options->invertFieldKeys
Up command increases the selected item index, if you are using buttons or custom navigation you might have to switch up/down commands for them to make sense from your input perspective. However some input methods require numeric field values to increase/decrease in reverse order. In that case you can set
options->invertFieldKeys to either true or false to match your expectations.
nav.showTitle=false
use on setup, assuming that navigation root object is nav. This is a dynamic property can be set at runtime (any time) and will hide titles for all menus on the root tree. Local menu setting can reverse this, either to hide or to show the title.
Even though this is a non-blocking system, this menu still needs time slices to do IO. Some time critical parallel tasks, like updating direct wired 7-segment displays, might experience some flicking while the menu is being used. This can be mitigated by starting with a suspended menu and by exiting the menu after it has been used.
More critical systems like steppers can prevent all menu IO by not calling the menu poll or IO functions, but for these cases a timer is recommended.
nav.node()return a (navNode) navigation level controller object, see navigation
nav.active()returns a menuNode object, the menuNode is a menu prompt that can receive keys/comands and has an optional associated action
Can be a menu/sub-menu or any kind of field.
nav.node().selreturn the index of the selected option
nav.node()[idx]return a prompt object representing the indexed option
nav.selected()return a prompt object representing the current selected option
on setup do:
nav.idleOn(user_function);//this menu will start on idle state, press select to enter menususpended menu will resume when pressing select
Also you can have any other suspension method because the menu is executed only when one of its IO functions is called (poll/doInput/doOutput). So if it's not calling them, there is no menu.
on setup function:
options->canExit=false;Also you can provide an alternative config options setting, with that options already set to false.
nav.doNav(navCmd(idxCmd,0))The menu does not store values (maybe some backups) instead it uses existing values from your code, so you already have access to field values. The menu system will change the variable value when needed.
example:
//outside setup or loop
int percent=0;
...
//on menu definition
FIELD(percent,"Power","%",...)
...
//when you want the value just use the variable
//in example, for printing
Serial.print("my percent value:");
Serial.println(percent);
