midibox lc - need help with different lcd setup

howdy !

so i have this problem - instead of havinf both lcd's in a line i have mounted them one beneath the other to get a more compact midibox.

the problem is only that now the "controlable" elements on the lcd are not alligned together. it looks like this:

status section | channel 1 | channel 2 | channel 3 | channel 4 |

                            O                O            O              O

      channel 5 | channel 6 | channel 7 | channel 8 | clock section

            O              O                O            O

the round "O" are knobs in my panel. of course you can immagine that this solution isn't really very comfortable. what i try to achieve is the following:

status section | channel 1 | channel 2 | channel 3 | channel 4 |

                            O              O            O              O

clock section  | channel 5 | channel 6 | channel 7 | channel 8 |

                            O              O              O              O

so i just want to move the "clock" part to the left of the lcd.

i tried to rewrite the code a bit but i'm quite stuck - the lc code is quite big with a lot of attachments and i get confused very easy.

could you maybe point me in the direction where i should go and search? i have 2x40 character lcd's

thanks in advance

hi,

i think you have to edit the "lc_clcd.inc" file:

;; --------------------------------------------------------------------------

;;  Some words to the x/y positions:

;;    - x goes from 0 thru 39 (1st column to 40th column)

;;    - y: when 0: first LCD, upper line

;;    - y: when 1: first LCD, lower line

;;    - y: when 2: second LCD, upper line

;;    - y: when 3: second LCD, lower line

;; --------------------------------------------------------------------------

i guesss this won't work without some more intensive recoding.

as far as i have understood the glcd.inc file there are no seperate functions for the host messages only one:

;; print host messages at position 12/0, (0=normal spacing)

SET_CLCD_HOST_MSG 1, 12, 0, 0

i guess that when it hits the end of the first lcd i automatically goes to the second. i guess i would have to make a seperate SET_CLCD_HOST_MSG for the first lcd and a seperate for the second.

correct ?

okay i actually solved it by myself...

the line

LC_CLCD_Msg_CursorUpdate_C2

movlw 0x80-40

addwf TMP1, F

has to be changed to

LC_CLCD_Msg_CursorUpdate_C2

movlw 0x80-28

addwf TMP1, F

also - to have everything correctly alined

LC_CLCD_Init_Page0

;; print status digits at position 38/2

SET_CLCD_STATUS 1, 38, 2

;; print "SMPTE/BEATS" at position: 28/2

SET_CLCD_SMPTE_BEATS 1, 1, 2

;; print MTC digits at position 27/3

SET_CLCD_MTC 1, 0, 3

;; print host messages at position 12/0, (0=normal spacing)

SET_CLCD_HOST_MSG 1, 13, 0, 0

;; don't print meters

SET_CLCD_METER 0, 0, 0, 0

;; print rec/solo/mute status at 0/0

SET_CLCD_RSM_MSG 1, 0, 0

;; print select status at 0/1

SET_CLCD_SEL_MSG 1, 0, 1

return

and everything fits perfectly on screen. yikes !
