DisplayIO missing from library

djecken opened this issue 5 years ago · 8 comments

Testing TFT Gizmo example with Circuit Playground Express running Circuit Python V5 alpha 4. I have the following libraries installed from circuit python 5 bundle:

adafruit_bus_device
adafruit_display_shapes
adafruit_display_text
adafruit_st7789.mpy

Traceback (most recent call last): File "code.py", line 7, in <module> ImportError: no module named 'displayio'

Are you using the circuit_playground_express_displayio build?

We should add this to the downloads page so it can be linked to in the guide.

I'll update the guide with Jerry's link for now though.

Fixed in TFT Gizmo guide.

Thanks! Testing cpx now with latest UF2 displayio build and getting new error. Display loads graphics for a brief second before crashing and going to REPL.

code.py output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "code.py", line 39, in <module> MemoryError: memory allocation failed, allocating 5600 bytes

Yeah, if you look at the TFT gizmo guide at the top, there's already a warning about that at the top. It has enough memory to run drawing or maybe just label, but not both.
