# MicroView Arduino Library

Developed by [Geek Ammo Pty Ltd](http://www.geekammo.com) based on Arduino and other Open Source libraries.  

## Description

Arduino library for MicroView.  

## Required Libraries

1. [Time.h](http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Time.html) NOTE: Only required when using clock/time functions.  For example the MicroViewDemo in the example folder.

## Installation

1. Extract / Check out to Arduino's libraries folder.
2. Start Arduino IDE.
3. MicroView example is located at, File--->Example--->MicroView--->MicroViewDemo

### Example 1 - Hello World!
<pre><code>
#include &lt;MicroView.h&gt;

void setup() {
	uView.begin();
}

void loop() {
	uView.print("HelloWorld");
	uView.display();		// display current page buffer
}
</code></pre>

### Example 2 - Basic Drawing
<pre><code>
#include &lt;MicroView.h&gt;

void setup() {
	uView.begin();
	uView.clear(PAGE);		// clear the page buffer
}

void loop() {
	uView.line(0,0,64,48);
	uView.circle(32,24,10);
	uView.rect(10,10,20,20);
	uView.pixel(50,5);
	uView.setCursor(0,40);
	uView.print(" MicroView");
	uView.display();		// display current page buffer
}
</code></pre>

### Example 3 - Widgets
<pre><code>
#include &lt;MicroView.h&gt;

MicroViewWidget *widget,*widget2;

void setup() {
	uView.begin();
	uView.clear(PAGE);
	widget= new MicroViewGauge(32,30,0,100);  // draw Gauge widget at x=32,y=30,min=0, max=100
	widget2= new MicroViewSlider(0,0,0,100);  // draw Slider widget at x=0,y=0,min=0, max=100
}

void loop() {
	for(int i=0; i&lt;=100;i++) {
		widget->setValue(i);	// give a value to widget
		widget2->setValue(i);
		uView.display();		// display current page buffer
	}
}
</code></pre>

### Example 4 - Communication
<pre><code>
#include &lt;MicroView.h&gt;

void setup() {
  uView.begin();
  uView.clear(PAGE);
}

void loop() {
  uView.checkComm();
}
</code></pre>
