In anticipation of my TextLCD 8/8/8 showing up today I teried to do some testing using the TextLCD emulator. I just could not sem to get the hang of this.
I set up the assignment in the fs2phidgets program so that row 1 was to show the radio frequency of the Com1 radio. I checked in the FS assignments pop-up and the radio assignemt looked correct.
Also later tried it for the compass dircetion.
In the lowere screen that shows the assignments the values seemed to appear correctly. But on the little window that showed the "fake" TextLCD screen instead of digits showing up....... the display has a series of what looked like heiroglyphs or the characters from the "dingbats" type fonts.
Do the Phidgets emulators require a specific font be installed on a machine? If so .... what one.
If it is not that that I am experienceing..... what am I doing wrong?
best,
