Sprinkler Control 3: Status on LCD

Loading...

This project expands on the previous application by adding status messages displayed on the LCD. For this to work, you must have the TPS2L(G2) device -- only this model has the LCD (and keypad).

To display messages on the LCD, first configure the screen in the LCD for TPP2 page under the Features tab by adding an LCD Text Widget. Set properties like font size, color, and text alignment during creation, then position and resize the widget directly in the screen preview.

Once set up, you can update the widget’s text directly with the LCD Text Widget block—no need to reconfigure its properties.
