The Eggtimer TRS/Eggfinder LCD Interface
The Eggfinder LCD receiver has a two-line x 16 character LCD display, and one button. When
in terminal mode paired with an Eggtimer TRS, the display generally shows you what is being
displayed/changed on the top line, and the current value on the bottom line.
The button has different functions depending on the menu, but in all cases there are three
different types of button presses:
TAP – Clicking the button, like you would if it was a computer mouse button
PRESS – Holding the button down for about 1 second, then releasing it, like a doorbell.
HOLD – Holding the button down for at least 7 seconds then releasing it.
In general, a TAP is used to go to the next menu or item, a PRESS is used to select an item so
that you can change it or display more information about it, and a HOLD is used for either
exiting out to the Main Menu (i.e. from Flight Display) or to confirm a function that does
something fairly drastic (like a deployment test).
When you TAP the button, you will hear a short click. When you PRESS the button, you will
hear a “beep”. When you HOLD the button, the sound you hear depends on the function; for
example, a deployment test sounds a 10-second alarm before it actually pops the igniter, so you
can get out of the way (if you’re not already… after all, that’s why you do it remotely!) The
sounds give you an audible confirmation that your function “took”.
The Eggtimer TRS Menu Structure
After you’ve paired your Eggtimer TRS with the Eggfinder LCD receiver, you go into the Main
Menu. The menu structure is very simple, there are a few menus that you cycle through by a
TAP of the button. When you get to the item that you want to select, you simply PRESS the
button (for 1 second or so) to select it, and the menus for that item will come up. If there are
further selections/menus, they work the same way, with a few exceptions detailed below.
When you first enter the Main Menu from pairing, you will see this screen:
This gives you the opportunity to check the status of your Eggtimer TRS unit. If you PRESS the
button, it will be selected.
If you TAP the button and go onto the next menu, you’ll see this:
