Control embedded menu application from browser - embedCONTROL.js
Instead of the desktop version, on Raspberry PIs you can serve a React.JS based single page web application that needs no installation. It works on a wide range of mobile phones, desktop and tablet devices. It is not supported in the Arduino or mbed environment directly at the moment. Using the deployed app To open the app, simply browse to the...
Using custom fonts in your menu with different libraries
In the theme plugin properties you can often select the font to use. However, there are a few points to bear in mind when using fonts. Here are the key points: Most graphical plugins (other than Uno specific) support TcUnicode, a font rendering system that has full Unicode UTF-8 support. These fonts can be easily created in the designer UI, see...
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...
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...
Arduino Game library for 20x4 display
Here we discuss a game library that provides an easy way to write games with 20x4 parallel display and a few micro-switches. There is quite a lot of stuff going on in this library, so I'd like to start slow and build up. First, let's start by taking a look at the parts needed to use this library: 20x4 display (other...
Low power Arduino menu using tcmenu library
In this article we'll discuss building a low power Arduino menu using tcMenu library. We will use a TFT screen and a rotary encoder connected to a PCF8574 device. The device will be SAMD MKR board. I've picked this choice purposely, because it's non-trivial, and requires a lot of digging to make sure power usage is a low as possible. Running...
Arduino 7 segment LED display tutorial
In this tutorial I show you how to connect a 7 segment display to an Arduino board. For a tutorial showing how to drive 4 or 8 digit displays see ( Arduino multiple digit, 7 segment display tutorial ). Firstly, we must know what type of display we have as there are two possible forms, common cathode and common anode. If the...
