LCD widget not working.

[mayankraichura]

I have an LCD widget that I'm setting via V10. In NodeRed, I'm sending values via function node as follows

return {
    text1: msg.payload.svalue1,
    text:"Motor",
    clear: true
}

and here is the debug output

{
    "text1": "Not Empty",
    "text": "Motor",
    "clear": true,
    "_msgid": "9d522536.c9d2e8"
}

However, LCD is not updated. Can you please confirm this?

Not right!! You must send a msg object

msg.clear = true
msg.text = "Hello"
msg.y=0 //optional
msg.x=5 //optional

msg.text1 = "World"
msg.y1=1 //optional
msg.x1=6 //optional
return msg;

some example flow:

Thanks. That worked!!! I thought returning a new object would create a new msg object (from the _msgid being automatically assigned to that object). However, I am wrong here, I guess. Thanks anyway.
