Use casts.
I don't think this is going to work because I have to put the MENWIZ menu structure in setup() so it's a run once thing. If I have dynamic data, such as my room temp that I want to display.
I can see doing this for static double like my PID setpoint.
#include <Wire.h> //INSERT ALL THE LIBARIES AFTER INCLUDING WIRE LIB (MENWIZ request)
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
#include <MENWIZ.h>
#include <PID_v1.h>
#include <PID_v1.h>
// PID setup
const int numSensors = 4; // 4 temp sensors used with PID
double Input[numSensors]; // Arrays of 4 input and output variables
double Output[numSensors];
double Setpoint[numSensors] = {68, 72, 72, 72};
double kp = 3;
double ki = 5;
double kd = .1;
PID Room0(&Input[0], &Output[0], &Setpoint[0], kp, ki, kd, DIRECT);
PID Room1(&Input[1], &Output[1], &Setpoint[1], kp, ki, kd, DIRECT);
PID Room2(&Input[2], &Output[2], &Setpoint[2], kp, ki, kd, DIRECT);
PID Room3(&Input[3], &Output[3], &Setpoint[3], kp, ki, kd, DIRECT);
// Create global object for menu and lcd
menwiz menu;
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE); // Addr, En, Rw, Rs, d4, d5, d6, d7, backlightpin, polarity 4 x 20 LCD
// analog buttons sample
const int buttonPin = A0; // 6 button switch circuit input connected to analog pin 0
boolean buttonBlock = 0;
boolean buttonAct = 0; // flag 1
boolean stopMenu = 0; // flag 2
byte buttonPressed = 0; // which button was pressed
byte lastButtonPressed = 0; // prev button pressed
int buttonValue = 0; // read value from analog port for the 4 navigation pushbuttons
long menuOffTime = 0; //used for timer
extern byte MW_navbtn; //needed to run the software key navigation in Menwiz
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("The Midway Zone Heat Control");
//++++++++++++++++++++Menu and LCD
char b[84];
_menu *r,*s1,*s2;
float room0SP = (float) Setpoint[0]; // cast operator
// initialize the menu object ( 2 x rows x 16 columns LCD)
menu.begin(&lcd,16,2);
menu.addUsrNav(navMenu, 6);
MW_navbtn=6; // force 4 or 6 buttons mode for menu navigation -> MW_navbtn=4; or MW_navbtn=6;
//create the menu tree
r=menu.addMenu(MW_ROOT,NULL,F("MAIN MENU")); //create a root menu at first (required)
//---------------
s1=menu.addMenu(MW_SUBMENU,r,F("VIEW ROOM INFO"));
s2->addItem(MW_LIST,F("SETPOINTS")); //create a variable of type "option list"..
s2->addItem(MW_LIST,F("MASTER BEDROOM")); //add option to the OPTION LIST
// s2->addVar(MW_AUTO_FLOAT,Setpoint[0], 65, 75, 1);
}
void loop()
{
// NAVIGATION MANAGEMENT & DRAWING ON LCD. NOT BLOCKING has to be the first in the void loop
menu.draw();
navMenu();
}
int navMenu() //
{
/*
As soon as a button is pushed the first time flag 1 is set to HIGH and if the buttonnumber is not 0 then a timer is started.
The menu action then should only be performed once.
After 2000 msecs the flag will be set to LOW and a new buttonpush can be processed.
Menu action is blocked for 2000 msec even if the same button is being kept pressed for 2000 msecs by flag2.
*/
long menublockTime = millis();
if (buttonAct == 1 && buttonPressed != 0 && stopMenu == 0) // we have a state were we process a menu navigation step once and block it for 2 secs
{
// digitalWrite(led13Pin,HIGH); // set timer led ON
menuOffTime = menublockTime + 2000; //start the timer. You can change this blocking time to your convenience but do not make it lower aa 200 msecs
stopMenu = 1;
switch (buttonPressed)
{
case 1: // Right
return MW_BTR;
break;
case 2: // Up
return MW_BTU;
break;
case 3: // Down
return MW_BTD;
break;
case 4: // Left
return MW_BTL;
break;
case 5: // Select or Confirm
return MW_BTC;
break;
case 6: // Escape NOT USED
return MW_BTE;
break;
}
}
if (menuOffTime != 0 && menublockTime > menuOffTime) // Reset of the timer so a new menu action can be processed
{
buttonAct = 0; // resets the flag 1
buttonPressed = 0;
menuOffTime = 0; // resets timer to zero
stopMenu = 0;
}
}
If I wanted to display dynamic data I would have to use the cast operator at the end of the loop() and I assume that when menu.draw(); runs it will pull in the data. Am I thinking correctly?
