I’ve been trying to implement code to switch the data displayed on the controller LCD screen based upon a button press to switch context. I currently have a simple example attached which allows you to cycle through a couple display formats if you press ‘Button Down’ on the control, I seem to not …

No, clear screen is messed up. Part of the problem is that the controller uses proportional text, 20 spaces doesn’t cover 20 characters of other types, but there are also bugs in that area that need addressing. I’ll see what we can do about it for the next vexos release.

a. It seems you’re missing the build file in that download b. It would be much easier to select all(Ctrl + A), copy(Ctrl + C), then paste(Ctrl + V) it in here.

I was able to download → extract and build on my other computer, but I don’t have the robot there. I used the export function on purpose as it is supposed to capture all the necessary files. The project I ‘simplified’ from has an external ‘shared code’ .cpp and .h files for code I want to write o…

@fretless_kb Today’s vexos and VEXcode release should solve the issues you were having with clearScreen on the V5 controller.

Yes, indeed once I updated the Brain and Controller the fix resolves the issue. I did not initially update the devices, I just downloaded and re-installed the VexPro S/W. Since I didn’t notice any warnings the Firmware needed an update I didn’t even think of it till you pointed it out. So out of da…
