 TFT_framebuffer (int8_t tc, int8_t reset, int8_t cs, int8_t cd, int8_t rd, int8_t wr, int8_t d0, _EPioType periph)
 Constructor. Takes note of the hardware configuration to use, but does not itself initialize any hardware yet. More...
 
bool begin (void)
 Initializes all pins and peripherals used by the library. More...
 
void update (void)
 Refreshes the display based on the current 'dirty rectangle' bounds set by other graphics functions. Initiates a DMA transfer and returns immediately – application can proceed with other code at that point but MUST not modify the framebuffer as it's transferred.
 
void waitForUpdate (void)
 Wait for the DMA transfer initiated by update() to complete. Dirty rectangle is reset and framebuffer can then be modified.
 
void sully (int16_t x, int16_t y)
 Set or expand the current dirty rectangle to contain a given pixel coordinate. Input MUST be valid; is NOT clipped. The few graphics primitives provided will set or expand the dirty rectangle automatically, this function is mostly for one's own code that may be modifying the framebuffer contents. More...
 
uint16_t * getBuffer (void)
 Get the base address of the framebuffer. More...
 
bool getDirtyRect (int16_t *x1, int16_t *y1, int16_t *x2, int16_t *y2)
 Get the framebuffer's current dirty rectangle, if any. This may be helpful if an application finds it easier or more efficient to simply erase a whole bounding area rather than multiple small elements within. More...
 
void rawPixel (int16_t x, int16_t y, uint16_t color)
 Lowest-level pixel-setting operation. Sets color of pixel at a given coordinate. Does NOT provide clipping, and pixel color must already be endian-adjusted if needed to match format needed by ILI9341 (MSB first). Dirty rectangle is not updated. More...
 
void drawPixel (int16_t x, int16_t y, uint16_t color)
 Set pixel in framebuffer, with clipping, endian-adjustment and dirty rectangle update. More...
 
void fillRect (int16_t x, int16_t y, int16_t w, int16_t h, uint16_t color)
 Fill rectangle in framebuffer, with clipping and dirty rectangle update. More...

 Fill entire framebuffer with solid color. More...

Detailed Description

Subclass of Adafruit_TFTDMA providing a whole-screen contiguous framebuffer. This is probably the easiest subclass to understand, but requires an enormous amount of RAM, nearly 160 kilobytes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TFT_framebuffer()

TFT_framebuffer::TFT_framebuffer ( int8_t  tc,
int8_t  reset,
int8_t  cs,
int8_t  cd,
int8_t  rd,
int8_t  wr,
int8_t  d0,
_EPioType  periph 
)

Constructor. Takes note of the hardware configuration to use, but does not itself initialize any hardware yet.

Parameters
tcIndex of timer/counter peripheral for PWM (used for generating write-strobe pulses), e.g. pass 2 to use the TC2 peripheral. Certain timer/counters may be in use by other libraries or reserved for the Arduino millis()/micros() timers.
resetIndex of pin connected to the ILI9341's reset line, or -1 if unconnected. Using the reset line is optional but strongly recommended.
csIndex of pin connected to ILI9341 chip select line. Required; must be >= 0.
cdIndex of pin connected to ILI9341 command/data line. Required; must be >= 0.
rdIndex of pin connected to ILI9341 read-strobe line, or -1 if unconnected. This library currently doesn't read any registers or pixel data from the device; it is coded specifically for this driver and write-only, so -1 is totally acceptable and even preferred here. Maybe this parameter will be removed in the future.
wrIndex of pin connected to ILI9341 write-strobe line. Required; must be >= 0. Additionally, this pin must be a valid TCx/WO[0] output for the timer/counter specified by the first parameter, OR a CCL/OUT[x] pin for the same timer counter (see last parameter).
d0Index of pin connected to ILI9341 data bit 0 line. Required; must be >= 0. Additionally, the corresponding PORT bit index for this pin MUST be the least-significant bit of an 8-bit byte (e.g. 0, 8, 16 or 24) if using the 8-bit parallel interface, or the least-significant bit of a 16-bit halfword (e.g. 0 or 16) if using the 16-bit parallel interface. Use of the next 7 or 15 bits of the PORT is implied, the pins corresponding to those bits might not be contiguous or sequential; refer to the schematic or device-specific variant.cpp file for insights.
periphPeripheral type connected to the write-strobe pin for PWM out. This can be PIO_TIMER or PIO_TIMER_ALT corresponding to TCx/WO[0] for that pin, or PIO_CCL for CCL/OUT[x] on a pin. PIO_TIMER and PIO_TIMER_ALT require the use of an external logic inverter (the ILI9341 uses active-low control signals). PIO_CCL does not need an inverter, but the choice of pins is very limited, perhaps just one or two.

