---+ Plex and !I2C Words

=oled-emit= works like the standard word =emit=. It blocks the calling thread, as long as the character is not written to the OLED display (less than 300 us for a 6x8 character and 400 kHz !I2C). Horizontal (x) position is in pixel (0 to 127), vertical position (y) is in lines, a line consists of 8 pixels. Larger fonts takes more than one line.

<pre>
plex-emit    ( Char -- )        Emits a character (writes a character to the OLED display)
plex-emit?   ( -- Flag )        OLED ready to get a character (I2C not busy)

hook-emit    ( -- a-addr )      Hooks for redirecting terminal IO on the fly
hook-emit?   ( -- a-addr )    

plexpos!     ( x -- )           Set Plex cursor position, 
                                x horizontal position, for 6x8 font max. (15 / 6) -1, depends on the font's x size 
plexpos@     (  -- x )          Get the current Plex cursor position
plexclr      (  --  )           Clears the Plex display, sets the cursor to 0
plexfont     ( u --  )          Select the font, u: 0 6x8, 1 8x8



I2Cdev       ( u -- )           Sets the 7-bit I2C address
I2Cput       ( c-addr u -- )    c-addr buffer address for the message with lengh u to send
I2Cget       ( c-addr u -- )    c-addr buffer address for the message to receive
I2Cputget    ( a1 u1 a2 u2 -- ) a1 buffer address for the message to send, a2 buffer address for the message to receive

---+ Usage

It is easy to redirect the terminal output to the Plex display, to use the string formatting words.

<pre>
: count-down ( -- )
  plexclr
  hook-emit @    \ save emit hook
 -1 -1 -1 alarm!  \ an alarm every second
  wait-alarm  
  10 0 do
    ['] plex-emit hook-emit ! \ redirect terminal to plex-emit
    i 25 * plexpwm
    0 plexpos!
    10 i - .
    wait-alarm  
  loop
  0 .
  hook-emit !                 \ restore old hook
  cr ." 0 Launch!"
;
</pre>
