Code-Library for EVE TFTs

Post by Rudolph »

Just a little self-promotion, well, sort of since the stuff is for free under MIT license, I have a code-library for FT8xx up on Github:
https://github.com/RudolphRiedel/FT800-FT813.

This is setup to support the full range of FT8xx.
Although I plan to remove FT80x support in the future, likely when BT815/BT816 support is implemented and if these need special code.
The FT80x are just outdated by now, especially with the full range of displays from Matrix Orbital that feature FT812/FT813 and nothing less.

Supported are all FT8xx modules so far that I am aware of including of course the EVE2 TFTs from Matrix Orbital.

Plus it is multi-plattform.
I mainly use it with AVR controllers for now, but also used it with Arduino AVR and ESP8266, RH850 and lately Infineon Aurix TC222.
And I have reports that it works on a whole lot of other controllers like STM32, PIC, SAM4, SAMV70...

In regards of the EVE2 TFTs I have code in place to make use of the GT911 touch-controller used in the cap-touch versions from Matrix Orbital.

I just released the first interation of V5 of my code library:
https://github.com/RudolphRiedel/FT800-FT813/tree/5.x

This removes support for FT800 and FT801 but in return it is even faster.
And I am preparing for the release of EVE4 but for the time beeing had to remove anything related to it.

Following the official release of BT817 / BT818 with datasheet and programming manual I just pushed the first release of my code library to Github with support for BT817 / BT818.

https://github.com/RudolphRiedel/FT800-FT813

There may be some kinks left as I did not have the programming manual before and was using a preliminary version of the datasheet, but in general it works.
