There are a few ways this could be approached. One would be that replacement class for the RA8875 stuff. It could have functions that either call the real RA8875 stuff....or don't, depending on a variable. Another thing could be to create a "page" class. Define a page for the main screen, another page for the BIT test screen, another page for the "direct frequency entry" screen, etc etc. You put the TFT stuff in those page classes, and keep doing it until there's no TFT stuff anywhere else. You define methods such that the main program just says "draw the main screen", and the page code takes care of all the decorations. The power of a "page" class like this is that it could make it easy to sluff the display activity off to a second CPU, communicating with the "radio" CPU via I2C or SPI. - Jerry, KF6VB On 2025-04-13 12:28, Terrance Robertson, KN6ZDE via groups.io wrote: On Sun, Apr 13, 2025 at 07:18 AM, Greg KF5N wrote:Regarding modularizing the display code, you can't really take thatYou can fully modularize the display code or even remove it from the |

I have a version of the code that runs without the display at all and another version that runs with an alternate Beacon Monitor display.? ? It's not elegant or clean, but the easiest way to make a display-less version is to create a new RA8875 class where the function bodies are either empty or return the proper value to continue radio operation.? Updating the display plays a large role in regulating the radio operation.? Without this code, things might not work as intended.? I had to insert two delays, one in the main loop and one in the IQ processing loop to prevent data from being sent too quickly to my PC control app.? With different schemes, such as another processor controlling the display, other solutions may be needed. |
