Playing with new PICED features

Darren, you've outdone yourself with some of the new features!!! The graphing feature is very cool and useful for showing the 'on time' of C-Bus loads, their approximate power use as well as graphically showing temperature history and the on-time of heating.

Well done. I'm sure others will appreciate the benefit of the new feature.

 

Tools Template

Darren
12568 Updated tools template to include separate page for installer tools

How do I get the second page of Tools ????
All I get from the Tools template is below.

Thanks. We always appreciate good feedback.

 

Ah, yes. We were just seeing if anyone actually read the What's New.

OK. You caught me out... It looks like the new template got left out of the installer. Sorry about that. We will fix it next time. I have attached it if you would like to start using it.

 

Tks Darren
Just keeping you on the ball.

Next question
Can I get to the firmware keyboard ??
What to create text fields and let the user enter text.
ie names and birthdays



dave

 

auto save

Suggestion
Would have been better in the project settings then I can set on a project basis
instead of one setting suits all.

dave

 

The only ability to enter general-purpose text is with editing string User System IO variables. This is only possible on Colour C-Touch.

 

Hi Darren,

Nice new features!
Can you tell me if the power failure recovery of enable groups for the B&W Touch been fixed?

 

Yes, it has.

Changes to firmware are listed in C:\Clipsal\PICED\Firmware\Versions.txt

 

DrawTextBlock

Darren,
How do I blank out the textbox ??
I am trying to write the time hours and minutes, but end up with attached pic.

logic code;
{short_time has 10 spaces in it }
Short_time:= ' ';
DrawTextBlock(Short_time, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, Alignment);

Copy(Short_time, Long_time, 1, Count);
DrawTextBlock(Short_time, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, Alignment);

ClearScreen;

 

Matty.
Good idea - guess I could turn the power off also that would clear the full screen.
Bit of an over kill just to clear the text field I think.

I recommend the same thing before drilling into walls. You don't want to hit power cables.

ClearScreen is the only way to do it.
