AtomGL

AtomGL is a display driver for a number of different display models and technologies.

This component is not meant for being used directly, instead an additional layer should take care of pushing updates to it. For this reason no additional NIFs are provided.

Please, use this component with a supported AtomVM version, such as v0.6.

Getting Started

1. Add this component to the ESP32 components directory
2. Open a display port using the right options
3. Start an avm_scene that will push updates to the display

Display Option Example

The following is an example for ILI9341:

  [...]
  # spi is already open

  ili_display_opts = [
    width: 320,
    height: 240,
    compatible: "ilitek,ili9341",
    reset: 18,
    cs: 22,
    dc: 21,
    backlight: 5,
    backlight_active: :low,
    backlight_enabled: true,
    rotation: 1,
    enable_tft_invon: false,
    spi_host: spi
  ]

  :erlang.open_port({:spawn, "display"}, display_opts)
  [...]

Primitives

The display driver takes care of drawing a list of primitive items. Such as:

    rendered = [
      {:text, 10, 20, :default16px, 0x000000, 0x808080, "Hello."},
      {:rect, 0, 0, width, height, 0x808080}
    ]

Following primitives are supported:

• image
• scaled_cropped_image
• rect
• text
