ILI9341 Library

Overview

ILI9341 driver library for ATXMega/ATMega with hardware/software SPI or 8/16 bit parallel mode. Includes Backlight control with a GPIO or a PWM signal generated by a timer. Supports screen rotation (4 directions). Most of the graphics routines are optimized for speed with inline Assembler.

Options

Options and settings need to be set before the $include-statement, every setting has a default value that will be used if not specified otherwise. (in the list below the default values for the ATXMega are shown, values for ATMega are written in brackets () if applicable).

Enables the SPI- instead of the 8-Bit paralell interface

Const Lcd_enable_spi = False

Use software SPI

Const Lcd_use_soft_spi = False

Enables the 16-Bit paralell interface

Const Lcd_enable_16bit = False

Enable backlight control

Const Lcd_enable_backlight = False

Use a timer to generate a PWM signal for the backlight instead of switching it on or off

Const Lcd_enable_backlight_pwm = True

ATMega only: select the timer to use for the PWM signal (XMega: automatic)

Lcd_backlight_timer Alias Timer2

Invert backlight logic (1: off, 0: on)

Const Lcd_invert_backlight = False

Select the port of the display control pins (XMega: HW-SPI & PWM Timer fixed on PortC-PortF, ATMega: HW SPI on PortB, for SW SPI or parallel modes any GPIO will work)

Const Lcd_ctrl_port = Portc (Portb)

8 Bit mode data port

Const Lcd_data_port_1 = Portf (Portc)

16 Bit mode data port #2

Const Lcd_data_port_2 = Portd

Port of the display reset signal

Const Lcd_reset_port = Lcd_ctrl_port

Pin of the display reset signal

Const Lcd_reset_pin = 0

SPI mode pin assignments (HW SPI: fixed, SW SPI: any GPIO)

Const Lcd_pin_dc = 1 (4)
Const Lcd_pin_cs = 4 (0)
Const Lcd_pin_sdo = 5 (2)
Const Lcd_pin_clk = 7 (1)

parallel (8/16 Bit) mode pin assignments

Const Lcd_pin_wr = 1
Const Lcd_pin_rd = 5
Const Lcd_pin_dc = 7
Const Lcd_pin_cs = 4

Port of the backlight control signal

Const Lcd_backlight_port = Lcd_ctrl_port

Pin of the backlight control signal

Const Lcd_pin_backlight = 0 (6)

API

the actual max X and Y coordinates (after rotation)

Dim Lcd_screen_width As Word
Dim Lcd_screen_height As Word

For reduced Digit font

Dim Lcd_digit_font As Bit

Initializes the control interface (paralell/serial), backlight control and the display

Sub Lcd_init()

Indicates if the display is in sleep mode.

Dim Lcd_sleepmode As Bit

Sets the backlight value (0: BL Off, Standby On; 1-254: PWM, 255: BL On, Display Wakeup)

Sub Lcd_backlight(byval Value As Byte)

Smoothly dims the backlight (PWM only)

Sub Lcd_backlight_dim(byval Startvalue As Byte , Byval Endvalue As Byte , Byval Millisecs As Word)

Indicates the current rotation

Dim Lcd_rotation As Byte

Sets the display rotation (0: 0° Portrait, 1: 90° Landscape, 2: 180° Portrait, 3: 270° Landscape, 4: 0° ...)

Sub Lcd_set_rotation(byval Rotation As Byte)

Draws a filled rectangle, checks for the display boundaries

Sub Lcd_fill_rect(byval X1 As Word , Byval Y1 As Word , Byval X2 As Word , Byval Y2 As Word , Byval Color As Word)

Sets a single pixel.

Sub Lcd_set_pixel(byval X As Word , Byval Y As Word , Byval Color As Word)

Draws a BIN picture from the internal program flash memory. Image has to be loaded with Restore before.

Sub Lcd_pic_flash(byval Xs As Word , Byval Ys As Word , Byval Width As Byte , Byval Height As Word)

Draws a BIN picture stored on an external SPI DataFlash [1]

Sub Lcd_pic_spi(byval Xs As Word , Byval Ys As Word , Byval Width As Word , Byval Height As Word , Byval Address As Dword)

Set to the start address of the free SRAM memory section, where BIN pics should be loaded to

Dim Lcd_ram_pics_free_ptr As Dword

Loads a BIN picture from the program flash into the SRAM for faster access. Data will be loaded starting at Lcd_ram_pics_free_ptr, the function returns the start address of the actual picture.

Function Lcd_load_pic_flash2ram(byval Width As Word , Byval Height As Word) As Word

Draws a BIN picture from the SRAM memory.

Sub Lcd_pic_ram(byval Xs As Word , Byval Ys As Word , Byval Width As Word , Byval Height As Word , Byval Address As Dword)

Draws a BGF coded picture from the program flash memory.

Sub Lcd_pic_bgf(byval Xoffset As Word , Byval Yoffset As Word)

Clears the screen.

Sub Lcd_clear(byval Color As Word) 

Inverts the screen's colors

Sub Lcd_invert(byval Inverted As Byte )

Loads the font, following Lcd_text commands will use it. You need to call Restore [Font] before.

Sub Lcd_loadfont()

Draws a fixed-font text on the screen.

Sub Lcd_text(byval S As String , Byval Xoffset As Word , Byval Yoffset As Word , Byval Forecolor As Word , Byval Backcolor As Word)

Draws a line between two points

Sub Lcd_line(byval X1 As Word , Byval Y1 As Word , Byval X2 As Word , Byval Y2 As Word , Byval Color As Word)

Draws a line with color transition between two points

Sub Lcd_line_gradient(byval X1 As Word , Byval Y1 As Word , Byval X2 As Word , Byval Y2 As Word , Byval Color1 As Word , Byval Color2 As Word)
