Since Delphi does not support multiple return values directly, we use the
out keyword to return multiple values from a function.
All functions and procedures listed below are thread-safe.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: |
|
Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:
lcd128x64 := TBrickletLCD128x64.Create('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', ipcon);
This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|
Writes pixels to the specified window.
The pixels are written into the window line by line top to bottom and each line is written from left to right.
If automatic draw is enabled (default) the pixels are directly written to the screen. Only pixels that have actually changed are updated on the screen, the rest stays the same.
If automatic draw is disabled the pixels are written to an internal buffer and
the buffer is transferred to the display only after DrawBufferedFrame
is called. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in
multiple steps.
Automatic draw can be configured with the SetDisplayConfiguration
function.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: |
|
Reads pixels from the specified window.
The pixels are read from the window line by line top to bottom and each line is read from left to right.
If automatic draw is enabled (default) the pixels that are read are always the same that are shown on the display.
If automatic draw is disabled the pixels are read from the internal buffer
(see DrawBufferedFrame).
Automatic draw can be configured with the SetDisplayConfiguration
function.
Clears the complete content of the display.
If automatic draw is enabled (default) the pixels are directly cleared.
If automatic draw is disabled the the internal buffer is cleared and
the buffer is transferred to the display only after DrawBufferedFrame
is called. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in
multiple steps.
Automatic draw can be configured with the SetDisplayConfiguration
function.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|
Writes text to a specific line with a specific position.
For example: (1, 10, "Hello") will write Hello in the middle of the second line of the display.
The display uses a special 5x7 pixel charset. You can view the characters of the charset in Brick Viewer.
If automatic draw is enabled (default) the text is directly written to the screen. Only pixels that have actually changed are updated on the screen, the rest stays the same.
If automatic draw is disabled the text is written to an internal buffer and
the buffer is transferred to the display only after DrawBufferedFrame
is called. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in
multiple steps.
Automatic draw can be configured with the SetDisplayConfiguration
function.
This function is a 1:1 replacement for the function with the same name
in the LCD 20x4 Bricklet. You can draw text at a specific pixel position
and with different font sizes with the DrawText function.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|
Draws the currently buffered frame. Normally each call of WritePixels and
WriteLine draws directly onto the display. If you turn automatic draw off
(SetDisplayConfiguration), the data is written in an internal buffer and
only transferred to the display by calling this function. This can be used to
avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in multiple steps.
Set the force complete redraw to true to redraw the whole display instead of only the changed parts. Normally it should not be necessary to set this to true. It may only become necessary in case of stuck pixels because of errors.
| Output Parameters: |
|
|---|
Returns the last valid touch position:
Pressure: Amount of pressure applied by the user
X: Touch position on x-axis
Y: Touch position on y-axis
Age: Age of touch press (how long ago it was)
| Output Parameters: |
|
|---|
Returns one of four touch gestures that can be automatically detected by the Bricklet.
The gestures are swipes from left to right, right to left, top to bottom and bottom to top.
Additionally to the gestures a vector with a start and end position of the gesture is provided. You can use this vector do determine a more exact location of the gesture (e.g. the swipe from top to bottom was on the left or right part of the screen).
The age parameter corresponds to the age of gesture (how long ago it was).
The following constants are available for this function:

The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.
Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.
After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!
| Output Parameters: |
|
|---|
Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.
The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.
The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done by assigning a procedure to an callback property of the device object:
procedure TExample.MyCallback(sender: TBrickletLCD128x64; const value: longint); begin WriteLn(Format('Value: %d', [value])); end; lcd128x64.OnExample := {$ifdef FPC}@{$endif}example.MyCallback;
The available callback properties and their parameter types are described below.
Note
Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.

Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.
For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled,
because those functions will always send a response. For callback configuration
functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by
SetResponseExpected. For setter functions it is disabled by default
and can be enabled.
Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.
