Keypad control not working

@kobusven95 

My bad, that should have been setTextColor.

I don't have the MCUFRIEND_kbv include file(s) so I have to #define everything null to compile and I'm rushing so I tend to make a lot of typos (as if I didn't normally make any).

I have removed all the queries and line prints, as well as the duplication after the 3rd call.

You're not quite done yet. The confirmCommand takes care of the confirmation, so the code referring to confkey is no longer required and should be replaced with the new function. 

That is, once confirmCommand has been called, if confirmation was NOT received, then the break should send it to the next level up. If the command has been confirmed, the following code will be executed. So confkey won't even be defined.

I'm sorry, I may be going too fast for you to keep up.

Please tell me if anything we've done so far has confused you and I'll try to slow down and explain it more fully.

I have one more change to suggest. I'll send it shortly but, in the mean time, do ask me any questions about the code I've written or how to implement in your sketch. It is imperative that you understand what's happening, so I definitely want you to ask any questions you have.

@will jip, you have lost me waaaay back, but I am trying to catch up. Just stuck on the void displayInfo

@will, yes, this makes sense now. Busy changing the code. Then I will also do the same for the other lines to be printed.

@kobusven95 

Hold back on changing the code for now. I'm working on replacing the original code with the same stuff updated to using the new modules. I'll hand it over to you later to check that I've done it right, so there's no need for both of us doing the same work.

Please work through the new code, maybe run some tests (I can't because I lack your libraries) to verify that they all work and that you understand all the code. Again, don't hesitate to ask why or how something works (or even why I did something a particular way).

@kobusven95

I tried to verify the code after downloading libraries for,
Keypad.h
MCUFRIEND_kbv.h

files downloaded and installed,

keypad-master.zip
MCUFRIEND_kbv-master.zip

But still got a compile error too large to post.

@will, can I upload it somewhere?

I'll put the updates sketch in here so you'll be able to get it. Still working on it, lots to do.

@will, Ok, I got the error sorted - it wanted it in the same string as the line above.

   displayInfo("Bridge move to","Loco Sched 2 selected",BLACK);
      delay (1000);
   displayInfo("Press C","To Confirm",BLACK);

Here's my version of the "adapted" sketch, it's quite a bit smaller than the original but I can't compile it, so I'll need you to try compiling it and reading it to verify that it does everything it's supposed to and nothing that it's not supposed to.

I've added a new subroutine to handle moving to sheds, so please examine it and ask questions and/or explain to me what's wrong with it.

I have had to make some adjustments to text messages and corrected some grammatical errors, please ensure that these changes are acceptable.

I have to make a big pot of stew now, so I'll be in and out sporadically for a couple of hours.

I named my version ModSet0.ino so that it wouldn't conflict or overwrite your version(s). lease let me know of any compile or runtime errors that you can't figure out. Just drag it to your desktop.

Talk to you later.
