Continuing work on reducing the RAM overhead, perhaps by using more compile-time metaprogramming and storing as much data in Flash memory rather than interconnecting/concatenating the tree components at run-time.This second example sketch screenshot shows how to use the menu controller to take an external or internal value as input to the controller, display the current and previous values on a desired menu page, and select a new value and store it to a buffer.On the right the menu-controller node is being fed with the output of a counter, fed by a "clock" node. As currently implemented it accepts a single Number-type input which can be any parameter the user can change from an external control, say a potentiometer or dial on a control panel which represents some parameter that can be changed. We'll go through this XOD patch diagram section by section to explain how everything fits together. There are also two String inputs which can be used to generate a splash screen on the display when the Arduino powers up.Following that node is a stock 16x2 LCD controller module from the XOD environment standard library, but any type of display that a module is available for can be used to display the output text here. For this project a work-around was developed and a set of flash-string type nodes added in the patch to ensure longer strings did not consume precious program RAM. Menu creation Arduino library for LCDs, wraps LiquidCrystal.. LiquidMenu wraps the Arduino's LiquidCrystal library with the ability to create menus.

The default value of menu (0) prints on the LCD "Select Menu Option". The menu is being set to an unknown number, so that it doesn't print anything, and subMenu is set to 1.

The XOD graphical programming IDE for Arduino can simplify the task of rapid-prototyping hardware designs, but as a system grows in complexity there's the issue of user control and information management - how to arrange information about the process being controlled for display and let the user control it in a logical manner. Many designs use a display of some type to give this kind of feedback, even a microwave oven usually has a small screen that allows editing settings and entering cook times, and while too much "menu diving" to access obscure settings can compromise user experience, menu-driven interfaces are a fact of life for projects of all kinds.

This kind of arrangement could be used to control external relays or LED, but Pulse outputs are very general, and the output pulse generated when selecting "Invoke" when accessing a leaf-type menu's screen could be used to do lots of tasks, such as updating an internal XOD buffer-type node where parameter data from the menu controller's parameter-type input port is retained for future use.This set of nodes has been tested and should work OK with the Arduino Uno as-is, but a few issues remain that weren't resolved by this project's deadline.
The value stored in the buffer is displayed on the first line of the LCD.When the menu-controller node receives a "invoke" trigger pulse from the keypad controller, the A-out node outputs the parameter input value from the menu-controller over there, in this case the counter current value, and an "invoked" trigger pulse which activates the buffer's update routine and stores the new parameter the buffer. The second node down fed by the analog input node contains code which decodes the different voltages corresponding to individual keys, and outputs pulse-type triggers depending on which button is pressed. A "timeout" input is provided so an XOD developer can adjust the debounce timeout of the LCD shield keypad to avoid false triggering, adjusted to a particular application's button or switch type.The third node down is a menu controller-type node, which contains code to accept pulse-type triggers from the control panel and handle the logic of the user navigating through the menu tree and making selections that generate state updates of the menu tree.

It should hopefully be somewhat self-explanatory from the diagram how to wire up this set of nodes.Selecting "invoke" when a "branch"-type menu is displayed descends into its associated sub menu group, rather than generating an output as a leaf-type menu does.
