Re: XPL-LCD

Looks fine to me, the device name is up to the developer as long as the
device knows what it means that ok.  As for type why not use input rather
than have a new type called button.

So I would be tempt to go for

Menu1 button 1
device=11
type=input
current=high

Menu2 button 1
device=21
type=input
current=high

i.e. menu#button# just so it makes sense if you do different version with
different numbers of buttons.

Hi Guys
Im starting to do the schematics for my xPL-LCD  and i have a
few i/o available since im using the 16F876........I was thinking of having
a few buttons to send xPL Trigger messages to control stuff.....What i was
thinking of doing is say have maybe 4 buttons to control stuff and also
have
a Menu Button....The Menu button allows you to scroll thru different
menus.....ie lighting control Menu 1....Exstreamer Control Menu
2...etc........

Of course each trigger would have to report a different id depending on
which Menu your in at the time

Menu 1....Lighting
ON /OFF /BRIGHTEN /DIM......

Menu 2...Exstreamer
ON/OFF/VOL UP/VOL DOWN

Pressing Button 1 when in Menu 1 would send the  following trig message
device=button_1
type=button
current=on

Pressing Button 1 when in Menu 2 would send the  following trig message
device=button_5
type=button
current=on

Pressing Button 1 when in Menu 3 would send the  following trig message
device=button_9
type=button
current=on

ETC.......Is this allowable...?????............
