username 198 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very very cool and thanks for the library! Now would it be possible to transfer some type of bitmap image/graphic to the screen? Possibly from a SD card if in the correct format? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Sure, why not. There is a place for SD card socket on my booster pack, so once I get my hands on one... In the mean time, I will be adding memory functions that will allow transfer of images from a computer. When it comes to image format, TIFF is the easiest to work with, then PNG.

bluehash 1,581 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Pretty one Rob. I sent you an email about the boards a few days back for some info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Updated. The new library can be used with Nokia and JD-T displays. //#define PCF8833 // use for 6100 //#define SPFD54124B // use for 6085 and 6101 //#define ST7735R // use for JD-T1800 EDIT: updated files at 1:00pm EST, improved ST7735 colors.

username 198 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thanks as always RobG! Amazing work. Interesting note on this, acouple months back I bought some displays and this code worked flawlessly on them. Now recently, I got a batch of new displays and this code would fail 50% of the time. I tried increasing some of the delays which seemed to fix the issue. Just a note to anyone else that may experience the same issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Which display? I have had similar issue with JD-T and I think I fixed it by adding soft reset. In any case, I will be posting updated library in few days (fixes and support for 2.2" display.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
username 198 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Which display? I have had similar issue with JD-T and I think I fixed it by adding soft reset. In any case, I will be posting updated library in few days (fixes and support for 2.2" display.) Yup, its still with the JD-T, mind showing how you implemented that soft reset? My added delay still doesn't fix it %100 of the time. Can't figure out for the life of me why it sometimes fails to init. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 This is what I have. If you still have problems, add delay(50) before SWRESET and see if that helps. ... writeCommand(SWRESET); delay(20); writeCommand(SLEEPOUT); delay(20); ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Anyone else doing much with the Color LCD booster pack? I ported over most of the Adafruit graphics library. Still sorting out drawing a bitmap. It works in single color but nothing multicolor yet. I also want to make better "rounded rectangles" as well -this needs a better arc function. There was an incident with the display after wrapping a usb cable to it with a rubber band. Broke most of the solder joints on the ribbon cable. So, while repairing that, I also cut the traces for SCE on 1.2 and moved it to 1.0. You can just see the 26g wire making the connection at 1.0.

bluehash 1,581 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Stellaris robot looks interested. What panavise is that? Also.. alot of people have it as the kits are out off stock again. Rob just sent me 20 kits a few days back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yeah, that evalbot gets into all my projects. Best dev board yet. Wish I could grab another at the $25 price from a while back. The Panavise is the 201 with the 'speed handle'. I'm tempted to grab the last LCD kit you have in stock...

RobG 1,892 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Just FYI. In a couple of weeks, I will be updating this library with the following: support for HX8340 (2.2" LCD) support for ILI9225 (2.2" LCD with touch panel) landscape/portrait switch most likely G2xxx/F5510 switch, possibly Stellaris LP additional font sizes various fixes and new functions drawRoundRect (rounded rectangle) fillRoundRect drawLogicLine (see picture below) drawLogicLineComp (compressed version of above) multichannel versions of the above two drawGrid, drawGridV, drawGridH, drawTickMarks drawLabel (rect with the text, see buttons in the pic below) drawRoundLabel fillLabel (see rect with "Logic Analyzer") fillRoundLabel Any suggestions? bluehash, larsie, Nytblade and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Will the Stellaris LP support Stellarisware and the Stellaris Graphics Library? May not need much work to set up the StellarisLP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
igor 163 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 On the library update - if you are adding additional font bitmaps for larger text (rather than just scaling existing one) could consider adding facility to select which parts of the font you actually need. (e.g. if one only needs digits in large size, don't include all the bitmaps for the letters). Might be able to do this with a few symbol definitions/ifdefs to cover major blocks of data (e.g. Digits, Uppercase, Lowercase) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
