Updated the Adafruit RGB LCD Shield test app with a module system.
It pulls in RTclock which is another library I did for controlling the DS1307 RTC in a sane way (marries stdlib time and the RTC together cleanly). You don't need an RTC to run the example, it'll just use stdlib time instead. This class also maps RTC to system time, so if you loose the RTC the mbed will free run.
Four modules are defined in the modules folder plus the module base class. These examples provide:
- title menu item - time menu item (updates automatically) - date menu item - fake temp menu item
Press select to switch modes: menu->cursor->change
Menu switches menu items going up/down. Cursor allows you to move around editable fields using the cursor keys / marker. Change allows you to move left/right on a particular line and change values by using up/down on an item with the blink box.
Custom fonts are defined for UI arrows and degree character.
If you want a menu item to update over time then you need to implement the canRefresh() member function in any child module you derive from class Module. Make it return true to receive update requests in your show() member function. I've left date not updating over midnight as an exercise for the programmer.
main() registers a table of modules with the MenuManager. Others can be added easily by creating children derived from the Module base class..
Happy coding!
