stevstrong/Adafruit_TFTLCD_8bit_STM32

Repository files navigation

This is a library for the 8 bit parallel driven TFT displays, ported from the Adafruit library [https://github.com/adafruit/TFTLCD-Library] and adapted to STM32F103Cx controller. No other CPU architecture is supportted at the moment.

This library depends on the Libmaple core files from:

https://github.com/stevstrong/Arduino_STM32 or

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32.

The scope of this library is to achieve highest display update rate while maintaing the compatibility with original Adafruit display API. Only tested with ILI9328 and "unknown" ILI9341-compatitble driver chips.

Contribution from users for other display control types is welcome and made easy by allocating separate files for each controller type in part.

How to use:

  • Place the Adafruit_TFT library folder your /libraries/ folder. You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE.

  • Also requires the Adafruit_GFX library for Arduino. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library . Alternatively, you can change Adafruit_TFTLCD_8bit_STM32.h to #include <Adafruit_GFX_AS.h>, instead.

  • Pin connections can be configured near the top of Adafruit_TFTLCD_8bit_STM32.h . Note that the data lines have to be on consequtive pins of the same output register (PB0...PB7, by default). To use the higher pins (PX8..PX15), set TFT_DATA_SHIFT to 8. The four control pins must all be one output register (the same as the data pins, or a different one), but can be freely assigned within the register. The TFT reset line can be assigned, freely.
