display.setcursor
Function Sets the position of the cursor.
Usage There are two ways to use this function:
display.setcursor(row, column)
display.setcursor(row, column, style)
row Set row number for the cursor (1 or 2).
column Set column number for the cursor. For row 1, column can be set
from 1 to 20. For row 2,
column can be set from 1 to 32.
style Set cursor style to be invisible (0) or blink (1).
Remarks
• Sending this command selects the user screen and then moves the cursor to the
given location.
• An out of range parameter for row will set the cursor to row 2. An out of range
parameter for
column will set the cursor to column 20 (for row 1) or 32 (for row 2).
• An out of range parameter for style sets it to 0 (invisible).
• A blinking cursor will only be visible when it is positioned over displayed text. It
cannot be seen when positioned over a space character.
• The display.clear, display.setcursor, and display.settext functions
are overlapped, non-blocking commands. That is, the script will NOT wait for one of
these commands to complete. These non-blocking functions do not immediately update
the display. For performance considerations, they write to a shadow and will update the
display as soon as processing time becomes available.
Details See “Sending keycodes” on Section 14.
