The LCD panel can display a variety of messages and textures. To access its settings, select it and pressing the 'T' or 'K' key. Selecting it and pressing "K", the "K-menu" is entered.

The panel's title and text can be made public, private, or a combination of both. Textures applied can be selected from a list or custom textures can be selected. Textures can be set to rotate on a timer, changing from one to the next.

GPS coordinates shown in the GPS format in the text panel will appear in the GPS and can be activated (=shown on HUD).


Use with the programmable block

The LCD Panel could be accessed with the programmable block as IMyTextPanel. It could work in ´Texture Mode´ in which the selected textures are shown or the ´Text Mode´ in which the text is shown. The following methods are available:[1]

Method Description
bool WritePublicText(String value, bool append = false) Writes value to the public text field. If append is true then the value is appended to the end of the current text.
String GetPublicText() Returns the current content of the public text field.
bool WritePublicTitle(String value, bool append = false) Sets the public title to value. If append is true then the value is appended to the end of the current title.
String GetPublicTitle() Returns the current public title.
void AddImageToSelection(String id) Adds an image/texture to the end of the list of selected textures. If no image/texture with the name id exists the texture ´Offline´ is added instead.
void AddImagesToSelection(List<String> ids) Adds the images/textures to the end of the list of selected textures. If no image/texture with the name id exists the texture ´Offline´ is added instead.
void ShowPublicTextOnScreen() Enables the text to be shown.
void ShowTextureOnScreen() Enables the textures to be shown.
