I want to see a simple event log in real time at the bottom of the screen so I know what happened without saving to SD cards etc… I mean whats the point in exporting to PC and then Excel a graph when theoretically you can do that on the screen here and now. But I don’t know how to get a visual representation.
The simplest way would be to add a count node and display the numbers. In other words, this button has been pressed so many times and the other so many times. But that is too little info.
Ideally If press one button I want a corresponding symbol to appear at the bottom of the screen and when I press the other button another symbol added to the string and so forth. I tried accumulate string and to reset it once the cap is reached but i couldn’t get it to work.
I also tried with start and stop scroll text but I do not know how to fill the feed. Push it somehow but everything that has a feed is bound to the cloud / internet, uart or some file.
button-DONE just tells you it finished checking if the button is pressed, so you don’t want to use it for changing your debug string. A boolean changing to true is a pulse, so you could connect button-PRS to pass-if pulse pin.
If you are just setting pass-if-COND to true, there is no reason to use the node; you can just set the values on the if-else-T & if-else-F.
Your code can be a lot simpler using a select node:
02h is being interpreted as ASCII 02Hex (which is start of text…not a printable character)
You could use 2Bh / 2Dh, but ‘+’ / ‘-’ is much easier & clearer
It does not like single quotes for symbols like + - etc… only normal text like ‘x’ / ‘o’
Or 2Bh / 2Dh (god forbid you leave and empty space after the 2Dh)
In any case thank you!
That’s odd…I tested before posting & it worked for me with ‘+’ & ‘-’. XOD should not see any difference between ‘+’ and ‘x’…Maybe you had spaces before/after when you tried it?
