be a left-over... 

As for the other things...no impossible wishes and I'll gladly help you with it - after the release of 0.8.3.

Did a quick and probably ugly hack...

Added some variables

Code: [Select]

namespace Com.Pmalmberg.MSure.Modules.UserModules
{
class LCDExample : UserModule
{
    string line1;
    string line2;
    string line3;

And then a few changes in the code.

Code: [Select]

public override void Event( OWTemperatureContainer temperature )
{
      // Rotate information
line3 = line2;
line2 = line1;
line1 = temperature.Label + "  " + temperature.Temperature.ToString("f2") + "                    " ;

// Display some info from the temperature container on the display
LCDCommand lcdCmd = new LCDCommand( temperature.NetworkName, "LcdDisplay", "not used" );
lcdCmd.DisplayCenter(0, DateTime.Now.ToString( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" ) );
lcdCmd.DisplayCenter( 1, line1 );
lcdCmd.DisplayCenter( 2, line2 );
lcdCmd.DisplayCenter( 3, line3 );
Send( lcdCmd );
}

At "work" ;-) right now so I cant see the display but it should work. (Compiles just fine)

Thanks for sharing your "hack", just what I was looking for

Skulle du möjligen kunna lägga upp filen i sin helhet
Är ganska borta på UM:s.
Jag har fått displayen att funka med både DisplayingTemperatures.cs och LCDExample.cs men har också fler sensorer jag vill ska rulla på displayen
