libtft

About

Static avr-libc library providing basic support for TFT LCDs such as:

• Adafruit 1.8" Color TFT LCD 160x128 ST7735R
• Adafruit 2.0" Color IPS TFT 320x240 ST7789
• Adafruit 2.8" Color TFT LCD with Cap Touch 320x240 ILI9341

Currently implemented features:

• Mostly complete UTF-8 set (code points U+0000 to U+00FF) of Unifont font (1-Bit monochrome)
• Mostly complete UTF-8 set (code points U+0000 to U+00FF) of Hack font with antialiasing (4-Bit greyscale)
• Write text, draw bitmaps

Usage

1. Include libtft.h, font.h, types.h and libtft.a in the project
2. Include hack.h and/or unifont.h, depending on what font to use.
3. Implement the _tft* functions in libtft.h in the application (this is to make the library CPU frequency independent)

Fonts

To include a font, add i.e. dejavu.h:

    #ifndef DEJAVU_H
    #define DEJAVU_H

    #include "font.h"

    /**
     * DejaVu font.
     */
    extern const __flash Font dejaVuFont;

    #endif /* DEJAVU_H */

and the matching implementation dejavu.c:

    #include "dejavu.h"
    #include "utils.h"

    #define HEIGHT 56

    static const __flash uint8_t SPACE[] = {
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
        // more ...
    }

    // more chars ...

    const __flash Glyph glyphs[] = {
        {0x0020, 24, SPACE},
        {0x0021, 16, EXCLAMATION_MARK},
        {0x0023, 32, NUMBER_SIGN},
        {0x0025, 32, PERCENT_SIGN}
        // more ...
    }

    const __flash Font dejaVuFont = {glyphs, array_length(glyphs), HEIGHT, SPACE_MONO1};

and write some text in DejaVu to the display:

    const __flash Font *dejaVu = &dejaVuFont;
    tftWriteString(x, y, dejaVu, "123", WHITE, crc ? BLACK : RED);

Bitmaps

To display bitmaps, add i.e. bitmaps.c:

    #include "font.h"

    const __flash uint8_t TUX_DATA[] = {
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x7e, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0xff, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x07, 0xff, 0xc0, 0x00, 0x00,
        0x00, 0x00, 0x07, 0xff, 0xe0, 0x00, 0x00
        // more ...
    }

    const __flash Bitmap bitmaps[] = {
        {56, 64, SPACE_MONO1, TUX_DATA}
    };

and write Tux to the display:

    tftWriteBitmap(0, 176, 0, 0xffff, 0x0000);
