[Lcd4linux-devel] Re: test plugin code.

[andy b. <sku...@ho...>]

thanks - I just checked it out again from cvs, and it's all working OK, 
except the test widgets in lcd4linux.conf.sample should look like this:

Widget BarTest {
    class 'Bar'
# test::bar(barno,maxval,startval,delta) - move a test value between 0 and 
max.
# delta= step to change value by each time it's read.
# barno - ten different test bar values can be set up, with barno=0..9
# if delta=0, just returns the value of bar n instead of changing it.
    expression test::bar(0,100,50,1)
    expression2 test::bar(1,100,0,1)
    length 10
    max 100
    direction 'E'
    update 200
    }

Widget BarTestVal {
    class 'Text'
    expression test::bar(0,100,50,0)
    prefix 'Test '
    width 9
    update 200
    }

Widget LightningTest {
    class 'icon'
    speed 500
    visible test::onoff(0)
    bitmap {
        row1 '...***'
        row2 '..***.'
        row3 '.***..'
        row4 '.****.'
        row5 '..**..'
        row6 '.**...'
        row7 '**....'
        row8 '*.....'
    }
}
