Help with the Apache KU display export

[Assamita81]

Hey, I'm trying to get the display loaded into a 16x1 LCD, but I can't get it to work.
If I use this code:

String screenValue;
String AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A;

void screen() {
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print("                ");
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print(screenValue);
}

void onPltKuDisplayChange(char* newValue) {
  screenValue = newValue;
  screen();
}
DcsBios::StringBuffer<22> pltKuDisplayBuffer(AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A, onPltKuDisplayChange);

I get the following error when compiling:

KU-DCS_BIOS:127:91: error: no matching function for call to 'DcsBios::StringBuffer<22>::StringBuffer(String&, void (&)(char*))'
 DcsBios::StringBuffer<22> pltKuDisplayBuffer(AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A, onPltKuDisplayChange);
                                                                                           ^

However, if instead of String, I declare screenValue and AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A as char variables, it doesn't fail to compile, but it doesn't work either.

Can someone help me out?

Why are you calling a separate display routine for such a simple display? Just put it in the "onChange" routine.

Remove all the string stuff, and try this:

void onPltKuDisplayChange(char* newValue) {
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print(" "); // Github removing extra spaces
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print(newValue);
}
DcsBios::StringBuffer<22> pltKuDisplayBuffer(AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A, onPltKuDisplayChange);

Don't forget to remove this part as well:

String AH_64D_PLT_KU_DISPLAY_A;

I think that would override the addresses.h file definition and stop it working.

Hi No1sonuk.
If I do that, I get the following error:

Which version of DCS-BIOS are you using?

[Assamita81]

I downloaded like a week ago, so I assume the latest, but how can I check 100%?

[No1sonuk]

Downloaded from here?
It looks like your addresses.h file is wrong, or your control reference gives the wrong label.
I don't have access to my PC right now.

[Assamita81]

Sorry, I didn't answer. Yes, downloaded from here. I'm not at home now, but I'll try to download the addresses.h file again later.
