Hello karl

thanks for you reply

I could print fast the image and text . i saw other example with nrf51

st7735 with nrf51 this link is for image print

Controlling ST7789 LCD with NRF52 DK this post to text fast devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../WhatsApp-Video-2022_2D00_12_2D00_12-at-8.26.23-AM.mp4

I adapted it into my code, it works

thank you for you support

Hello again, Tadeo

I am glad to hear that you have made improvements to the screen control! :)

[quote user="Marcos Tadeo"]i would like to get faster print image[/quote]

Is the primary issue to clear the screen faster (i.e without the gradual overwrite of the screen), or is there a specific 'refresh rate' you are looking for?
In case of the former, do you know that the screen supports this?
In case of the latter, how do you measure this?

Do you have the datasheet for the screen driver?
Does the datasheet of the screen driver mention a recommended way to print the screen, or what you can do to increase the speed of the print?

Best regards,
Karl

Hello Karl

thank you for you reply

[quote userid="87869" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/94430/gfx-library-print-fucnction/399443"]What configuration are you using for you SPI?[/quote]

this is my SPI Configuration

[quote userid="87869" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/94430/gfx-library-print-fucnction/399443"]Have you taken a look at the GFX library documentation concerning LCD frame buffering?[/quote]

Yes, i saw this post Controlling ST7789 LCD with NRF52 DK

the print font is better but i need to implement screen clear like a rect fill

[quote userid="87869" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/94430/gfx-library-print-fucnction/399443"]Which guide/tutorial are you following, is it the GFX Library example - and if so, is the changes to the while(1) loop above the only modifications you have made to the example?[/quote]

Yes I am using the GFX library example, I changed the SPI Freq 100k to 8M and I implemented Controlling ST7789 LCD with NRF52 DK this example to ST7735 and improved the print method ,

and new screen clear method,

this is the result

the video shows this

i would like to get faster print image

thank and regards

Hello again,

[quote user="Marcos Tadeo"]my english is not good[/quote]

No worries at all - I will ask if anything is unclear! :)

[quote user="Marcos Tadeo"]

I'm thinking , maybe i have a print screen problem , because is flashing ,

attached a video example, here the lcd print a numbers and do a animation , but its no flashing

[/quote]

I see - I thought the video might have exaggerated the stuttering on the refresh.
Have you taken a look at the GFX library documentation concerning LCD frame buffering?

[quote user="Marcos Tadeo"]I moved different values, but I don't see any change.[/quote]

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? What values did you change, and where did you expect to see the difference?

Best regards,
Karl

Hello

[quote userid="87869" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/94430/gfx-library-print-fucnction/398553"]I am not sure either what is the problem - could you elaborate on the behavior you are observing, and how it is different from what you would have expected?[/quote]

Yes sure, sorry

I'm thinking , maybe i have a print screen problem , because is flashing ,

attached a video example, here the lcd print a numbers and do a animation , but its no flashing

I was analyzing the problem i have no idea if i need to add a buffer funtion or some configuration in sdk_ config.h or nrf_gfx library

i saw this function

I moved different values, but I don't see any change.

i want to make a watch also, using nrf_calendar library ,

i can to show a image, and print string characteres with diferents fonts , but the printting is slow
