stm32 arduino tft lcd quotation

The over-clocking also sped up the results with Adafruit_GFX to 19.88 seconds but that is still very slow. Not sure why the Adafruit library is so slow. I used " tft.begin(32000000); // Can set SPI clock rate" so I assume it used hardware SPI rather than bit bashing.

MCUFRIEND_kbv works out of the box with every "Mcufriend style" parallel Shield on a Nucleo. i.e. it supports more controllers than TFT_eSPI. But TFT_eSPI is more sophisticated and probably faster.

As I said. I don"t have the Waveshare Shield. It is definitely convenient to plug a Shield into a Nucleo. I would expect it to run pretty fast with TFT_eSPI. So I am wondering what you have done in your User_Setup.

You will see that most of the Display contributors have similar arrangements. i.e. Protoboard or ProtoShields that receive the popular TFT, OLED, GLCD, ...

Hi, i am using 1.8 TFT 128*160 LCD with spi communication. I am using esp32 microcontroller and trying to upload the image to the LCD but i am facing issues with the TFT library.

Recently I bought TFT 2.2" RM68130 OPEN SMART. I tried all that Impulsive said here on this thred (use SUPPORT _9225 & USE_OPENSMART_SHIELD_PINOUT, forced begin(0x9225))

I"m actually using Arduino Nano, but I"m not sure where did I made mistake. If I"m write, it must be same because I have AtMega328P version. Can you please help me?

Since it’s inception the Arduino IDE has demonstrated the desire to support all kind of platforms, from Arduino clones and variations of different manufacturers to third party boards like the ESP32 and ESp8266. As more people get familiar with the IDE, they are beginning to support more boards that are not based on ATMEL chips and for today’s tutorial we will look on one of such boards. We will examine how to program the STM32 based, STM32F103C8T6 development board with the Arduino IDE.

The STM32 board to be used for this tutorial is none other than the STM32F103C8T6 chip based STM32F1 development board commonly referred to as “Blue Pill” in line with the blue color of its PCB. Blue Pill is powered by the powerful 32-bit STM32F103C8T6 ARM processor, clocked at 72MHz. The board operates on 3.3v logic levels but its GPIO pins have been tested to be 5v tolerant. While it does not come with WiFi or Bluetooth like the ESP32 and Arduino variants, it offers 20KB of RAM and 64KB of flash memory which makes it adequate for large projects. It also possesses 37 GPIO pins, 10 of which can be used for Analog sensors since they have ADC enabled, along with others which are enabled for SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, and DMA. For a board which costs around $3, you will agree with me that these are impressive specs. A summarized version of these specifications compared with that of an Arduino Uno is shown in the image below.

Based on the specs above, the frequency at which Blue pill operates is about 4.5 times higher than an Arduino UNO, for today’s tutorial, as an example on how to use the STM32F1 board, we will connect it to a 1.44″ TFT display and program it to calculate the “Pi” constant. We will note how long it took the board to obtain the value an compare it with the time it takes an Arduino Uno to perform the same task.

As mentioned earlier, we will connect the STM32F1 board to the1.8″ ST7735 based colored TFT Display along with a push button. The push button will be used to instruct the board to start the calculation.

Go over the connections once again to be sure everything is as it should be as it tends to get a little bit tricky. With this done, we proceed to set up the STM32 board to be programmed with the Arduino IDE.

As with most boards not made by Arduino, a bit of setup needs to be done before the board can be used with the Arduino IDE.  This involves installing the board file either via the Arduino Board manager or downloading from the internet and copy the files into the hardware folder. The Board Manager route is the less tedious one and since the STM32F1 is among the listed boards, we will go that route.

Start by adding the link for the STM32 board to the Arduino preference lists. Go to File -> Preferences, then enter this URL ( http://dan.drown.org/stm32duino/package_STM32duino_index.json ) in the box as indicated below and click ok.

The code will be written the same way we’d write any other sketch for an Arduino project, with the only difference being the way the pins are referenced.

To be able to easily develop the code for this project, we will use two libraries which are both modifications of standard Arduino Libraries to make them compatible for the STM32. We will use the modified version of the Adafruit GFX  and the Adafruit ST7735 libraries. Both libraries can be downloaded via the links attached to them.

With this done, we create an object of the ST7735 library which will be used to reference the display all through the entire project. We also indicate the pin of the STM32 to which the pushbutton is connected and create a variable to hold its state.

Uploading sketches to the STM32f1 is a little bit complex compared to standard Arduino compatible boards. To upload code to the board, we need an FTDI based, USB to Serial converter.

Comparing these two values, we see that “Blue Pill” is over 7 times faster than the Arduino Uno. This makes it ideal for projects which involves heavy processing and time constraints. The small size of the Blue pill also serves as an advantage here as it is only a bit bigger than the Arduino nano and it can be used in place where the Nano won’t be fast enough.

Incidentally, everything works out of the box for a Nucleo board. The Arduino A2 pin is correctly defined. The Arduino D8 pin is correctly defined.
