Support for 3.2" display (SSD1289) #291

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Massive fan of this library. Thanks you for your hard work.

If you could add support for SSD1289 displays then that would be HUGELY 
appreciated. They're so inexpensive at the moment 
(http://www.banggood.com/3_2-Inch-SSD1289-TFT-LCD-Display-Module-Touch-Panel-For
-Arduino-p-918609.html) and they could open up a world of possibilities for 
Arduino projects!

Thanks,

Harvey

I did some attempts to add support for the SSD1289 in my other lib: Ucglib.
However no success. I might continue once with the SSD1289, but not with U8glib.
With u8glib i will focus on monochrome displays only.

I actually meant the colour library, I must have searched and found the wrong 
one! Lucky that you work on both really...

I think adding that display would be popular enhancement. Best of luck in 
finding a working solution. Looking forward to using it!

Thanks for a quick response.

I actually added some code for this device in ucglib, but i do not have the 
hardware in my lab. I guess i need to get a suitable SSD1289 display first.

Great, I'll give it a try then and report back. That link (above) is a good 
source if you need one for testing. They also have arduino megas for £8 and 
they're reliable. Is there a donation page? I'd be happy to contribute to this 
library. There's a lot of wiring, but you'll find a working setup in the 
comments section of the product  page. Cheers.

what do you think about this display:

less wiring effort...

It's very similar and less wiring for sure. Thanks for the suggestion, however 
it's also double the cost and creates a pin conflict with the CC3000 shield 
(0-7 digital pins for touch). I basically just want an Arduino mega with a 
sizeable (3+ inch) TFT touchscreen and wifi. It's surprisingly hard to pull 
together at a reasonable cost! Then of course I need a great display library :)

You mentioned there's code in the Uglib library for the display type. There's 
no docs yet, so what would I call as the equivalent of setup code, e.g. 
"Ucglib_ST7735_18x128x160_HWSPI ucg(/*cd=*/ , /*cs=*/, /*reset=*/);" given the 
UTFT setup details would be the default "UTFT myGLCD(SSD1289,38,39,40,41); ". I 
guessed Ucglib_ SSD1289_32x240x320... but apparently I was wrong!

Thanks again for the help.

ok, too clean up things, i will continue with my comments here:
https://code.google.com/p/ucglib/issues/detail?id=38

This ticket i will close. The change will go to ucglib.
