Embedded Multi-Page HMI

[

An embedded page oriented HMI library supporting a few buttons as input and a constraint display as output on embedded devices.

Capabilities

• Predefined Input Models using two, three, four or five buttons or a rotary switch.
• Adaptable to different constraints displays: E.g.
  • alpha-numerical
  • ePaper, Oled via embedded-graphics crate
• Declarative page structure specification and page transition specification
  • Multiple information pages
  • Continuous page updates and page system triggered page transitions
  • Dedicated startup/ shutdown pages
  • Setting menu, submenu and edit pages

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] embedded-multi-page-hmi = "0.2"

Checkout the example how to specify page structures and interaction.

Example

A documented demonstration of all capabilities is maintained as an example in this crate. The example application runs on windows, linux and OSX in a terminal using the pancurses crate.

You can run the example as follow (assuming you have rust installed):

```bash

Get this repository from github

git clone https://github.com/almedso/embedded-multi-page-hmi.git

Future Work

• Edit page for select 1 of many
• Edit page for select multiple of many (list of binary flags)
• Provide examples on raspi with four-button epaper shield
• Move to no-std
  • Replacement for Box with trait objects e.g. RefCell? in page manager
  • Provide example on stmf32 with two-buttons and 16x2 alpha-num display
