Digole 1.8" TrueColor OLED - Color Bitmap

clyde · June 27, 2014, 6:10am

Hi all,

does anyone have a Digole 1,8" OLED?
I have a problem using the function drawBitmap256(x,y,w,h, const uint8_t *Bitmap).
Every time I use the 256 function the Core blinks magenta (flashing) then it stops blinking a short time and returns directly with a white breathing (normal ops). It run directly in the main loop. No setup will be executed.
If I remove the 256 and run only drawBitmap() then it works but I have only B/W images. Flashing magenta, starts flashing green (connecting to network/cloud) breathing white setup run.

I draw the pictures with: http://pixieengine.com/pixel-editor and convert it with the Digole “convert picture to c code” converter. Any ideas why it crashes with color bitmaps?

#define _Digole_Serial_SPI_
#include "DigoleSerialDisp.h"
DigoleSerialDisp digole(A2); //SPI

const uint8_t myTest[] =  {....}

void setup() {
    digole.begin();
    digole.disableCursor();
    digole.clearScreen();
    digole.drawBitmap(0,2,32,32, myTest);

void loop {
digole.clearScreen();
digole.print("Hello World");
}

Could you quickly check the RAM usage?

clyde · June 27, 2014, 6:17am

How can I do that? Sorry don´t know.

kennethlimcp · June 27, 2014, 6:29am

In the Web IDE, when you compile, at the error output area, you will see a !

Click on that and you should see the memory usage display. if you don’t just add in a SPACE or some movement to your code and compile again

BDub · June 27, 2014, 6:55am

I have one of those displays… can you post your full problem code? You can format it nice like this

```cpp
// put code in here
```

clyde · June 27, 2014, 7:45am

@kennethlimcp: I got only a “Ready.” No (i)

Sorry

@kennethlimcp: When I use compile and download the bin file is 75,5kb

kennethlimcp · June 27, 2014, 8:46am

I guess we have to wait for @BDub to be up and running before getting a reply. These aren’t the area i have been messing with

clyde · June 27, 2014, 8:48am

Not the problem, thanks anyway @kennethlimcp

peekay123 · June 27, 2014, 2:06pm

@clyde, I also have one of those displays and ran your code, unmodified without any problems! I used the Spark CLI to compile and used @timb’s repo for the code. It displayed the logo in color and then gave me a proper earthling greeting

How did you create/compile your code?

Dave · June 27, 2014, 2:30pm

This is maybe a silly question, could the power draw be spiking or something during that write? A long-white RGB led on core startup can indicate the core is having a problem initializing the cc3000, and I’ve seen that happen with bad USB cables, or when underpowering the core.

Thanks,
David

peekay123 · June 27, 2014, 2:38pm

@Dave, interesting point and I forgot to ask!

@clyde, how are you powering your Digole. From the Vin pin or one of the 3.3V pins?

clyde · June 27, 2014, 3:28pm

@Dave The OLEDs VCC is powered with VIN the USB cable is the one that comes with the core.

@peekay123: WebIDE

BDub · June 27, 2014, 3:34pm

The only time I've seen it flash magenta is when you reprogram the Core OTA.

Perhaps a video of the behavior would be appropriate if there are no issues with the power connections.

clyde · June 27, 2014, 7:28pm

Ok got it to work

Changed the USB cable
Changed the code, because I wanted to use that image 2nd time. But that did not work.
Maybe not enough memory.

B/W works fine… Thx for testing and all the help.

clyde · June 28, 2014, 6:11pm

Video

@peekay123, @BDub, @kennethlimcp, @Dave Should run enjoy!

Dave · June 28, 2014, 7:28pm

That’s sweet! Nice job!

peekay123 · June 28, 2014, 7:34pm

@clyde, OMG I think I’m going to cry

BDub · June 29, 2014, 2:52am

Awexome @clyde! Glad to have helped!
