A brief analysis of underlying interfaces
We have carried out the low-level encapsulation, if you need to know the internal implementation can go to the corresponding directory to check ,for the reason that the hardware platform and the internal implementation are different
We can open DEV_Config.c(.h) to see definitions,which in the catalogue RaspberryPi\c\lib\Config
1.There are three ways for C to drive:BCM2835 library, WiringPi library and Dev library respectively 2.We use Dev library by default. If you need to use BCM2835 or WiringPi to drive the RaspberryPi\c\Makefile, open RaspberryPi\c\Makefile and modify lines 13-15 as follows:
- Interface selection:
#define USE_SPI_4W 1 #define USE_IIC 0 Note:Switch SPI/I2C directly modified here
- Data type
#define UBYTE uint8_t #define UWORD uint16_t #define UDOUBLE uint32_t
- Module initialization and exit processing
void DEV_Module_Init(void); void DEV_Module_Exit(void); Note: here is some GPIO processing before and after using the LCD screen.
- Write GPIO
void DEV_Digital_Write(UWORD Pin, UBYTE Value) Parameter: UWORD Pin: GPIO Pin number UBYTE Value: level to be output, 0 or 1
- Read GPIO
UBYTE DEV_Digital_Read(UWORD Pin) Parameter:UWORD Pin:GPIO Pin number Return value: level of GPIO, 0 or 1
- GPIO mode setting
void DEV_GPIO_Mode(UWORD Pin, UWORD Mode) Parameters:UWORD Pin: GPIO Pin number UWORD Mode: Mode, 0: input, 1: output
GUI simple analysis
For the screen, if you need to draw pictures, display Chinese and English characters, display pictures, etc., you can use the upper application to do.,and we provide some basic functions here about some graphics processing in the directory RaspberryPi\c\lib\GUI\GUI_Paint.c(.h).

Python(for Raspberry Pi)
Works with Python and Python3
Python are less complex compared to C
config.py
- Select interface
Device_SPI = 1 Device_I2C = 0 Note: Switch SPI/I2C modified here
- Module initialization and exit processing:
def module_init() def module_exit() Note: 1. Here is some GPIO processing before and after using the LCD screen. 2. The module_init() function is automatically called in the INIT () initializer on the LCD, but the module_exit() function needs to be called by itself
- SPI write data
def spi_writebyte(data)
- IIC write data
i2c_writebyte(reg, value):
main.py
The main function, if your Python version is Python2, is re-executed in Linux command mode as follows:
sudo python main.py
If your Python version is Python3, run the following command in Linux:
sudo python3 main.py
Painting by GUI
Because Python has an image library PIL official library link, it is very powerful, do not need to write code from the logical layer like C, can directly call to the image library for image processing, the following will take 1.54inch LCD as an example, the program used in a brief description
- It need to use the image library, you need to install the library
sudo apt-get install python3-pil
And then import the library
from PIL import Image,ImageDraw,ImageFont
from PIL import Image,ImageDraw,ImageFont
- Define an image buffer to drawing, writing, and other functions on pictures
image1 = Image.new("1", (disp.width, disp.height), "WHITE")
The first parameter defines the color depth of the image, which is defined as "1" to indicate a bitmap of one bit depth. The second parameter is a tuple that defines the width and height of the image. The third parameter defines the default color of the buffer, which is defined as "WHITE."
- Create a drawing object based on Image1 on which all drawing operations will be performed
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image1)
- Draw line
draw.line([(0,0),(127,0)], fill = 0)
The first parameter is a four-element tuple starting at (0, 0) and ending at (127,0). Draw a line. Fill ="0" means the color of the line is white
- Draw frame
draw.rectangle([(20,10),(70,60)],fill = "WHITE",outline="BLACK")
The first argument is a tuple of four elements. (20,10) is the coordinate value in the upper left corner of the rectangle, and (70,60) is the coordinate value in the lower right corner of the rectangle. Fill =" WHITE" means BLACK inside, and outline="BLACK" means BLACK outside.
- Draw circle
draw.arc((150,15,190,55),0, 360, fill =(0,255,0)
Draw an inscribed circle in the square, the first parameter is a tuple of 4 elements, with (150, 15) as the upper left corner vertex of the square, (190, 55) as the lower right corner vertex of the square, specifying the level of the rectangular frame The median line is an angle of 0 degrees, the angle becomes larger clockwise, the second parameter indicates the starting angle, the third parameter identifies the ending angle, and fill = 0 indicates that the line is white If it is not a square, the drawn is an ellipse, which is actually the drawing of an arc.
Besides arc, ellipse can draw solid circles
draw.ellipse((150,65,190,105), fill = 0)
The first parameter specifies the outer tangent rectangle of the string. Fill = 0 means that the inner fill color is white. If the outer tangent matrix of the ellipse is square, the ellipse is a circle.
- Character
The ImageFont module needs to be imported and instantiated:
Font1 = ImageFont.truetype("../Font/Font01.ttf",25) Font2 = ImageFont.truetype("../Font/Font01.ttf",35) Font3 = ImageFont.truetype("../Font/Font02.ttf",32)
For a better visual experience, free fonts from the web are used here, and other TTF-ending font library files are also supported.
Note: Each character library contains different characters; If some characters cannot be displayed, it is recommended that they be used according to the encoding set used by the font library
Write English characters can be used directly, write Chinese, because the encoding is GB2312, so need to add a U in front:
draw.text((5, 68), 'Hello world', fill = 0, font=Font1) text= u"微雪电子" draw.text((5, 200), text, fill = 0, font=Font3)
The first parameter is a two-element tuple with (5,68) as the left vertex, font font1, fill for font color, fill = 0, so the font color is white, and the second sentence shows’微雪电子’, font color is white.
- Read local picture
The parameter is the image path.
- Other functions
Python's image library is very powerful, if need to implement other more, can learn on the website http://effbot.org/imagingbook pil.
