Keeze Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Hi all, my first NG-project is alive ;) I build a switchable USB to 4 DIN midi port router. Al from parts I have laying around. After a evening digging this forum and trying, it just works. Now I can control my Volca's with a single USB midi keyboard (hurray). I don't get one thing: How do I get special characters on the display?? For example in the next line I like to have a arrow instead off the >-sign (or the solid >) EVENT_SENDER id=1 if_equal=Button:1:1 fwd_to_lcd=1 type=NoteOn chn=1 key=any lcd_pos=1:32:1 label="> %e" ports=00001000000000000000 [17:36] Is this possible with NG? Cheers, Kees Edited September 11, 2020 by Keeze
totoRaymond Posted September 12, 2020 Report Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Hi, I don't think the built in fonts have special characters available. I remember reading a thread about creating you're own custom fonts, but it involved recompiling the MB_NG firmware. Search the forum, you light be lucky Thomas Edit: I found it! it was in the wiki page: http://wiki.midibox.org/doku.php?id=how_to_create_custom_glcd_fonts_icons_bars_for_midibox_ng Edited September 12, 2020 by totoRaymond
Antichambre Posted September 12, 2020 Report Posted September 12, 2020 Hi, What he wants is to print arrow for example, from the built-in char set. With MIOS function it's very easy, using Char Print and code number. With NG it seems only string are possible. But according to the C ascii table. the 'left arrow' code 0x7e is "~", so using: label="~ %e" works. But for the 'right arrow' the ascii code 0x7f correspond to DEL, which is not usable in a string.Is there a way to print a label using ascii code instead of string in NG? Best regards 1

As @antichambre stated, I only want to use interrnal characters. There must be a simple way to achieve this I hoped (without having to us 2 character postions like ->). Cheers Kees
totoRaymond Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 Well, there's nothing in the doc about using ASCII code with MidiBox NG, so i'm not sure you can do that. Unfortunately my STM32F4 board fried last time i plugged it (messy wiring) so i can't try anything right now. Sorry I couldn't help, Thomas
