I want to get the display to show the Cloud duration on the left side of my screen like it does now and I also want to Show when the next cloud is on the Right side of the screen.. It shows 10:00 now which isn't correct since thats not in my parameters.. I think I'm close yet again but Heres Code..

See this?

This will draw 00:00
You have to overlap:

if ((cloudstart/60)>=10) x=48; else x=54;
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,x,57,(cloudstart/60));
if ((cloudstart%60)>=10) x=66; else x=72;
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,x,57,(cloudstart%60));
}
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,56,119,cloudduration);
if (lightningchance)
{
int x=0;
if (((cloudstart+(cloudduration/2))/60)>=10) x=51; else x=57;
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,x,115,((cloudstart+(cloudduration/2))/60));
if (((cloudstart+(cloudduration/2))%60)>=10) x=69; else x=75;

So you change the x= values to over lap "00:00" these output calculations.


It sure took me some time to get it exactly right...

Don't forget it will be in military time...once you get it moved correctly it'll all work out.

Also note the offset of 4 between the x= values. The else x=75; is offset by 3 because it seemed to line up better.

Thanks.. I got the time the next cloud goes by looking at your code.. What lines control where its putting stuff down where my ATO is on my screen?

Take a look at this line: You have to change the "57" to where you want it to go up and down...
So it basically is calculating what "X" is and graphing it...so change the "Y" and you'll be moving up and down.
You have to change this for every line, IE 57 changed to 40...so put 40 in every Y location.

ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,x,57,(cloudstart/60));

Got it.. At least I got what time the next cloud is right in the center of the screen.. Maybe I'll Mess with cloud duration another day..

You're past the hard part...now just adjust your X= values and it'll shift right...just keep the offsets of 4

Got it Thanks
d

Sweet! Enjoy

Finally Got it after playing for a bit.. Lol
Pictures Below...

Very nice! It's tricky for sure. But lOoks really good!

I'd like to ask either of you for your final code where you got the times to line up. I'm just not comprehending exactly what values to change, and how they interrelate to get the time and duration to overlap over the zeroes. Hopefully, by seeing what you've done, I can monkey-see, monkey-do my own setup.

Thanks!

Much appreciated to both of you!

Any time.. Have Fun or Frustration whichever it maybe!! Either Way it is fun to mess with it!! Lol

+1 love changing stuff all the time on it.

Ok been working on my code and to save my life I cant get it to work as far as the x and y values for cloud and lightning. Any help appreciated here is my code and a pic of my screen......code first:

Have you reviewed the thread? Start there...you can't really mess anything up ...just change your X and Y coordinates and play around...you just need 00:00 to be overlapped by the X and Y of what's in the thread.

Make SURE your X and Y offsets are 4!

Man if ya only knew how many hrs i have done tried with them darn x's and y's.....lol ya would understand why ive been tempted to throw the whole dang thing out the window....lol Seriously I just cant seem to get it lined up to get it to work properly...........this is the only part i should be fooling with correct?

Do this to lightening...IF you're not using it.

Then tell me where you're trying to position "duration" and the "next cloud" time at...

i am using lightning and ya could put next cloud where Durat is on my screen then Dur between Cabinet and Room. what is CL in top left corner for then?

You've got the hang of it. Nice work!

Any way to modify this code to allow for a slow increase and decrease of the daylight analog dimming port to simulate passing clouds instead of it just decreasing to 0?

So,
10% to 30% then 30% to 10% within 10 seconds or so...then repeat for the full duration of the cloud (the calculated pre-existing value).

So, you want multiple clouds in the current cloud duration?

Yeah but in the idea of having it dim and brighten up throughout the current calculated duration. Like if you stand outside and it gets darker and lighter as clouds pass over head.

Now as it is. I feel like the cloud just comes over the tank and sits there instead of natural cloud movement.

Is this possible? Do you get what I'm trying to explain?

Can't you just sub the line that sets the dim level to 0 to use a Slope function? I haven't looked through the cloud code, but should be straightforward enough...
