Using Arduino Pins and Io Expanders at the same time
Sometimes there is a need for more IO than can be catered for using an single set of pins, even on the MEGA, or maybe you just want to combine Arduino pins with some pins on an PCF8574 IO expander chip. In this case IoAbstraction now supports that, you create an abstraction of type . See the sketch that has Arduino...
Connect to a remote server plug-in for tcMenu library
In this guide we show how to setup and use the remote server communication plugin for tcMenu. This plugin allows you to reverse the normal connection direction, and have the API side be a server accepting connections from devices. You simply configure the address and port that the connector should connect with, and ensure there is an API listening at the...
Touch screen menu calibration
There are several touch plugins in TcMenu and they all have support for controlling calibration and orientation. The calibration UI is presently at preview quality although works for many cases. Below is an image showing the common options to most touch plugins. Touch screen calibration The touch screen calibration option provides a very simple UI and calibration load and save feature...
STM32/mbed LTDC Frame buffer menu touch driver
STM32 LTDC Frame buffer touch screen support It is possible to generate an impressive menu application using LTDC via the BSP functions. It has been tested to work fully with mbed on a STM32F429 Disc1 with ILI9341 and touch, but also should work with STM32duino and other screens given the right parameters and setup. IMPORTANT NOTE: It should be noted...
Using SSD1306 to generate a Uno / low memory multi level OLED menu
It is possible to build multi level menus with an OLED display on an Arduino Uno or other low memory board provided you use SSD1306Ascii instead of the U8G2 library, as it uses a lot less memory at the cost of some flexibility. We've tested it with regular I2C SH1106 OLED display units and it works absolutely fine. To use this...
Menu In Menu support for embedded Java on Linux / Raspberry PI
You can combine many menu structures from different devices into a single menu, this works by each remote menu being represented by a object being associated with a and a . It maps the remote menu into an unused ID range on the local device and even handles dialog commands. Available from version 2.3 of tcMenu Designer and API....
Control menus with embedCONTROL.JS from a webserver
Available from 2.3 onwards. On larger embedded devices you can serve up embedCONTROL.JS from a web browser. It allows you to remotely control and monitor the menu items from a web page on any device that can run a web browser. It is a single page web application based on React.JS. It supports the most important functions from the full embedCONTROL...
Embedded Java ethernet, WiFi and Serial plugin
In this guide we show how to setup and use the embedded Java remote plugin to allow embedCONTROL connections to a Raspberry PI or other embedded Linux board. Back to tcMenu main page
Embedded Java OpenJFX screen rendering for Raspberry PI
Both EmbedControl remote and local work using the same UI components, and they can take a tcMenu Designer created menu tree and convert it automatically into a displayable graph. The "embedded/local" version does this with the menu tree embedded within it, while the "remote" version does so using a menu tree that it bootstrapped from a remote device. In order to...
XPT2046 / FT6206 touch screen input plugin
This touch screen input plugin supports both XPT2046 and FT6206 based touch screens. In order for this plugin to work correctly the right underlying library must be installed. These are described below: XPT2046 Paul Stoffregen XPT2046 library , best installed from library manager. FT6206 Adafruit_FT6206 library , best installed from library manager When using this touch plugin, the concept of touching...
