First make sure that you have previously detected the Brick via Bluetooth through your operating system. Although there is no problem if you haven't done it yet, because the Bluetooth tutorial for the Brick available at http://www.ozeki.hu/index.php?owpn=6065. Then please log in Ozeki 10 and simply click on 'Control Panel' icon you can see on Figure 1 below. With the Control Panel you can access all settings and options. You can add new connections or delete available connections, message routing and you can also configure available ports in your system and watch system details. You will really enjoy that the Control Panel can easily control everything around you.

The connection list is the best way to show all online and offline connections you have installed before. Several LEGO devices will be automatically listed for example battery, LED, LCD and speaker. If your connections list is empty do not panic just check the guide of the Installing Lego connection at http://www.ozeki.hu/index.php?owpn=6067. These connections are built into the Brick. Now you need to use the 'LCD_1' connection. Simply choose it by clicking on the connection name (Figure 2) or the blue 'Details' button next to it.

Select the smiley icon from the chatbox and hit enter (Figure 3). It will be appear on the Brick's display. You can try it with multiple emoticons and texts and see how they are displayed. It is good to know that with the 'fontsize' command you can change the text size and with the 'clean' command you can clear the display. Keep in mind to type 'update' to finalize all commands you have previously sent. To list all available commands please type 'help' to the textbox.

You can send a bitmap image attachments through Ozeki Chat interface. If you want to upload the picture first click on file attachment icon. Now click on the appeared box 'To Add Files Click or Drag' and search the desired picture on your machine. These steps are demonstrated in Figure 4. Note that you can only send 24 bit bitmap images, because this format is supported by the EV3 Brick Display. After sending the picture from Ozeki 10, it will be displayed on the Brick's LCD.

You can check the history of the LCD Display communication by navigating to the 'Event' tab page. On events tab you can see the date and time of the routed message between Ozeki 10 and the LCD Display. By using the 'Event' tab, you can access more detailed data from LCD display, which you can see on Figure 5 below. Here you will find all communication between the LEGO LCD Display and Ozeki 10, unless you have cleared the list or stopped refreshing it by clicking the green bar.
