Ability to automatically cycle through different screens #44

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Having the ability to automatically cycle through different screens would give 
a huge incrase in usability. Displayed info can be bigger and easier to read.

I think the simplest way to implement this would be to make all your different 
screens, then make a "master" screen which just lists the screens you want to 
display and has a time limit for each screen.

I suppose I could add a "timed loader" object that you could add to each layout 
with a timeout and a layout it then loads.

You would still need to daisy-chain them yourself.

Would this meet your requirements?

This also assumes SR has no plans to implement this behaviour himself any time 
soon.

I think any setup which gives us this functionality would be a huge bonus.  If 
you want 10 different screen you can have them :)

Are you thinking:

Layout 1 (timed loader set for x min, then auto loads Layout 2)
Layout 2 (timed loader set for x min, then auto loads Layout 3)
Layout 3 (timed loader set for x min, then auto loads Layout 1) for example....

Added in v0.4 which LCDHost should updated you to automatically.

Add a "Quick Action" but instead of assigning a shortcut key, set the timeout 
and enable "auto trigger". Make sure you save the layout as when it loads 
unsaved changes will be lost!

had a quick cursory look as I am out the door, but it appears to be working 
fine.

AWESOME!
