Welcome to the fifth and penultimate part of the Bluetooth display series.
In today's part I came up with something special. The idea came to me at a flea market where I wanted to sell some old things. I thought that it would be a good idea not to be able to use the display at home, but to use the display as an "eye catcher" at a flea market. After all, not everyone has such a thing, and I haven't found a similar display in regular trade either. But what should I show on the display at a flea market?
The best thing is a sales sticker! How about messages like: Every CD only xx euros, followed by another message like: Every DVD xx euros. The whole thing looks best as ticker ticker, so the individual letters slowly build up from left to right until the whole message is readable. A real eye-catcher for every flea market! To implement this function, we are now expanding our code to include the "Advertising" function.
We therefore first upload the code extended by the "Advertising" function to our hardware platform:

Ab jetzt ist das Menü um 3 weitere Optionen reicher: ADVERT, ADSEC, und ADMSG. Diese zeigt unser Menü unter „Other“ an:
Als Handyapp empfehle ich zur Bedienung die App „BlueTerm“ die es kostenlos aus dem Google Store zu laden gibt. Um nun die Nachrichten nacheinander automatisch anzeigen zu lassen, ist wie folgt vorzugehen:
Als erstes setzen wir mit dem Befehl ADMSG die Anzahl an Nachrichten von 0 zählend, die nacheinander angezeigt werden sollen. Beispiel: Wir haben in den Bänken 0-2 insges. 3 Nachrichten gespeichert, die angezeigt werden sollen.
Dann geben wir nach dem Befehl ADMSG die Zahl 4 ein. Als Quittierung bekommen wir die Ausgabe: „Value 2 set“.
Danach geben wir den Befehl „ADSEC“ ein gefolgt von einer Zahl zwischen 1 und 255. Dabei steht die eingegebene Zahl für die Anzahl an Sekunden, bis die angezeigte aktuelle Nachricht durch die nächste konfigurierte Nachricht ersetzt wird. Als Beispiel geben wir hier „5“ ein. Als Quittierung bekommen wir auch hier wieder die Ausgabe: „Value 5 set“.
Als letzten Schritt geben wir nun den Befehl „ADVERT“ ein. Nach der Quittierung des Befehls durch „Advertising On“ wird nun immer im Wechsel automatisch die Nachrichten aus den Bänken 0-2 hintereinander anzeigt. Ausschalten lässt sich die Automatik durch erneute Eingabe des Befehls ADVERT oder durch einen druck auf den Nachrichtenwahltaster.
Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim Nachbauen und wie immer bis zum nächsten Mal.
