    That's awesome! You posted this six hours ago. Yesterday I was using the gradient feature of Gimp to make a static logo for a project. Now I can make the gradient dynamic, if I want! That's neat, and, I think I'll play around with this. Thanks again!
    Oh, here's an idea for you: I added a potentiometer (e.g., "volume control" knob) to the breadboard I'm exploring this display with, so I can adjust values more quickly than the edit/compile/upload/verify cycle which is at least around 1 minute between "changing a variable and seeing the result."
    By adding just a bit of code to hook the value of the potentiometer, mapped to a proper range, I'm able to test a lot faster.
    Hope this helps, and, feel free to make a video on it if you like the technique! Thanks again.

    It looks great! Interesting to see this board, the LilyGo T-Display looks better than past boards I had bought from them. I ended up using something else, because they had no usable pins except for one Grover port (e.g. see the T-Camera, T-Journal, or T5s: they have literally no headers). At least it looks like the T-Display has plenty and comes with headers; without them I find their utility very limited.

    Working with these little ESP32 dev boards is a blast. It feels like they can do almost anything, especially with the full Internet functionality. I am eagerly anticipating receiving my order for some units of the version of this board that is the mini front panel. I adapted that first project into a teeny triggered sweep oscilloscope. I didn’t try too hard to optimize anything, so 1 KHz is about the upper limit it can display, but is neat to just code it in C++.
    I’ve been toying with the idea of keeping a ring buffer filled continuously with an interrupt routine reading the ADC channel and and having the main loop calculate the trigger conditions at an offset behind the current sample so that I can display pre trigger data in my sweep after valid trigger conditions are met.
    Having the CPU cores running at 240 MHz gives quite a bit of time to process data in between the ticks when it is necessary to interact with the analog world. The fast CPU cores make writing in a high level language practical for doing real-time work.

    A key programming construct here is the use of (image) Sprites within the TFT_eSPI library when drawing and re-drawing smoothly to the display. As I (a non developer) understand it, a Sprite is more a bulk screen buffer move or update operation thus removing any mismatching of display scan and pixel display.

    Volos, if you create a jpg 'unfolded' strip of each number wheel then you can have them rotating behind the panel layer like an odometer. I found the easiest way to do this is to index the array when pushing the image in order to show a window of maybe 1.5 to 2 digits span. Increment the index point and re-push into the full screen sprite. Great for retro clocks, counters and cockpit instruments. Congratulations on the stunning work!

    • @VolosProjects

    • @nikthefix8918
      @nikthefix8918 2 роки тому

      @@VolosProjects Yes, a single array for a complete number wheel - like a vertical film strip going from 0-9 (perhaps with an extra 0 on the end so the loop can be seamless). Then just select a region of the byte array to display with variable in and out points. Like a poor mans gif but you can reverse direction and pull out frames easily. I think TFT_eSPI already has a way of doing this but at the time I wanted to try it the sprite feature had not been implemented so I did it the quick and dirty way.

  • @dtewksbury
    @dtewksbury 2 роки тому

    The difference in frame rate is probably just because the fonts are larger, so the graphics library has to blit more pixels each frame. The anti aliasing was probably done when the fonts were generated so there is no more overhead there, except if the semi transparent pixels around the edges need to be calculated on the fly to blend to the background colour.

    That display looks awesome. One hint, maybe you want it like it is, but I would have forced the least significant field to always be 2 digits (given that you are trying to emulate mechanical dials), rather than going down to a single digit in the range 0-9. There are various ways to do that. Arduino sketches are "really" C++ (which I'm not an expert at) but there are ways to give print format specifiers in that (GIYF). Personally (not because it is a good way but because I am mainly a C programmer) I would use a sprintf( least_significant_buffer , "%02d" , the_least_significant_variable ).

    Hello Volos and a big thank you for your tutorials, without them I would have big problems with my T-Display !
    I have a question about fonts :
    I tried your powermeter sketch on my T-Display and it works without problems.
    Than I tried to change one of the fonts with "Orbitron_Light_24.h" and after that the powermeter sketch doesn't compile and shows errors in the Orbitron_Light_24.h file.
    In fact when looking with notepad the internal structure of Orbitron_Light_24.h is not the same than the structure of the fonts files included in your sketch.
    Does this mean that the anti-aliased font files are "special" fonts, and is it possible to modify per example Orbitron_Light_24.h so it works in a sketch with anti-aliased fonts ?

It's interesting to see how the subtle changes have a big impact on the final look of your application. The rotating dial at the bottom, for example, looks much more pleasing.
