TVout.h error: invalid conversion from 'char' ....

hi guys, evening :-)

i trying create kind of typewriter effect tvout.h

but error when compiling: error: invalid conversion 'char' 'char*'

i guess trouble library cause serial.print got working fine.

is there work around this?

code: [select]


#include <tvout.h>

tvout tv;
int movevert=0;
int movehorz=0;
char mystring[]={"i wondering why complicated"};


void setup()  {
 tv.start_render(_pal);      
 serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {

movevert=0;
movehorz=0;
tv.clear_screen();
 
//working:
for (unsigned int x = 0; x < strlen(mystring); x++) {
         serial.print(mystring[x]);
         delay(random(200));}
         serial.println(" ");
 
// gives error:
for (unsigned int x = 0; x < strlen(mystring); x++){
    tv.print_str(movehorz,movevert,mystring[x]);      
    movehorz=movehorz+5;
    if (movehorz >= 100) {movevert=8;movehorz=0;}
  delay(random(200));
  }

   
}


the tv.print_str function expects 3rd argument string, not single character. calling function single character, mystring

• , not string, mystring.
