Generic menu/interactivity system for the arduino framework
Full automated or user code driven navigation system. With this system you can define menus, submenus, input fields and other iteration objects that deal with all input/output and can call user defined handler as a result of user iteration. The user function can be operated as a single action called on click/enter or as a event driven function responding to focus In/Out or Enter/Esc events. The system is designed as a non blocking polling system, allowing concurrent task to run. Optionally the system can be operated in semi-automated mode, issuing navigation command from user code.

}- Small footprint on RAM using PROGMEM on system where it is available.
- Wide variety of input/output devices supported.
- Easy to define menus (macros).
- Minimalistic user code base.
- Fields edit values hooked to existing program variables (references).
- Editing text fields with per character validation.
- Fields can edit numeric variables of any type (templates).
- Reflexive fields, showing variable changes done outside the menu system.
- Numerical field edit and range validation.
- Enumerated fields for numeric and non-numeric types
- Customizable (colors and cursors).
- Able to work over Serial stream IO as a base level.
- Supports multiple inputs and outputs in parallel.
- static allocation of RAM, avoiding heap fragmentation, all RAM needed to define menu structure is allocated at program startup.
- events available for menus and prompts
- simply returns when no input available and no needed to draw.
- lazy drawing, only draws when changed, avoiding time consumption and flicking.
- sync/async navigation API functions
- async navigation for stateless clients (as web)
- web interface (experimental)
- can be confined to a display area (numeric fields can still overflow the area, user should take account for them)
- Tested on Arduino AVR's & ARM, Teensy, ESP8266, Esp32, nRF52, STM32
Plugins are particular menu combinations or item customized behaviors and/or drawing.
Some plugins might be platform specific or require some hardware.
- barField - displays a bar for numeric field on LCD
- cancelField - allows to restore previous numeric value on escape.
- SDMenu - full automated SD Card file picker, using standard Arduino SD lib.
- SdFatMenu - full automated SD Card file picker, using standard SdFat (https://github.com/greiman/SdFat).

User defined input calling menu navigation API
Web browser (experimental) when using ESP devices
This library depends on the following libraries:
- streamFlow https://github.com/neu-rah/streamFlow (on debug mode)
Depending on the type of input or output, other libraries might be needed. Essentially any library needed for your devices.
- when using macros the menu is limited to 16 options (current macro limnit).
- menus must have at least 2 options when built using macros.
- maximum 127 options.
- fast access (numeric keys) only supports 9 options (1 to 9)
- prompts can overflow on panels with less than 4 characters width
- menu system is character based, so choose monometric font to achieve best results, it will work with any font but the text can overflow.
- Character based information display.
- Line based menu organization.
- Stream IO + specializations.

Please report errors, problems or enhancement ideas, I apreciate the feedback. Thanks.
On issues report please specify the input and output drivers or devices as well as target platform.
encoder now needs begin() to be called on setup (2.x)
input is read from generic streams, included simple streams for encoders and keyboards - provided encoder driver uses internal pull-ups and reverse logic
multiple stream packing for input to mix encoder stream with encoder keyboard (usually 1 or 2 keys)
- SdFat plugin and example
- EscControl examle
- support Bodmer/TFT_eSPI
- SDCard file picker plugin
- Allow virtual/dynamic data custom menus
- alternative key driver with explicit pin modes
- More examples
- Text edit fields with validation *
- Pad style menus (horizontal list)
- inline pad menus can input custom formats like IP/Date/Time, experimental and just for devices that can position a cursor
- Plugins, alternative menu items potentially device specific
- Allow multiple concurrent menus
- Support UCGLib displays
- Support U8x8 displays
- Support Arduino TFT
- Support PCF8574 I2C LCD
- Support Analog Joystick input
- Added input burst config option
- VALUEOBJ macro, user allocated values
- menuIn class for menu inputs (allows device field invertion) *
- some options have been distributed to some other classes
- allow dynamic menu construction (ram) even for AVR's
invertFieldKeys option removed, invertion is now supported by specific menuIn objects.
regression: still needed to ease simple input cases.
numValueInput moved to menuIn object
navRoot extra options, previously on global options object
bool nav2D=false;//not used
bool canExit=true;//v4.0 moved from global options
bool useUpdateEvent=false;//if false, use enterEvent when field value is changed.
idx_t inputBurst=1;//limit of inputs that can be processed before outputSerial is no longer accepted as an input directly, use serialIn instead
printTo member function changed from:
Used printTo(navRoot&,bool,menuOut&,idx_t,idx_t);to
Used printTo(navRoot&,bool,menuOut&,idx_t,idx_t,idx_t=0);this should only affect customized components
inputs are now from class menuIn, derived from Stream but including flag functions for field axis inversion per input class.
- complete revision of menu control system
- menu structure separated in ram objects and flash objects
- using separate navigation control objects navNode
- central navigation control object navRoot
- using event for all menu objects (focus, blur, enter, exit).
- multiple panels
- color enumeration at base level
- multiple output devices in parallel
- define exit as regular option
- limiting text width to prevent overflow
- support for teensy (tested on 3.2)
- new field type SELECT
- reflexivity, fields reflect external changes to values
- store field strings to progmem
- automatic use of RAM on system without PROGMEM
- action functions now need to return bool (only affects menus)
false = continue menu
true = exit menu
- Support for U8GLib screens
- alternative use ClickEncoder
- using flash memory to store menu strings and lists (PROGMEM)
- non-blocking menu main cycle
- Menufields as menu prompts with associated value values can be: numeric withing range list of values toggled on click (for small lists) list of values selected as submenu (for longer lists)
- PCINT now supports Mega/2560 and possibly others
- basic menu functionality
