Rough estimate for Energia compatible version? #9

Closed ortszentrum closed 8 years ago

Hi,

This looks like an excellent project. I'd love to use your library to hook up my Adafruit TFT shield with my Redbearlab CC3200 (using the Energia IDE).

Do you have a rough sense when an Energia compatible version will be ready? Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to port it myself.

Thanks a lot!

I don't have Redbearlab CC3200, have only the old Stellaris, btw I'm working on an importan update of this library so can you point me to a TFT library that works 'fast' with your CPU as study?

Thanks for your comment. I haven't managed to get any TFT to work with the RBL CC3200 so far. I tried to use the 1.8" Adafruit TFT with the corresponding library from Adafruit and yours which I understand is based on it but I ran into difficulties with SPI and PROGMEM access.

Redbearlab CC3200 it's similar to Stellaris? (apart the wifi stuff obviously) When I started this library not other exists, this is why I wroted it. I don't even know that an Adafruit library exists! Time ago I wroted some code for Stellaris, there was some problems around SPI but I think they fixed now. The problem with Energia it's the slow development and most libraries are adapted from Arduino, btw the main development group it's small but experienced. I had some problem asking infos, developers are busy with their work so forums are laying and questions are most of the time unaswered. I have try to get some interest by adding energia support on some library but I never received any feedback, this is why my Energia good purposes are sleeping...

I'm also interested in this port, I have a Tiva C series Launchpad (TM4C123G). I would gladly help to make it happen but I don't have the knowledge to develop it on my own, so some clues on where to get started or points to solve the compatibility issue would be really helpful.

I don't own a Tiva C, the Energia support it's painful, many processors, many differences. It can help if you can point me to a working library that uses SPI.
