Thanks for your answers Roberthh You can use FSMC to both write and read from the GRAM of the TFT exactly the same as your bit bang version. And I found the same thing once that I went to 16bit FSMC that IO to the screen was now way quicker than any other part of the pipleine. I used DMA to stream f...

Using the mem_xx() functions is very slow. For initialization, that's fine. But for other operations like setting coordinates or data transfer using native code and direct pointers is way faster. I used that for my SSD1963 driver (https://github.com/robert-hh/SSD1963-TFT-Library-for-PyBoard), which...

Hello John Been working on this too and have a lot of code already written stuck on some :- void FSMC_Init(void){ //enable RCC for FSMC and both GPIO ports RCC->AHB3ENR |= RCC_AHB3ENR_FSMCEN; RCC->AHB1ENR |= RCC_AHB1ENR_GPIODEN | RCC_AHB1ENR_GPIOEEN; and //setup FSMC on Bank1 NORSRAM1 //setup timin...

Also when I wired up my TFT I mainly used the TFT header on the STM32F407VRT6 black except I used different pin for the RS/DC pin and reset pin. On the header it connects the reset pin to the reset button on the board but I connected it to PD12 so that I could do a hardware reset in software so if y...

Wow, that's amazing, thanks for doing this! I wonder if jupyter + micropython can be shared somehow to avoid duplicating work, I seem to have typed exactly the same thing. For reference, help(stm) outputs the following (see below), so the register address is stm.RCC_AHB3ENR and FSMEN (according to ...

Hello Many thanks for the code, I understand the first 2 paragraphs but I seem to be confused where this code would go, does it have to compiled in the firmware ? Regards Mike As I stated above I have only used this in C and haven't yet compiled it in to the MP firmware. My story is this I only sta...

First you need to understand how FSMC works with these screens. It utilizes the 8080 ram interface, this basically has 16 data lines and 16 address lines then a few control lines(chip select, read, write). With the TFT they don't use all the address line to address the RAM but rather uses only 1 add...

I would always advise using ESP32 rather than ESP8266 because ESP32 is so so much more capable than the ESP8266 and is not much more to buy. I started with ESP8266 but for a number of my projects I kept hitting a wall then I switched to ESP32 and it broken all the walls I was hitting.

This is something that ESP32 running micro-python is able to do
