I2C LCD1602 Not displaying the second screen and Process Aborted Error when doing the TPoint calabration

[Igor Hodoba]

Hi Robert,
First of all I would like to thank you very much for the most wonderful project. It is owesome!!!
I have build the focuser for my Explore Scientific ED80 based on the L298N shield using the Arduino Uno device. I have enabled temperature probe and this is displaying the corect temperature and position within the TheSkyX Pro using the ASCOM driver. I do not use any other options. There is only one minor issue with TheSkyX here, when plate solving (Tpoint run), i get an infrequent error of "Process Aborted" but if I select to continue with the run it works ok. Just wondering if you know what this is as its not apparent when I run my Moonlight Focuser on the Esprit 150 in both Moonlight and ASCOM configuration. My mount is Paramount MyT.
Also problem two is of greater significance, I cannot enable the second screen on the IC2 LCD1602 . The first screen displays ok, all of the parameters are there and it updates all of the fields.
I had a look at this part of the code but can't edentify anything wrong. Should I be looking elsewhere for the problem?, code below:

ifdef LCDDISPLAY

// see if the display needs updating
long newdisplaytimestampNotMoving = millis();
if ( ((newdisplaytimestampNotMoving - olddisplaytimestampNotMoving) > myfocuser.updatedisplayintervalNotMoving) || (newdisplaytimestampNotMoving < olddisplaytimestampNotMoving) )
{
  olddisplaytimestampNotMoving = newdisplaytimestampNotMoving;    // update the timestamp
  lcd.clear();
  if ( MYLCDTYPE == LCD1602 )
  {
    if ( LCD1602Screen == 1 )
      displaylcdpage1();
    else
      displaylcdpage2();
  }
  else
  {
    displaylcd2004();     // update the LCD 2204 display
  }
}

Many thanks and best regards,

Recent updates to the SKyX are causing issues.
The next firmware release should, along with the new ascom driver, fix this.

The portion of the code you refer to is in Firmware 265.
You need to make these changes

  if ( MYLCDTYPE == LCD1602 )
  {
    if ( LCD1602Screen == 1 )
    {
      displaylcdpage1();
      LCD1602Screen = 2;
    }
    else
    {
      displaylcdpage2();
      LCD1602Screen = 1;
    }
  }

  Firmware 268 will be avaialble soon

Hi Robert
Many thanks for a quick reply. The problem with the I2C LCD1602 display has been fixed with the code that you had provided. I shall wait for the TheSkyX fix.
Best Regards,
Igor
