Let's Control It

Hi,

I search for a Solution to add °C to my scrolling Text on a 8x8 7219 Dot Matrix. I will use this in regular Rules Programm.

I try a lot of different Phrase but nothing works.

This is an example:

DotMatrix,settxt,1,'Pool: [Sens#Temp]&deg'

Can anyone help me?

regards Bison

Of the available fonts, only the Extended ASCII font supports the degree symbol. Depending on the build you're using, this font may or may not be included, you can check that in the Font dropdown list.
The font overview shows what ASCII character to use for making it visible.

Hi,

I activate the extend ASCII 2 with this command

DotMatrix,font,1,4
DotMatrix,settxt,1,'Pool: [Sens#TEmp].&degC'
DotMatrix,pause,1,10000

Well, "&deg" is not the way to get that degree symbol shown, you should put the ASCII character 186 there: º
Possibly using {D} could work, don't have a display at hand to test, ATM.

How can I do this in Rules?

No Solution.

Good Night an Thanks

@bison00 I did some digging into the library code, and in the default font, despite what's listed in the documentation, the degree symbol is at ascii character 176, so if you use that '░' as a literal character in your rules, you should get the degree displayed (untested, matching hardware is temporarily stored away).
