Customising input and display tcMenu plugins
Sometimes the input or rendering capabilities of the built in plugins may suit your purposes, or your hardware may not be supported. In these cases it is possible to either write a custom renderer from scratch, or more likely generate a new in the case of a graphical device. This article assumes you are customising an input or display renderer...
Changes in graphics configurations for renderers
Like any library, we occasionally need to make changes to the way that things work, this makes the library more viable going forward, and often provides major improvements in what's possible for nearly everyone. However, sometimes we need to deprecate features so that it reduces the support burden, we do this as infrequently as possible, and try and give users long...
TcMenu - TagVal protocol documentation
Embed Control local area transmissions use a protocol called TagVal with the option of sending binary data too. TagVal is a simple and lightweight protocol that has implementations on device for Arduino and mbed, and developer APIs in Java , Javascript , Python , DotNet , and Dart is coming soon. If you are working in a language where an API...
PicoSDK with OLED using UTF-8 tcUnicode fonts
Using the Native C++ fork of the Adafruit GFX library you can control an OLED display using UTF-8 fonts on a PicoSDK or mbed board directly. Right now it supports SSD1306 and SH1106 displays using both I2C and SPI. With the help of tcUnicode it can also display UTF-8 text. Using tcUnicode you can generate embedded fonts which can be...
Introduction to fluent menu builder
We've added a new fluent menu builder to the library. This builder provides a more intuitive and readable way to construct menus, making it easier for developers to create complex menu structures without requiring the many static definitions of the past. We've added this builder because on most machines with moderate sized menus, the overhead of this method is relatively low....
Generating Form Layouts for use with Embed Control
Embed Control can load layouts that have been generated in tcMenu Designer. These layouts provide more control over the mobile layout than what is possible using the Auto UI. Either the user-centric or tcMenu Designer based UI can load forms, but only tcMenu Designer can create them. How does Embed Control show menu items? A form layout is nothing more than...
