User Manual

Prints the specified unsigned long (4-byte) value to the display at the current cursor position. The value will

not wrap or otherwise span lines and will always be positive.

static void OrangutanLCD::printHex(unsigned int value)

void print_hex(unsigned int value)

Prints the specified two-byte value in hex to the display at the current cursor position. The value will not wrap

or otherwise span lines.

static void OrangutanLCD::printHex(unsigned char value)

void print_hex_byte(unsigned char value)

Prints the specified byte value in hex to the display at the current cursor position. The value will not wrap or

otherwise span lines.

static void OrangutanLCD::printBinary(unsigned char value)

void print_binary(unsigned char value)

Prints the specified byte in binary to the display at the current cursor position. The value will not wrap or

otherwise span lines.

static void OrangutanLCD::gotoXY(unsigned char x, unsigned char y)

void lcd_goto_xy(int col, int row)

Moves the cursor to the specified (x, y) location on the LCD. The top line is y = 0 and the leftmost character

column is x = 0, so you can return to the upper-left home position by calling lcd.gotoXY(0, 0), and you can go

to the start of the second LCD line by calling lcd.gotoXY(0, 1);

static void OrangutanLCD::showCursor(unsigned char cursorType)

void lcd_show_cursor(unsigned char cursorType)

Displays the cursor as either a blinking or solid block. This library defines literals CURSOR_BLINKING and

CURSOR_SOLID for use as an argument to this method.

static void OrangutanLCD::hideCursor()

void lcd_hide_cursor()

Hides the cursor.

static void OrangutanLCD::moveCursor(unsigned char direction, unsigned char distance)

void lcd_move_cursor(unsigned char direction, unsigned char num)

Moves the cursor left or right by distance spaces. This library defines literals LCD_LEFT and LCD_RIGHT

for use as a direction argument to this method.

static void OrangutanLCD::scroll(unsigned char direction, unsigned char distance , unsigned int

delay_time)

void lcd_scroll(unsigned char direction, unsigned char num, unsigned int delay_time)

Shifts the display left or right by distance spaces, delaying for delay_time milliseconds between each shift.

This library defines literals LCD_LEFT and LCD_RIGHT for use as a direction argument to this method.

Execution does not return from this method until the shift is complete.

static void OrangutanLCD::loadCustomCharacter(const char *picture_ptr, unsigned char number )

void lcd_load_custom_character(const char *picture_ptr, unsigned char number)

Loads a custom character drawing into the memory of the LCD. The parameter ‘number’ is a character value

between 0 and 7, which represents the character that will be customized. That is, lcd.print((char)number) or

print_character(number) will display this drawing in the future.
