- Parameters:
-
PinName mosi, miso, sclk, cs SPI bus pins

Member Function Documentation
| int _putc | ( | int | value ) | [protected, virtual] |
Write a single character (Stream implementation)
Definition at line 425 of file PT6311.cpp.
| void clrIcon | ( | Icon | icon ) |
Clr Icon.
- Parameters:
-
Icon icon Enums Icon has Grid position encoded in 8 MSBs, Icon pattern encoded in 16 LSBs
- Returns:
- none
Definition at line 392 of file PT6311.cpp.
| void cls | ( | bool | clrAll = false ) |
Clear the screen and locate to 0.
- Parameters:
-
bool clrAll Clear Icons also (default = false)
Definition at line 344 of file PT6311.cpp.
| void cls | ( | ) | [inherited] |
Clear the screen and locate to 0.
Definition at line 63 of file PT6311.cpp.
| int columns | ( | ) |
Number of screen columns.
- Parameters:
-
none
- Returns:
- columns
Definition at line 336 of file PT6311.cpp.
| bool getKeys | ( | KeyData_t * | keydata ) | [inherited] |
Read keydata block from PT6311.
- Parameters:
-
*keydata Ptr 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.
