Custom Main Screens

You will need to copy/paste your custom screen everytime.

My take on the custom screen. The temperature text changes color depending on the state of the heater and fan.

Green = Heater and fan off, temp good.
Red = Temp too high, fan on.
Blue = Temp too low, heater on.

Edit: This assumes the fan is on relay 1 and the heater is on relay 2.

Code:

Code: Select all

void DrawCustomMain()
{
  byte x;
  byte y = 2;
  char text[7];

  // *********** CHANGE TEMP READOUT COLOR DEPENDENT ON FAN AND HEATER STATUS ***********
  int TempColor;        // Color for drawing temperature
  boolean FanOn = ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port1);    // Get the status of the fan relay
  boolean HeatOn = ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port2);   // Get the status of the heater relay
  if (HeatOn)  
  {
    TempColor = COLOR_NAVY;    // Blue text, too cold, heater is on
  }
  if (FanOn)    
  {
      TempColor = COLOR_RED;   // Red text, too warm, fan is on
  }
  if (!HeatOn && !FanOn)  
  {
      TempColor = COLOR_GREEN;  // Green text, no fan or heater on
  }
  // ***********************************************************************************
  
  ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(DefaultFGColor, DefaultBGColor, 30, 2, "Colin's Reef");       // Put a banner at the top
  ReefAngel.LCD.DrawDate(6, 119);                                                      // Put the date and time at the bottom
  ReefAngel.LCD.Clear(COLOR_BLACK, 1, 11, 132, 11);                                    // Draw a black line under the banner
  x = 12;
  y += MENU_START_ROW+1;                                                               // MENU_START_ROW is 10, according to globals.h, so y=2+10+1=13

Awesome idea!!!! Getting copied!

I had NO IDEA that all these awesome designs and ideas would come from me creating these template functions to allow people to customize their displays.

Great idea for your display. Simple and clean. Looks great!

Thanks! And thanks for the templates. I'm having a blast with my Reef Angel. I doubt this is the final version of my main screen.

Ok, so I'm getting ready to add the WiFi module. I noticed in the sample code there are pingserial() commands scattered about that have something to do with the WiFi module. How often do these need to be put in?

The libraries should take care of that for you.
If you are designing a custom main screen, just make sure to call it if you have lots of drawing on the screen.

cosmith71 · Post by **cosmith71** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 10:24 am

Is that because of the length of time the drawing takes?

im trying to use the custom screen that showed here but when I upload the code, still showing the graph of the standard screen. Where in the code i remove that graph?

Add this to the very end of the code posted above:

Code: Select all

void DrawCustomGraph()
{
}

Did that fix it?

Im not the best at coding so i have chopped quite a bit from other people

Ideally i would love to take out the bottom two rows and have:

Tank Name
Vortech
2 LED Channels (got a vertex illumilux)
Temp
PH
Relays
ATO - Plan on getting one of the new ones - so if theres a way to see how full the reservoir is

if anyone is willing to help me, you would be awesome in my eyes

Oh, and no peripherals are connected right now as im in the process of switching tanks - incase youre wondering

binder · Post by **binder** » Mon Apr 29, 2013 6:34 pm

One thing I noticed is that you will want to make all these strings the same length:

Code: Select all

  if (vtechmode == 0) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_LIMEGREEN,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Constant");
  else if(vtechmode == 1) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_PURPLE,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Lagoon");
  else if (vtechmode == 2) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_GOLD,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Reef Crest");
  else if (vtechmode == 3) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_CORNFLOWERBLUE,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Short Pulse");
  else if (vtechmode == 4) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_PINK,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Long Pulse");
  else if (vtechmode == 9) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_WHITE,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Night");

The "Constant", "Lagoon", etc. should be the same length and if they are not, then you should pad them. Looks like "Short Pulse" is the longest at 11 chars.

Code: Select all

So "Constant" should be "Constant   " and "Lagoon" should be "Lagoon     ".

The reason for this is when you change the modes and go from a larger text string to a smaller text string, there will be "ghosting" occurring from the extra characters not being overwritten.

Secondly, you say you want to change the layout of what is displayed? Do you not like having the 3 rows of 2 columns in the middle? Does that need to be changed for you?

Did you still want the date to be at the bottom of the screen? If not, you just need to remove this line:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.LCD.DrawDate(6, 122);

from the DrawCustomMain() function and the date will no longer be displayed.

Thanks for pointing that out! So let me just make sure i understand, I should rather have all the vortech modes lined up in the code? (im not so savvy when it comes to coding and terms used, what is padding? the gap between the end of the word and the quotations? )

E.G:
"Lagoon "
"Constant "
"Reef Crest "

Secondly, you say you want to change the layout of what is displayed? Do you not like having the 3 rows of 2 columns in the middle? Does that need to be changed for you?

I like the 3x2 layout, just would like to be able to change the paramaters viewed to something like this:
Ariel's Reef
Vortech : Reef Crest
Temp 1: 26 PH: 8.3
White : 70% Blue: 20%
ATO level : 65% etc

(ATO level will get its data from the pressure sensor)

Did you still want the date to be at the bottom of the screen? If not, you just need to remove this line:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawDate(6, 122);
from the DrawCustomMain() function and the date will no longer be displayed.

