GD23ZUTX Library

Library for Teensy 3.5/6, Teensy 4, STM32F1x, STM32F4x, and STM32F7x; based on Gameduino 3 library. For Teensy 3.6/3.6 or 4, this library can use the resources of the SdFat beta 2 of Greiman in order to manage media files like assets, cells, avi, png, jpeg or jpg files from the SDIO reader. Situable for **for FTDI EVE2 or EVE3 chips like FT810, FT811, FT813 or BT815.

History

We are an enthusiastic team of screens based on FTDI chip. We like programming and share our advances. We have reached this goal, our only interest is to give the opportunity to operate this library to multiple platforms of MCU's in the market. Wait for you to enjoy the codes, of our, your time. Two friends, in Mexico and another in Spain, the water or the puddle does not scare us ... Last month of May, a member of the Team, we left. We move on. Without any interest, we publish this library altruistically.

December 4, 2019: Update. Add support for Teensy 4 (GD23ZUTX)

June 7, 2018: Release initial (GD23ZU)

  1. Library based on James Bowman
  2. Library based on lightcalamar GD23STM32_F103x > programmed and modified by @TFTLCDCyg
  3. Library based on STM32_GD2 user @nopnop2002 this link

Library with function special playback videos on MCU's STM32F103x, STM32F407x, Nucleo-STM32F767ZI and Teensy 3.5/6. This library is compatible with the STM32 families described above. For any other MCU's you can use Unified Library GD23Z. All commands are equal to library genuine from James Bowman Gameduino 2/3 last release.

ESP32 support

It is not yet possible to play videos. To be working very hard and we hope to give the big surprise with this MCU. At the moment only work very fine with library Unified Library GD23Z.

Resolution in test videos files

Today test 700x400 pixels, work very well. Demo file

Testing resolution videos playback

1.June 8, 2018 increase in 790 x 470 pixels videos work very fine. 2.June 12, 2018 maximum resolution of videos is 790 x 470 pixels. 3.December 4, 2019 798x479 pixels

Software requirement

Installation

Linux

  1. Unzip library copy and paste in /home/your_user/arduino-1.8.5/libraries/
  2. Install Arduino Zero or Arduino Sam from the board manager for the arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler
  3. Download the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain. Recommended use GCC last version, change compiler.path in [platform.txt] (Linux not have problems with lower systems in programming, example win ...)

Windows

  1. Unzip library copy and paste path of IDE arduino-1.8.5/libraries/
  2. Install Arduino Zero or Arduino Sam from the board manager for the arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler
  3. Download the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain. Recommended use GCC ver 5.4.1-2016q2,Change compiler.path in platform.txt to point to that you downloaded.

Adjust the library according to your board and screen

See wiki. Information

  • GD23ZUTX has the same configuration considerations as GD23ZU

Extra libraries

  • To calibrate the FT81x screens in STM32Fx we need an external EEPROM. You can download the AT24C32 library from this link

  • Library SdFat for STM32F be included in core STMGENERIC. This be edited to work in STM32. DO NOT USE the official library. It will not work in STM32 architecture.

  • For teensy 3.5, 3.6 or 4 install SdFat beta 2: https://github.com/greiman/SdFat-beta

Tips

  • These screens have a problem, being the length of the SPI BUS cables. The purpose is to be very short, between 7 and 10 mm. Also a tip is to use on this same SPI BUS some pull-up resistors. Be a solution of a forum user by @raufjay

  • To avoid conflicts between the different versions of the SdFat library, we recommend installing the SdFat beta 2, in the teensyduino library directory. In the case of IDE 1.8.9, the path is: C:\arduino_189\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries

  • For teensy 4 you must install a SDIO reader
