Phidgets Text LCD
Description
This primitive allows you to interface to the Phidgets Text LCD and Text LCD Adapter boards.
Once you have the board connected to your PC you need to start the component by sending a trigger to the first input. The 'On' output will
return True if a connection has been established (False otherwise).
If you have multiple boards connected to your PC then you should provide the unique serial number of the board you want to connect to at
the 'Conn' (connection string) input. If you want to connect to a device on a remote server provide the device serial, IP and port or server
name and also a password if necessary separated by commas. Use -1 as the serial if you want to connect to the first device found.
Example connection strings:
“196491” or “635824,myserver” or “-1,myserver,password” or “142567,192.168.1.1,800,password”
The Text LCD Adapter board allows you to control up to two screens. To choose the screen send either 0 (first screen) or 1 (second screen)
to the Screen input.
To tell FlowBotics Studio what screen size you are using with your adapter, use the Size input. This takes a string of the format 'RxC' where
R is the number of rows and C is the number of columns. For example, '2x20' for a screen with 2 rows and 20 columns.
