I created a secondary screen page in display manager.
I was asked by the software to create a condition so I did. The condition is to use a push button channel set to "equals / true" .. when I flash the dash and I press the button the page does chance but only remain for as long as I am physically pushing the button. Is there a way to make it more of toggle action so that every time I push such button I switch pages and not have to hold it?

hey guys I wanted to share a quick screen shot.

What you are looking at in the back ground is one of 2 screens I have for the dash. (I would like to have 3 in total)
the Channel for the "Reset Button" is a dig input / low = Active (or true I am guessing)

So as I mentioned, I want to be able to put this button an be able to cycle through my screens.
The way is it now, the screen only changes while I am holding it down.

look at the examples they will use a built-in channel called "Display Page" -- also look in C125 dash manager under the display setup, page selection tab -- it will have some channels that can be automatically created to do "page reset" and page up/down. You have to specify the number of pages so it know when to wrap around...

That might get you going until I can write up a more detailed description for you of how to do this.

The first thing you need to do is to make the buttons control the channels that are on the Display Setup / Page Selection Tab. Make sure the output channel Display Page is created, and the number of pages that you have is correct. Be sure to send the channel "Display Page" to display creator. Here's a picture of that.



Then in display creator, you change the conditions to refer to the Display Page channel. I am including an example from my Lotus Sport customer showing how I created a Logo "splash screen" that displays for the first 10 seconds, before returning to whatever the Display Page happens to be.

Hopefully that will be enough to get you going, otherwise I could send you this display creator project and the C125 config that drives it (just email me if you want that).
