type=SysEx stream="XX"

[Spirit]

hi again..

 

I have been looking at the Steam feature..

and it getting beter and beter... as I never use ASCII.

but print a text on the lcd is no problem..

 

only I noticed I can only set the Curser postion on the Sysex as ^curser or 6C 63 64 20 40 28 31 3A 31 3A 31 29 (your Hello world example)

can it be possible to do this on the NGC file?

something like this? txt56:1

then lcd_pos=<lcd>:x:y label="txt56:1"

or do i miss a Feature.

 

 

but this is very new for me so I have some other quastions to..

as I used a Example from you..

 

type=SysEx stream="0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x66 0x12 ^cursor ^txt56"

 

if I send F0 00 00 66 12 01 65 6D 69 6C 65 F7 the lcd will print emile (my name ;-) ) on curser 1

 

but if I change the Event_ parameter to  type=SysEx stream="0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x66 0x12 ^cursor ^txt"

instead of txt56 i add txt.

 

and i send the Sysex i see nothing on my LCD?

 

kind regards, spirit

It's currently not possible.

Would you prefer to set the initial cursor with txt:<cursor>, or with the lcd_pos?

I'm surprised, because internally ^txt56 is almost identical to ^txt, only the line length is different.

Maybe the event wasn't active... did you get an error message while loading the .NGC file?

And do you find the event with the "show pool" command?

i would prefer LCD_POS=LCD:X:Y its way easyer to find where you are at the LCD.

oke i get a error on the mios terminal.

 

[ 633.731] [MBNG_FILE_C:23] ERROR: unknown SysEx variable '^txt' in EVENT_RECEIVER ... stream=0xf0

[TK.]

very strange! Could you please show me the line which fails?

(line 23 of your .NGC file)

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

EVENT_RECEIVER ID =2 type=SysEx stream="0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x66 0x12 ^cursor ^txt"

 

with this line i get a Error.

 

 

EVENT_RECEIVER ID =2 type=SysEx stream="0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x66 0x12 ^cursor ^txt56"

 

this doesnt give a error.

Thanks, this was helpful! :)

Found it, fixed it - please try this preliminary release: http://www.ucapps.de/mios32/midibox_ng_v1_025_pre5.zip

 

It doesn't solve the cursor issue yet, because I've to think about the best suitable implementation for this extension.

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

its work ok now.

i would prefer LCD_POS=LCD:X:Y its way easyer to find where you are at the LCD.

 

implemented in v1.025
