Hey,

I'm trying to write a quick lightweight library that allows to implement the basic features of the display on a AVR atmega32u4 using arduino bootloader (same controller as an arduino leonardo).

I want to use the SPI interface, since uart is needed for some other part of my project and I2C is said to be difficult on this one.

I bought this display, it works using the demo code so there's no problem with the hardware (eg a pin that's not soldered etc). http://www.digole.com/index.php?productID=883

I am fairly sure the wiring is right, I'll put it here as well to be sure:
Vcc - Vcc

MOSI - Data

SCK - CLK

SS (not the one from the device, this is just a pin I assigned to this job) - SS

GND - GND

MISO on controller is left floating, tying it to ground or to MOSI doesn't change anything, except that it allows me to read my data back.

Tying SS to ground didn't change anything.

Here's the code, any thought on what could be wrong? Writing "CL" followed by "CS0" should simply clear the screen, from what I've understood, I've added CS0 in order to make sure the clear screen command is applied as said by the datasheet.

I'm not too fund of using a software SPI while I have hardware available, else I'd have copied the library more.

Cheers

 Few popular possible problem:

1) Not shorten the SPI jumper on the display module

2) Not pull the SCK and DATA pin to low logical level when SPI is idle

3) The SCK or DATA of SS pins from master controller is open drain, so it will not go high logical level as you want, add a pull up resister on each pin.

4) Logical Level on SS, SCK or DATA inverse

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestions.

It seems the 2nd one was right for me. Here's what seems to work now, I haven't tested it in depth yet.

// write function
void Display::write(uint8_t byte)
{
    DISP_SS_LOW;
    SPI.transfer(byte);
    PORT_SPI &= ~((1 << MOSI_PIN) | (1 << SCK_PIN));
    DISP_SS_HIGH;
}

Using SPI mode 1, frequency to be set to fck/64 (my controller runs at 16MHz).

I'll update if there's any more problem.

Cheers
