Basic EVE Arduino UNO Example Code

Written for an EVE2 or EVE3 or EVE4 running on an Arduino UNO.

This code when executed will display MATRIX ORBITAL text and a circle switching between blue and red .

This code will illustrate:

• EVE initilization
• Set colour
• Draw blue and red circle
• Write text

please note, this example does not utilize touch

IMPORTANT

1. Download and rename the directory from Basic-EVE-Demo-Arduino-master to Basic-EVE-Demo-Arduino

2. Load the INO project

3. Configure the display. The example is configured for a 5.0", to change the display used edit:

Eve2_81x.h --> // Panel specific setup parameters, SELECT THE SIZE DISPLAY, the settings work for EVE2, EVE3 and EVE4 displays.

//User selectable configurations.
//#define EVE2_70
#define EVE2_50
//#define EVE2_43
//#define EVE2_38
//#define EVE2_35
//#define EVE2_29

4. Upload
