Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PT6311 ( PinName  mosi,
PinName  miso,
PinName  sclk,
PinName  cs,
Mode  mode = Grid16_Seg12 
)

Constructor for class for driving Princeton PT6311 VFD controller.

Supports 8 Grids of 20 Segments upto 16 Grids of 12 Segments. Also supports a scanned keyboard of upto 48 keys, 4 switches and 5 LEDs. SPI bus interface device.

Parameters:
PinNamemosi, miso, sclk, cs SPI bus pins
Modeselects either number of Grids and Segments (default 16 Grids, 12 Segments)

Member Function Documentation

void cls (  )

Clear the screen and locate to 0.

Definition at line 63 of file PT6311.cpp.

bool getKeys ( KeyData_t *  keydata )

Read keydata block from PT6311.

Parameters:
*keydataPtr to Array of PT6311_KEY_MEM (=6) bytes for keydata
Returns:
bool keypress True when at least one key was pressed

Note: Due to the hardware configuration the PT6311 key matrix scanner will detect multiple keys pressed at same time, but this may result in some spurious keys also being set in keypress data array. It may be best to ignore all keys in those situations. That option is implemented in this method depending on define setting.

Parameters:
*keydataPtr to Array of PT6311_KEY_MEM (=6) bytes for keydata
Returns:
bool keypress True when at least one key was pressed
