gfxlcd 0.2.1

gfxlcd is a handler for graphical lcds: ILI9328, SSD1306, NJU6450, touch panel: AD7843 @ Raspberry Pi.

What it is
===

Library for graphical LCDs for Python on Raspberry Pi. Creates a united interface for supported devices

Supported:

- ili325 via GPIO
- ssd1306 via SPI
- nju6450 via GPIO

And for touch panels:

- ad7843 via SPI, uses irq or not


On NJU and SSD uses buffer to keep current content as help for page operations.

Wiring is below

Demos are in demos directory

LCD initialization
===
## SSD1306
### SPI

from driver.ssd1306.spi import SPI
from driver.ssd1306.ssd1306 import SSD1306
drv = SPI()
o = SSD1306(128, 64, drv)
o.init()

If you want to set your own pins:

drv = SPI()
drv.pins = {
'RST': 13,
'DC': 6,
}
o = SSD1306(128, 64, drv)
o.init()

## NJU6450
### GPIO

from gfxlcd.driver.nju6450.gpio import GPIO
from gfxlcd.driver.nju6450.nju6450 import NJU6450
drv = GPIO()
o = NJU6450(122, 32, drv)
o.init()

Custom wiring:

from gfxlcd.driver.nju6450.gpio import GPIO
from gfxlcd.driver.nju6450.nju6450 import NJU6450
drv = GPIO()
drv.pins = {
'A0': 17,
'E1': 22,
'E2': 21,
'D0': 23,
'D1': 24,
'D2': 25,
'D3': 12,
'D4': 16,
'D5': 20,
'D6': 26,
'D7': 19,
'RST': 5,
}
o = NJU6450(122, 32, drv)
o.init()

## ILI9325
### GPIO

from gfxlcd.driver.ili9325.gpio import GPIO
from gfxlcd.driver.ili9325.ili9325 import ILI9325
drv = GPIO()
o = ILI9325(240, 320, drv)
o.init()

Custom pins:

from gfxlcd.driver.ili9325.gpio import GPIO
from gfxlcd.driver.ili9325.ili9325 import ILI9325
drv = GPIO()
drv.pins = {
'RS': 27,
'W': 17,
'DB8': 22,
'DB9': 23,
'DB10': 24,
'DB11': 5,
'DB12': 12,
'DB13': 16,
'DB14': 20,
'DB15': 21,
'RST': 25,
'LED': None,
'CS': None
}
o = ILI9325(240, 320, drv)
o.init()


Drawing functions
===
draw_pixel(x, y)

draw_line(from_x, from_y, to_x, to_y)

draw_rect(x1, y1, x2, y2)

draw_circle(x1, y1, radius)

draw_arc(x1, y1, radius, from_angle, to_angle

fill_rect(x1, y1, x2, y2)

draw_image(x, y, PIL.Image)

Colours
===
lcd.color = (r, g, b)

lcd.background_color = (r, g ,b)

lcd.threshold = 255 - for images a threshold between black and white (on monochrome)

lcd.transparency_color = [110, 57] #110 - color(s) that are skipped during drawing an image


Touch panels
===

## AD7843

Constructor:

AD7843(width, height, (T_INT), (callback))

Can be used with T_INT

def callback(position):
print('(x,y)', position)

touch = AD7843(240, 320, 26, callback)
touch.init()

or without:

touch = AD7843(240, 320)
touch.init()

while True:
try:
time.sleep(0.05)
ret = touch.get_position()
if ret:
print(ret[0], ret[1])

except KeyboardInterrupt:
touch.close()

There is no automatic calibration. It must be done manually.

self.correction = {
'x': 364,
'y': 430,
'ratio_x': 14.35,
'ratio_y': 10.59
}
