Mutiple plugins added

Post by cybergeek »

Hi guys I noticed that on all the plugins you have a config file and you have to replace the original file with the one in the plugin so I was wondering if you replace the plugin installed before that one will the one before not work anymore? So in other words can you only use one plugin?

Config file is for reference only... You can use as many plug-ins as you like! Don't replace your config.ini ... Read it or test it

So the Big number DLL I'm not sure how to use it I got the DLL file in the plugins folder of smartie but I did not add the config file in the root directory of smartie and it does not work. http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/BigNumPlugin.html

:wink: It's called bignum for a reason. It's the short for big number.

try as limbo suggested:

$dll(bignum,1,1,99)
$dll(bignum,1,2,99)

Are you sure that your hardware can display custom characters? Maybe the LCD is not compatible with such function....
