- Sun Jan 17, 2016 12:59 pm #39064 Sorry WereCatf, but you didn't understand the question from danbricks.

The Adafruit_IL9341_AS and Adafruit_GFX_AS are enhancements to the original Adafruit libraries that increased speed and added some nice fonts. It was written by Bodmer. http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-TFT-display-and-font-library/
However, like the original Adafruit libraries, they do not work with ESP8266.

The Bodmer fonts are nice but not nearly as good as the UCG library. However, his terminal program with hardware scrolling would be way cool if it could be combined with an ESP8266.

- Sun Jan 17, 2016 4:16 pm #39077 You can just compile in more fonts in the Adafruit GFX - library, and there are already a whole bunch of them and instructions on how to add custom ones, too, but I guess this guy completely missed that. Also, I was planning on adding that scrolling-function to the ESP8266-optimized ILI9341-fork as soon as I get mine in the mail, and a few other things that are missing from it.

'Fonts' folder contains bitmap fonts for use with recent (1.1 and later) Adafruit_GFX. To use a font in your Arduino sketch, #include the corresponding .h file and pass address of GFXfont struct to setFont(). Pass NULL to revert to 'classic' fixed-space bitmap font.

Oh well, I'll butt out of this, then, my apologies.

Assumption is a bad thing WereCatf. The library I have is the standard GFX and not the modified 26 days ago version you have pointed to. So very simply it does not contain additional fonts and or custom methods.

I will try the one you have pointed to and give that a whirl, thanks for your intervention, and do ensure your comments are respectful to other members!

Danbicks!

- Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:17 pm #39185 FYI...I've used the adafruit GFX, with the IL9341 esp modified driver and this spapadim (for xpt2046 touch driver).

I've actually modified spapadim XPT2046 driver to support SPI transactions since the adafruit library supports it. I've tested 32Mhz on the TFT with 2Mhz for the touch and seems to work ok (haven't tested all graphic functions).

I also have a page for this hardware on how to setup (although it doens't have the updated source for spi transactions yet)
