Hi Everyone.
In the past I could use the TEXT field to write a batt voltage but this field does not exist anymore.
Did anybody recently used this and found a work around?
I did ask on the Remotexy forum , almost 24hrs now with 8 views and no replies.
There used to be a TEXT option in this part.
I don't know what you are talking about but from your screen grab this widget
or that one
would seem appropriate to write something on the screen ....
Thanks, I have tried them both.
The Remotexy Help pages is very out dated, this is all I could find.
String and Value is never explained anywhere.
looking at th web site, the "new RemoteXY library version 3.1.6" for Arduino" dates back from June 4, 2021...
I had never heard of them and l given the lack of recent updates and/or community engagement, it is possible that the RemoteXY project is no longer actively maintained...
May be that's a sign you should not spend time there.
There is some activity movement.
In Aug 2024 I needed to upgrade the Library due to changes on the Webb editor.
This week I had to upgrade my phone app to make a new project work and to find out that the TEXT field is removed.
What is a good recommended alternative?
what do you want to achieve ?
Arduino IOT might be an option if you want to stay within the Arduino's ecosystem
Do the same as what I have done with Remotexy.
1.Control a few relays and read the batt voltage .. not thru the Cloud but as a direct WiFi access point.
2.Same as above but thru the WiFi from any where.
I am busy with the Arduino Cloud for the last 2+ hours.
Getting started is very hard there is so many web pages with links to other pages and again links to more web pages.
I did manage to setup a cloud Thing ... but how do I download the code to my board???
Very simple 1 button with 1 led.
The code does compile in the Cloud editor.
That said I should start a NEW Topic for this.
Yes
There are basic tutorials to follow (many on YouTube if you are more a visual learner) and you can use the local IDE
In the editor , select Indications , Value box , place on the GUI , .....RHSide menu , select String , write Text ,adjust colors etc,etc
Thanks it works now , I must have missed something .
I tried so many options that I got myself confused.
