Dragon Board Serial Monitor C Programming menu

[Matthew Wiener]

I am working on my senior project and my currect task is to make a menu. I dont know what the best way to do it. i really do need assistance. my code is not complete and i am completely lost. code found below:

#include <hidef.h> /* common defines and macros */#include "derivative.h" /* derivative-specific definitions */
#include "lcd.h"


#include<menu.h> 
void main(void) {
char *msg1 = "Menu";
char *msg2 = "Alarm ON";
char *msg3 = "Alarm 1";
char *msg4 = "Snooze Enable";
char *msg5 = "Alarm Type";
char *msg6 = "Standard";
char *msg7 = "Cognitive";
char *msg8 = "Lamp Only";
char *msg9 = "Lamp at Alarm";
char *msg10 = "Alarm Set";
char *msg11 = "Display Color";
char *msg12 = "White";
char *msg13 = "Blue";
char *msg14 = "Red";
char *msg15 = "Green";
char *msg16 = "Clock";
char *msg17 = "Manual";
char *msg18 = "Automatic";
char *msg19 = "Time Zone";
char *msg20= "DST";
char *msg21= "Eastern";
char *msg22= "Central";
char *msg23= "Mountain";
char *msg24= "Pacific";
char *msg25= "Lamp Enabled";
char *msg26= "Yes";
char *msg27= "No";
char *msg28= "On";
char *msg29 = "Off";
char *msg30= "Sync Now";
char *msg31= "Hour";
char *msg32= "Min";
char *msg33= "Alarm 2";
openlcd(); // Initialize LCD display


 DDRA = 0;
 
 
 if( PORTA = 2 && 4)
 
 goto  MENU ;
 




 MENU:
 
    puts2lcd(msg1);
    
    put2lcd(0xC0,CMD);  //NEXT LINE ON LCD
 
    puts2lcd(msg3) ;
    
    if (PORTA == 8)  // 4th button
{
      openlcd();
    goto ALARM1;
    
}
    if ( PORTA == 4)  // 3rd button //
     
     {
      
    
    
    
    puts2lcd(msg1);
    
    puts2lcd(msg33) ;
     } 
     
     else (PORTA == 8)  // 4th button
;    {
      
    goto ALARM2;
    
    }
    
    MENU *my_menu
    
    
     
    
    
 
    
 ALARM1:
 
 openlcd();
 
 
 
  
 
 puts2lcd(msg3); // PUT MESSAGE ON BOARD
 
 put2lcd(0xC0,CMD);  //NEXT LINE ON LCD
 
 puts2lcd(msg4);
 
    
}




    
 ALARM2:
 
 openlcd();
 
 
 
  
 
 puts2lcd(msg33); // PUT MESSAGE ON BOARD
 
 put2lcd(0xC0,CMD);  //NEXT LINE ON LCD
 
 puts2lcd(msg4);
 
    
}

here is the pseudo code:

The best way to do make a menu is by using switch statements.

i.e. Wait for input, put input into switch statement

In that case you can have another switch statement for any submenus

[Matthew Wiener]

I thought of using a case but my fear is with a dragon board and my project allows for limited inputs options(5). if there is an option to make a case with using only 5 inputs please give an example.

Your pseudocode isn't pseudocode...

What?

if there is an option to make a case with using only 5 inputs please give an example.

A switch statement can have as many cases as you want (or rather, as many as you can fit in memory)
