While I don't have any examples of converting an int to a string you should be able to use the standard C function <strong>itoa </strong>(example - http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/itoa/). As for the updating of the text, try drawing over the text that needs to be updated using the colour of the background, this should effectively "blank" the text. Then you can just write the new value on top. For example, if you have a black background and you want to replace a 1 with a 2, then you can just draw a black "1" followed by a white "2" in the same position using the text drawing function.

Then you can just write the new value on top. For example, if you have a black background and you want to replace a 1 with a 2, then you can just draw a black “1″ followed by a white “2″ in the same position using the text drawing function.

Your library it is very very very cool! I love to work with it. I have one question about... I am trying to get the varTemp of my thermistor and display it on vga picaso. But i can´t find the way to convert a int to string... Do you have any demo? One more thing... I'm trying to show the unformated string "'h''u''m''i''d''i''t''y''-''f''l''o''w''e''r''s''1'" at a moment... but in another moment i need to show "'h''u''m''i''d''i''t''y''-''f''l''o''w''e''r''s''2'"... I need to clear my screen to write only the character '2' each time? Or have another way to so this? Because if i need to clean up my screen every time, my sketche takes more memory and its a problem for me. Thanks a lot, if you could help me. Sorry about my english, it's very poor. I am brazillian! THX!! Hi! Your library it is very very very cool! I love to work with it.

One more thing… I’m trying to show the unformated string “‘h”u”m”i”d”i”t”y”-”f”l”o”w”e”r”s”1′” at a moment… but in another moment i need to show “‘h”u”m”i”d”i”t”y”-”f”l”o”w”e”r”s”2′”… I need to clear my screen to write only the character ’2′ each time? Or have another way to so this? Because if i need to clean up my screen every time, my sketche takes more memory and its a problem for me.

Thanks a lot, if you could help me.

The only serial functions in the library that need to be changed are in the Init() and Send() functions.

IIRC, as the Mega has 3 serial I/O's this shouldn't be as much of a problem as on the normal Arduinos. The library is available here - http://news.thepotterproject.net/Picaso_hard.zip. Please let me know how it goes so I can update the original library :). Cheers, Jonathan I have created a special version of the Picaso library to use the original hardware serial.

I have looked around the NSS library but didn't find any code supporting atmega 1280, anyway I gues I have used the library with mega before, but I am not so sure. Do you have any further ideas or should I try posting it on arduino forum? cheers Vaclav Hi,
