I am working on gas meter. Prepare of wprking electronics it was piece of cake. now the problems starts.
I am going to add profesional look to the meter, so I have to make proper menu. It should be multilangual menu, with multilevel, easy navigation, password protected areas etc.
I've decided to use Noritake VFD display with 2 lines, with possibility to increase to whole display, and graphics. In each line there should be possibility to display different, user selectable parameters.
I am wondering what would be the easiest way to program such menu. I am thinking about structure for each menu element with pointers to string/data to display, and reaction for buttons, or maybe it would be easier to make button navigation structure with pointers to menu elements. Or maybe there is any easier way?
I have no experience in so complicated menu, and I am afraid about amount of memory necessery for menu.
I would be gratefull for any ideas, or examples

Best regards
KamW
