How to increase SPI clock speed for HX8357? #24

How to increase SPI clock speed for HX8357? The Graphics output is too slow for my purposes. I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.8 and the Feather M4 and the Feather ESP32 with this Featherwing HX8357 display.

Sorry, I don't understand: which faster values for (uint32_t freq) are valid? which freq are HX8357D or HX8357B? which is optionally even more faster (e.g. SPI clock 40MHz) ? Can I pass e.g. 40000000 for 40MHz or 60000000 for 60MHz?

you can try any freq you like, technicall the chip has a max of 16000000 i think, but sometimes you can overclock

dsyleixa commented 5 years ago

if lower than 120MHz, must that be a freq of an integer clock divider (2,3,4,...) of the M4 cpu clock 120000000?

ladyada commented 5 years ago

Arduino picks the closest value yes

dsyleixa commented 5 years ago

ok, and now what do HX8357D or HX8357B stand for?

hiya, we answered the question and we do not do tech support in github issues if you have tech support questions please post in the forums - this isn't a bug in the library you're asking about!
