BOOSTXL-SHARP128: BOOSTXL-SHARP128 with MSP430FR5969

Hey Kris,

Do you have a launchpad for the LCD Boosterpack to plug onto? The most common is the msp-exp430g2et.

Here is a code example using GRLIB with the launchpad: dev.ti.com/.../

Unfortunantly, I don't know of any Energia Examples.

Thanks,
JD

Thanks.

I have found some Energia examples on-line, but I can't get it to work properly. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? See below.

Display is just a load of random dots and dashes. I can use myScreen.clear() to clear the screen.

BTW, I'm using the MSP-EXP430FR5969 launchpad

It's using morse code. 8^)

I had this problem because the software was set for the 96x96 LCD not the 128x128. A simple change to the define fixed it. (Note this was Ti software, not Energia.)

Hi,

What change did you make to the define?

I've tried adding the following, to no avail.

#define LCD_VERTICAL_MAX    128
#define LCD_HORIZONTAL_MAX  128

Again this was for Ti, not Energia,
I had to change BOARD_DISPLAY_SHARP_SIZE in boards.h

Thanks

Using the files. Still unable to get it to compile. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi,
have you included the Terminal12.h file in your ino file as well?
Can you share the full error report?
Please share you exact setup:
- ino file or example sketch you have used
- launchpad you have selected.
- step you did to updated the library.

Otherwise it is quite hard to reproduce.

Hi,

Please see the error report and Sketch, below. I'm using the .cpp and .h etc files in your link.

Thanks

Hi,
you should not include this files in your sketch:
#include <Terminal12.h>
#include <Terminal6.h>

This is already done by the LCD lib include:
#include <LCD_SharpBoosterPack_SPI.h>

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks!

I've removed them and it now compiles; however, there still appears to be a problem. See below. I've noticed that the sketch doesn't get past myScreen.begin().

Hi Kris,

right the problem is that the FR5969 does not have enough RAM to hold the Buffer for the LCD.

But we can also use the FRAM for data handling.

So just pushed an update to github which does implement this.

After pulling this new version please go into the LCD_SharpBoosterPack_SPI.cpp file

and replace

    uint8_t _frameBuffer[128][128/8] PLACE_IN_FRAM;
with

    uint8_t _frameBuffer[128][128/8] __attribute__((section(".text;")));

As this is an pending issue which will also get fixed in the next release.

~ Stefan

Awesome. Thanks!

Looking for the update just now. Does it take some time for it to appear on github?
