setCursorPos(x, y)

Sets the cursor position. Can be outside the bounds of the connected display.

Parameters

• x: number The cursor x position
• y: number The cursor y position

write(text)

Writes text at the current cursor position, moving the cursor to the end of the text. This only writes to an internal buffer. For the changes to show up on the display update() must be used. If the cursor is outside the bounds of the connected display the text will not show up on the display.

This will overwrite any text currently at cursor position.

Parameters

• text: string Text to write.

See also

• update() To push the changes to the display target.

clearLine()

Clears the line at the current cursor position.

clear()

Clears the whole display.

update()

Pushes any changes to the connected display target. Any changes made are only made to an internal buffer. For them to show up on the display they must be pushed to the display using this function. This allows for this peripheral to be better multithreaded and for users to be able to change multiple lines at once by using multiple write(text) calls and then one update() call.
