DOGM132W-5 display showing the graphics example

Crates.io Crates.io License Build Status docs.rs

This crate aims to provide an embedded-graphics compatible driver for displays based on the ST7565 chipset.

Example

The following example is intended for the DOGM132W-5 display connected to an nRF52840 microcontroller.

Note the MODE_3 of the SPI. The DOGM132W-5 display expects the clock to be configured with CPOL=1 and CPHA=1, which is also called SPI Mode 3.

// Create DOGM132W-5 spi bus
let spi_bus = hal::Spim::new(
    peripherals.SPIM0,
    hal::spim::Pins {
        sck: Some(disp_scl),
        mosi: Some(disp_si),
        miso: None,
    },
    hal::spim::Frequency::M8,
    hal::spim::MODE_3,
    0,
);
let disp_spidevice = ExclusiveDevice::new_no_delay(spi_bus, disp_cs).unwrap();
let disp_interface = SPIInterface::new(disp_spidevice, disp_a0);

// Create DOGM132W-5 display driver
let mut page_buffer = GraphicsPageBuffer::new();
let mut disp = ST7565::new(disp_interface, DOGM132W5).into_graphics_mode(&mut page_buffer);
disp.reset(&mut disp_rst, &mut timer).unwrap();
disp.flush().unwrap();
disp.set_display_on(true).unwrap();

// Draw on it using the embedded_graphics library
Circle::new(Point::new(10, 6), 20)
    .into_styled(PrimitiveStyle::with_stroke(BinaryColor::On, 2))
    .draw(&mut disp)
    .unwrap();
disp.flush().unwrap();

Note the DOGM132W5 object. This is the display specification that contains all the display specific configuration options that need to be applied to the ST7565 chip.

Further note the into_graphics_mode() call, which switches the driver from its initial mode to the embedded-graphics driver mode. The disp object can then be used as a DrawTarget in embedded-graphics calls.

After drawing something, a flush() call has to be issued to actually send the modified data to the display.

Adding support for new ST7565 based displays

The example above uses the DOGM132W5 struct in the [ST7565::new()] call.

To initialize the ST7565 driver struct with a different display, a new display specification has to be created. This can be done by creating an empty struct that implements the [DisplaySpecs] trait.

For example, the definition of the DOGM132W5 struct looks like this:

pub struct DOGM132W5;
impl DisplaySpecs<132, 32, 4> for DOGM132W5 {
    const FLIP_ROWS: bool = false;
    const FLIP_COLUMNS: bool = true;
    const INVERTED: bool = false;
    const BIAS_MODE_1: bool = false;
    const POWER_CONTROL: PowerControlMode = PowerControlMode {
        booster_circuit: true,
        voltage_regulator_circuit: true,
        voltage_follower_circuit: true,
    };
    const VOLTAGE_REGULATOR_RESISTOR_RATIO: u8 = 0b011;
    const ELECTRONIC_VOLUME: u8 = 0b011111;
    const BOOSTER_RATIO: BoosterRatio = BoosterRatio::StepUp2x3x4x;
    const COLUMN_OFFSET: u8 = 0;
}

The exact values for the respective display have to be taken from the display's manual.