Member Function Documentation

◆ begin()

bool TFT_framebuffer::begin ( void  )

Initializes all pins and peripherals used by the library.

Returns
true if an error occurred, false otherwise. An error returned here is usually symptomatic of a constructor problem, such as an invalid pin or timer number.

◆ sully()

void TFT_framebuffer::sully ( int16_t  x,
int16_t  y 
)

Set or expand the current dirty rectangle to contain a given pixel coordinate. Input MUST be valid; is NOT clipped. The few graphics primitives provided will set or expand the dirty rectangle automatically, this function is mostly for one's own code that may be modifying the framebuffer contents.

Parameters
xHorizontal position of pixel (0 to TFTWIDTH-1).
yVertical position of pixel (0 to TFTWIDTH-1).

◆ getBuffer()

uint16_t * TFT_framebuffer::getBuffer ( void  )

Get the base address of the framebuffer.

Returns
Pointer to framebuffer data; contiguous row-major TFTWIDTH x TFTHEIGHT uint16_t values.

◆ getDirtyRect()

bool TFT_framebuffer::getDirtyRect ( int16_t *  x1,
int16_t *  y1,
int16_t *  x2,
int16_t *  y2 
)

Get the framebuffer's current dirty rectangle, if any. This may be helpful if an application finds it easier or more efficient to simply erase a whole bounding area rather than multiple small elements within.

Parameters
x1Pointer to signed 16-bit type to hold LEFT edge of dirty rectangle, if set (else will be >= TFTWIDTH).
y1Pointer to signed 16-bit type to hold TOP edge of dirty rectangle, if set (else will be >= TFTHEIGHT).
x2Pointer to signed 16-bit type to hold RIGHT edge of dirty rectangle, if set (else will be -1).
y2Pointer to signed 16-bit type to hold BOTTOM edge of dirty rectangle, if set (else will be -1).
Returns
true if dirty rectangle exists and is valid, false if no rectangle has been set (e.g. immediately after update()).

◆ rawPixel()

void TFT_framebuffer::rawPixel ( int16_t  x,
int16_t  y,
uint16_t  color 
)
inline

Lowest-level pixel-setting operation. Sets color of pixel at a given coordinate. Does NOT provide clipping, and pixel color must already be endian-adjusted if needed to match format needed by ILI9341 (MSB first). Dirty rectangle is not updated.

Parameters
xHorizontal position of pixel (0 to TFTWIDTH-1).
yVertical position of pixel (0 to TFTHEIGHT-1).
color16-bit (5/6/5 R/G/B) color value, ILI9341 byte order.

◆ drawPixel()

void TFT_framebuffer::drawPixel ( int16_t  x,
int16_t  y,
uint16_t  color 
)

Set pixel in framebuffer, with clipping, endian-adjustment and dirty rectangle update.

Parameters
xHorizontal position of pixel.
yVertical position of pixel.
color16-bit (5/6/5 R/G/B) color value, native byte order.

◆ fillRect()

void TFT_framebuffer::fillRect ( int16_t  x,
int16_t  y,
int16_t  w,
int16_t  h,
uint16_t  color 
)

Fill rectangle in framebuffer, with clipping and dirty rectangle update.

Parameters
xLeft edge of rectangle (right edge if negative width).
yTop edge of rectangle (bottom edge if negative height).
wWidth in pixels.
hHeight in pixels.
color16-bit (5/6/5 R/G/B) color value, native byte order.

◆ fillScreen()

void TFT_framebuffer::fillScreen ( uint16_t  color = 0)

Fill entire framebuffer with solid color.

Parameters
color16-bit (5/6/5 R/G/B) color value, native byte order.
