Entering Digits - PASSWD sample

This program is a bit more sophisticated to show off how you might go toward creating a complex app.  I have not made any attempts at optimizing the code here in order to be a bit more clear about how to go about writing this type of app.  There are a few new features with this code:

  • We have two different display screens.  When you first enter the app, it puts up one display.  After it times out, it puts up a different display which also has a scrolling message across the bottom.
  • The set button brings you into a set mode where the mode button switches between digits to set.
  • This app uses two state tables instead of one.  It shows how to switch between the two states.

; (9) This subroutine is useful for getting a scrolling string on the screen
;
;----------------------------------------------------------------------
; Routine:
;   SETUP_SCROLL
; Parameters:
;   X - Offset from Start to the string
; Returns:
;   MSGBUF - contains copied string
; Purpose
;   This copies the current string into MSGBUF and calls the appropriate routines
;   to start it scrolling on the bottom line.
;----------------------------------------------------------------------
SETUP_SCROLL:
        clr     SYSTEMP0
        sta     SYSTEMP1
DO_COPY:
        ldx     SYSTEMP1        ; Get the pointer to the source character
        lda     START,X         ; Get the character that we are copying
        ldx     SYSTEMP0        ; Get the pointer to the output buffer
        sta     MSGBUF,X        ; and store the character away
        inc     SYSTEMP0        ; Increment our count
        inc     SYSTEMP1        ; As well as the pointer to the character
        cmp     #SEPARATOR      ; Did we get a terminator character
        bne     DO_COPY         ; No, go back for more
        ;
        ; The string is now in a buffer terminated by a separator character
        ;
        jsr     PUTSCROLLMSG        ; Initialize the scrolling support
        jmp     SCROLLMSG           ; And tell it to actually start scrolling

This is code is built on the Update and Blink samples with a few changes and additions.

  1. Program specific constants - We now have two digits to care about. 
  2. System entry point vectors - Because we have gone to two state tables, we now have the extra jump vector.
  3. Program strings - Gee, we changed the strings.  Plus we have a longer string which we pass to our SETUP_SCROLL routine.
  4. State Table(s) - We now have two state tables.  State table0 is pretty simple and is used only for when we are in the normal state.  State table 1 is usef when we are in the set mode.  See The State Table for a more complete explaination of this.
  5. State Table Handler0 - For state0, we only really need to handle the initial enter where we put up the banner.  After a while we time out and put up the 'PRESS SET' message with my name scrolling across the bottom.
  6. State Table Handler1 - This handler is used for when we are in the SET state for changing the numbers.
  7. Program Specific Code - We use the same UPDATE and BLINK functions from the Blink sample.  The only extra work here is that we cause the display to update the other digit when we are setting one.
  8. Main Initialization routine - No changes here. This is called once when the wristapp is first loaded.  We need to make sure that we set the appropriate bits in WRISTAPP_FLAGS.
  9. SETUP_SCROLL subroutine - This is a useful routine that you may wish to copy for another wristapp.
