EVM430-FR6043: Editing LCD Code for DToF Only Display

Part Number: EVM430-FR6043

Hi:  I'm using the EVM430-FR6043, and I have a question, about modifying LCD function....

I would like the EVM, when it boots up, to have the LCD enabled. 

Looking at the attached code snippet, from lcd-statemachine.c , it looks like the lcd starts out in "sleep" mode (I assume the LCD is already Enabled, but in sleep mode)....

I was thinking, if I insert a line of code....line No 292.5.....

g_lcd_statemachine.current_state = 3;

This will, take it out of "sleep mode", and also display dTOF continuously

Would this be a good idea, or is there a better suggestion ?

Any advise would be appreciated,

regards,

Doug

  • Hi Doug,

    Before I answer your question, I would like to ask you a favor: Could you please utilize more descriptive titles for your questions? Using descriptive titles helps other customers find threads that solve the problems they are working on. When you use a descriptive title, someone else who is having the same issue can solve it without making a new post, saving them time, and saving us time. We would appreciate it if you could start doing this. I am planning to go back to change the titles of some of your old posts to improve searchability.

    Now to actually answer your question:

    I think that your proposed solution should work just fine. You may want to go in and remove the other parts of the code that reassign the value of g_lcd_statemachine.current_state, but with the implementation you described I don't think that is needed, it would just look cleaner. I haven't tried this myself so please let me know if this is successful.
