Description Create a directory on the SD card. This will also create any intermediate directories that don’t already exists; e.g. SD.mkdir("a/b/c") will create a, a/b, and a/b/c. Syntax SD.mkdir(dir_name) Parameters dir_name: the name of the directory to create, with sub-directories separated by forward-slashes, / Returns true if the creation of the directory succeeded, false if […]

Description Tests whether a file or directory exists on the SD card. Syntax SD.exists(filename) Parameters filename: the name of the file to test for existence, which can include directories (delimited by forward-slashes, /) Returns true if the file or directory exists, false if not Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a […]

Description Initializes the SD library and card. Syntax SD.begin() SD.begin(cspin) Parameters cspin (optional): this parameter is unused on 86Duino, and is reserved here just for the purpose of compatibility to Arduino’s SD library. Returns true on success; false on failure Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a modification of the Arduino […]

Description Create a custom character (gylph) for use on the LCD. Up to eight characters of 5×8 pixels are supported (numbered 0 to 7). The appearance of each custom character is specified by an array of eight bytes, one for each row. The five least significant bits of each byte determine the pixels in that […]

Description Set the direction for text written to the LCD to right-to-left (the default is left-to-right). This means that subsequent characters written to the display will go from right to left, but does not affect previously-output text. Syntax lcd.rightToLeft() Parameters lcd: a variable of type LiquidCrystal See also － leftToRight() Libraries Reference Home The text […]

Description Set the direction for text written to the LCD to left-to-right, the default. This means that subsequent characters written to the display will go from left to right, but does not affect previously-output text. Syntax lcd.leftToRight() Parameters lcd: a variable of type LiquidCrystal See also － rightToLeft() Libraries Reference Home The text of the […]

Description Turns on automatic scrolling of the LCD. This causes each character output to the display to push previous characters over by one space. If the current text direction is left-to-right (the default), the display scrolls to the left; if the current direction is right-to-left, the display scrolls to the right. This has the effect […]

Description Scrolls the contents of the display (text and cursor) one space to the right. Syntax lcd.scrollDisplayRight() Parameters lcd: a variable of type LiquidCrystal Example － scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight() from the Arduino Tutorial See also － scrollDisplayLeft() Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a modification of the Arduino reference, and is […]
