how do I limit the display to only display the first four characters of the parameter to level enough space for the value?

Which code base did you use? Which board?

Hi sstaub,

Using arduino nano (clone)

the sketch is this -

https://github.com/ntbutler87/lighthack/blob/master/sketch_sep30a.ino

What I have done is basically the same as this with a modified pcb to connect up a different TFT screen, with a slightly different pinout. I have a couple and the only changes I have made so far are changing which parameters I am wanting to control and in the case of one (I am making 2) I had to rotate the screen 180 as the two tft's are clearly oriented differently on the controller board.

Building it as a improvement on my current controller which is a stock Lighthack Box1 on a uno.

Also I have seen but can't find again a complete list of EOS OSC parameters, if you old point me at that too that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Tom

The problem is that all the "String", TFT, OSC library will consume too much RAM. Try to use another microcontroller like Raspberry Pi Pico (with the Earl E. Philhower Arduino Core and OSC library from the master branch).

It seems to work for the 6 parameters so far.

What will actually happen?

The problem is the defragmentation of the RAM, so you need much more than the 2k which the Nano has.
