TFT_scanline Class Reference

Subclass of Adafruit_TFTDMA in which display (or section thereof) is generated one scanline at a time, using a callback which sets up one or more sequential 'spans,' providing a start address for each and a width in pixels. The total span width MUST match the update region width. This requires careful planning but might be good for scrollers, tile engines, anything with lots of canned pixel data in tables. Uses about 12K RAM. More...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TFT_scanline()

TFT_scanline::TFT_scanline ( 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_scanline::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.

◆ update()

void TFT_scanline::update ( int16_t  x1,
int16_t  y1,
int16_t  x2,
int16_t  y2,
void(*)(uint16_t *dest, void *udPtr)  userCallback,
void *  userData 
)

Refreshes specified region of the display. Region will be divided vertically into scanlines, and a callback is then invoked to draw each line as needed (line contents are not preserved; every invocation must fully render that line) and a DMA transfer is initiated while then processing the next line. Function returns when last DMA transfer completes.

Parameters
x1Left edge of region to update.
y1Top edge of region to update.
x2Right edge of region to update.
y2Bottom edge of region to update.
userCallbackFunction for rendering one scanline of the region being updated. Callback is passed a pointer to a one-scanline working buffer if needed, and a pointer to optional user data provided by the application.
userDataPointer to user-defined data structure which can be used to pass data to the callback or between invocations of the callback. Very little is passed to the callback – this is by design – so this structure, or just global variables in one's code, can be used to contain information such as the region width or horizontal/vertical offsets of the scanline within the overall screen.

◆ addSpan()

void TFT_scanline::addSpan ( uint16_t *  addr,
int16_t  w,
bool  inc = 1 
)

User callback invokes this function one or more times to specify the next 'span' – a horizontal length of pixels – to issue along the scanline being rendered, left to right.

Parameters
addrPointer to 16-bit pixel data at the start of the span.
wHorizontal length of span, in pixels. The total length of all spans on a given scanline MUST match the width of the region passed to update(); no clipping is performed. Spans are always added sequentially left-to-right, there is no insert or reverse operation; speed is of the essence. The internal span counter is always reset to 0 (left edge of region) at the start of each scanline.
incSelects whether source address increment is enabled in DMA transfer descriptor. Default is 1 (true). If 0, and if using the 16-bit parallel interface, this will fill the span with the single color value at 'addr' (in 8-bit mode, this only makes sense if the color's high and low bytes are the same, e.g. black, white and a dubious and strange assortment of colors).