Yeah i like the date and time at the bottom

thanks though

yes, the gap between the end of the word and quotation mark. the padding is simply just spaces. so count the letters and use spaces to fill in the extras like i mentioned.

I like the 3x2 layout, just would like to be able to change the paramaters viewed to something like this:
Ariel's Reef
Vortech : Reef Crest
Temp 1: 26 PH: 8.3
White : 70% Blue: 20%
ATO level : 65% etc

(ATO level will get its data from the pressure sensor)

the 3x2 layout you like will have to be created manually with copying and updating the function that displays it. i can help with it later tonight or tomorrow when i get home and can have access to a keyboard and look things up better with formatting. you can look at the DrawMonitor function inside the nokialcd.cpp file to get an idea.

binder · Post by **binder** » Tue Apr 30, 2013 1:17 pm

Ok, here's some code for you based on what you were wanting. I added comments to it and cleaned up things as well (I fixed the spacing issue). Here's the DrawCustomMain function as well as a helper function for drawing your custom monitor box. So just copy and paste these 2 functions into your INO file and replace the existing DrawCustomMain().

Code: Select all

void DrawCustomMain()
{
    // the graph is drawn/updated when we exit the main menu &
    // when the parameters are saved
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawDate(6, 122);

    // Draw the custom monitor, function listed below
    DrawCustomMonitor(15, 60);

    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_MAGENTA,DefaultBGColor,15,5,"Ariel's Reef");
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(DefaultFGColor,DefaultBGColor,1,30,"Vortech:");

    byte vtechmode = InternalMemory.RFMode_read();
    if (vtechmode == 0) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_LIMEGREEN,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Constant   ");
    else if(vtechmode == 1) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_PURPLE,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Lagoon     ");
    else if (vtechmode == 2) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_GOLD,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Reef Crest ");
    else if (vtechmode == 3) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_CORNFLOWERBLUE,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Short Pulse");
    else if (vtechmode == 4) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_PINK,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Long Pulse ");
    else if (vtechmode == 9) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_WHITE,DefaultBGColor,50,30,"Night      ");

    byte TempRelay = ReefAngel.Relay.RelayData;
    TempRelay &= ReefAngel.Relay.RelayMaskOff;
    TempRelay |= ReefAngel.Relay.RelayMaskOn;
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawOutletBox(12, 97, TempRelay);
}

void DrawCustomMonitor(byte x, byte y) {

    // To change the column (move it right or left), you will need to adjust the value for X
    // The Labels start at X and the values for them start at X+18. 
    // If you have to move them farther right (making 18 a larger number), you will need to adjust the values for X below for the second column. 
    // The 2nd column labels start at X+60 and the values start at X+78
    // left column - top item
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(T1TempColor,DefaultBGColor,x,y,"T1:");
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawSingleMonitor(ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE], T1TempColor, x+18, y,10);
    // left column - middle item, White LED is on DP Channel
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(DPColor,DefaultBGColor,x,y+10,"White:");
    // you may have to move the value farther to the right
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawSingleMonitor(ReefAngel.PWM.GetDaylightValue(), DPColor, x+18, y+10,1);
    // left column - bottom item
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(T3TempColor,DefaultBGColor,x,y+20,"ATO Level:");
    // you may have to move the value farther to the right
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawSingleMonitor(ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel(), T3TempColor, x+18, y+20,0);

    // right column - top item
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(PHColor,DefaultBGColor,x+60,y,"PH:");
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawSingleMonitor(ReefAngel.Params.PH, PHColor, x+78, y,100);
    // right column - middle item, Blue LED is on AP Channel
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(APColor,DefaultBGColor,x+60,y+10,"Blue:");
    // you may have to move the value farther to the right
    ReefAngel.LCD.DrawSingleMonitor(ReefAngel.PWM.GetActinicValue(), APColor, x+78, y+10,1);
    // right column - bottom item (not used)
    //DrawText(APColor,DefaultBGColor,x+60,y+20,"AP:");
    //DrawSingleMonitor(ReefAngel.PWM.GetActinicValue(), APColor, x+78, y+20,1);
}

The colors may need to be adjusted for you, but that's really easy to change. Also, I assumed that your Blue LED were on the AP channel and the White LED were on the DP channel. They can be flipped if needed. We may also need to adjust the spacing of the column based on the size of the text labels. You will just have to adjust it accordingly and experiment with it.

EDIT: Fixed my typo errors with the code

I just fixed up my code in the previous post. I know the WHITE and Params errors should be gone now. I'm not sure why it is giving you the error about the WaterLevel member. It should be available because it found the Water Level Expansion Module.
Make sure you are running the latest libraries. Perhaps Roberto can shed some more light on this error.

Make sure you add this in your includes up top:

Is it possible to mod this code to display the mode that my WP40 is running?

DrewPalmer04 · Post by **DrewPalmer04** » Thu May 16, 2013 7:39 am

That will display the mode your mp40 is running? Only if you're controlling it via the RF module? The RA sets the mode and then that code displays it on your custom main. I hope you have the RA+ or you'll run out of space quickly.

Yes, using this part of the coding.

 ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,18,12,"EcoSmart Vortech");

  else if (vtechmode == 9) ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_WHITE,0,45,21,"Night");

I believe this only works with the RF module though. I want it to display the mode my WP40 are in, through the use of the wp40 harness and dimming ports. Yep, the plus was a must!
