LCD: right-aligned values ???

#1 Post by M*I*B » 05 Jul 2019, 19:25

Hi there again,

on a 07S I use a BM280, a lightsensor BH1750FUI and a 4x20 LCD. Temp. and Humity are well formed and takes 5 digits (when the temperature reaches 100 ° C, nobody will be there to read it :lol: ). Pressure are most also takes 7 Digits, somtetimes 6.
But the Lightsensor gives values from 0.00 up to more then 40000.00 LUX. Ok... In nature more then 9000 I don't await but then it jump's arround between 5.00 and 9000.00 ...

At the LCD there is no option to align values on the right side... So if there a way by formulas inside the Options of the Sensor itselfe to say i.e. "If one character before the comma fill with 3 spaces, if 2 before fill with 2 spaces....) ???

I use percent instead of the actual value since 4768 lux doesn't do it for me. I like 1...100% better. But that's me I guess.

That being said. You can do left of right align, can't remember the syntax just now but you need to use rules.

Lets say your task is called "sun" and its value is named "lux" you could do this (in rules)

[sun#lux#R#P2]

To justify the value to the right and add two spaces on the left of the value.

Just as one example.

.. nope ... I'm too dumb for that :cry:

Where I have to insert it? In the Formula-field at the sensor or in the line-field at the display?

If it's not working to add that to those [....] Inside the settings of the LCD task you need to use the LCD command inside rules.

Sleep on it and give it another try another day. Never give up.
