Proof that the nRF52832 is a beast of computation power

Fabien Comte

Here is a demo of a small graphics engine I designed that allows me to embark moving pictures on a nRF52832 directly in code with a reasonable occupied memory size (i can do RLE or LZ4 compression).

The screen Newhaven Display (NHD-C12864A1Z-FSRGB-FBW-HT1) which is given for 3 to 4 FPS is here pushed to its limits with some tricks to 8 FPS. The nRF52832 is cool here, for animations i can run up to 100 FPS depending on complexity but the screen cannot follow the cadence (because pixel commutation time is too long and contrast become to weak).

  • Hello,

    I cannot provide any source because this is the property of my client but i found that during my pre research (github.com/.../u8glib). I have not used it because I have written a special graphics lib that minimise SPI transferts to minimum to maximum avoid radio perturbations for GPS*.

    *: fun fact, I did some tests. Average bytes count exchanged to update image pass from more than 1 Kbytes to 35 bytes (I just send deltas) !!! On GPS cold start for difficults conditions (indoor), first fix is up to 2 times faster (mean on multiple tries) when I activate minimisation in my lib.
