class SpectraSoftPot < ArduinoSketch

  # demonstrate capability to use soft pot as traditional pot
  # the last pot reading remains "locked" to the last touch point
  # similar same behavior as ipod
  #
  # this sketch assumes a pa_lcd operating at 19200 and one 
  # spectra symbol softpot connected to analog pin 3
  # 

  output_pin 5, :as => :my_lcd, :device => :pa_lcd, :rate => 19200, :clear_screen => :true
  input_pin 3, :as => :sensor_one, :device => :spectra


   def setup
     delay 1000
     my_lcd.setxy 0,0, "spectra symbol"
     my_lcd.setxy 0,1, "soft pot"
     delay 5000
     my_lcd.clearscr
   end

   def loop
     my_lcd.setxy 0,1
     # since lcd's have issues clearing tens and hundreds digits when reading ones, 
     # we use pad_int_to_str, which is a hack to display these cleanly
     # pad_int_to_str takes two arguments: an integer and the final string length
     # 
     my_lcd.print pad_int_to_str sensor_one.soft_lock, 3
