LCD_DisplayStringLine help

philip-1992
philip-1992 over 11 years ago

So I am trying to display a text file saved on a micro SD CARD on the touch screen. I have altered the example given by ST (FatFs example). One particular command in this example is this: 

 

printf("rc=%u FR_%s\n\r", (UINT)rc, str);

 

and so I altered it so as to be displayed on the LCD to:


LCD_DisplayStringLine (Line2, "rc=%u FR_%s", (UINT)rc, str);

 

However since the variable rc is not of type uint8, I am getting an error of: Error[Pe140]: too many arguments in function call. Is there another command that I can use or another solution?


Thanks for all you help and support

    can you give LCD_StringLine() function prototype ? ( i don't use ST library, so i need to know before answering)

     

    if you have u8 and you need string
    use :
    char buffer[512];

    sprintf(buffer,"%d",u8);
    and use buffer to print string on screen

    void LCD_DisplayStringLine(uint16_t Line, uint8_t *ptr)

    {

      uint16_t refcolumn = 0;

     

     

      /* Send the string character by character on lCD */

      while (*ptr != 0)

      {

        /* Display one character on LCD */

        LCD_DisplayChar(Line, refcolumn, *ptr);

        /* Decrement the column position by 16 */

        refcolumn += LCD_Currentfonts->Width;

              if (refcolumn >= LCD_PIXEL_WIDTH) {

                        break;

              }

        /* Point on the next character */

        ptr++;

      }

    }

    i guess char is same as u8.

     

    So you need to print data to char.


    I don't know what format is data, is it f32,u16,long? . So sprintf is needed

     

    LCD_DisplayStringLine (Line2, str); (not 3 parameters, but two)
