Hi

I have had GUISlice working on a 2.8" TFT but now I have a 7" SSD1963 TFT that I want to use with GuiSlice.

I can get the TFT to work sucessfully using the UTFT master library and the UTFT_Demo_800x480 example.

In the GUIslice_config.h file I have uncommented out the line: #include "../configs/ard-shld-eastrising_50_ssd1963_res.h" (the pin numbers are correct) but now my program won't compile. I have attached the errors below:

Arduino: 1.8.15 (Windows Store 1.8.49.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

exit status 1

Error compiling for board Arduino Mega or Mega 2560.



This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Any help is appreciated.

@PrattTechnologies @ImpulseAdventure A little research shows that you can use any of the fonts listed on this web page
UTFT Fonts
Say you wanted to use Ubuntu 24x32 pixels. Download it into your arduino\library\UTFT folder, ubuntu.c
Now in the Builder the closest font would be FreeMono, Regular, size 24.
Create your project and do a code gen.
Edit your projectname_GSLC.h file and add this

// ------------------------------------------------
// Program Globals
// ------------------------------------------------
extern uint8_t Ubuntu[];

Then find the font settings in this same file and modify as so:

Hi @PrattTechnologies --

Can you confirm which version of GUIslice you installed?

Please look at C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src\GUIslice_version.h
If you are not using the latest (should be at least 0.16.1), please update from GitHub

I just re-tested the latest GUIslice with ard-shld-eastrising_50_ssd1963_res.h selected in the GUIslice_config.h and didn't experience any compilation issues.

The error you are seeing suggests that DRV_TOUCH_URTOUCH has not been defined in your active selected config file.

Please confirm that you were selecting the config in C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src\GUIslice_config.h
Were any changes made to your file at: C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\configs\ard-shld-eastrising_50_ssd1963_res.h?

thx

@ImpulseAdventure
Thanks,
I was using GUIslice v 0.16.0, I have updated to 0.16.1.4.

I was indeed using the GUIslice_config.h file at C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src\GUIslice_config.h.
I haven't changed C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\configs\ard-shld-eastrising_50_ssd1963_res.h at all.

After updating GUIslice, My compilation error was now just:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src\GUIslice_drv_utft.cpp:64:14: fatal error: URTouch.h: No such file or directory
     #include <URTouch.h>

I downloaded URTouch from http://www.rinkydinkelectronics.com/library.php?id=92 and installed it.

Now my compilation error is:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\ccQ1dUtN.ltrans0.ltrans.o: In function `gslc_InitDebug':
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src/GUIslice.c:379: undefined reference to `DebugOut(char)'
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src/GUIslice.c:379: undefined reference to `DebugOut(char)'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I cannot locate the file C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\cc8ho5mI.ltrans0.ltrans.o

EDIT: I can get most of the GUIslice examples to work but they are backwards (mirrored).

Thanks for the help.

Further information:

The shield I bought is https://au.banggood.com/2_8-3_2-Inch-TFT-SD-Shield-Expansion-Board-For-MEGA-2560-LCD-Module-SD-Card-p-1307805.html?cur_warehouse=CN

The TFT I bought is https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32879317835.html

I have an Arduino Mega 2560 (ATMega2560).

I was having trouble (backwards/mirrored also) running UTFT examples but they are working correctly after changing
UTFT myGLCD(ITDB50,38,39,40,41);
to
UTFT myGLCD(CTE70,38,39,40,41);

Are you able to tell me where the constructor's for GUIslice are located? I am having trouble locating them.

@PrattTechnologies isn't it line 81 of your ard-shld-eastxxx.h file?
#define DVR_DISP_UTFT_INIT

Hi @Pconti31
Thanks for the help.

I changed the line
#define DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT SSD1963_800, 38, 39, 40, 41 // (800x480) Shield on MEGA
to
#define DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT SSD1963_800ALT, 38, 39, 40, 41 // (800x480) Shield on MEGA

It still wouldn't compile so I commented out the debugout char's as referred to in the compiler errors:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src/GUIslice.c:379: undefined reference to `DebugOut(char)'
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GUIslice\src/GUIslice.c:379: undefined reference to `DebugOut(char)'

Good news: The code now compiles.
However, the screen is just a scramble. There is one green line which is correct but the rest is scrambled (kind of looks like QR codes on the screen).

Pconti31 Aug 30, 2021

I would try:

#define DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT CTE70, 38, 39, 40, 41 // (800x480) Shield on MEGA

Since you said previously CTE70 worked.

Thanks @Pconti31
The code compiled but I get the same result with define DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT CTE70, 38, 39, 40, 41 // (800x480) Shield on MEGA
as I do with
#define DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT SSD1963_800ALT, 38, 39, 40, 41 // (800x480) Shield on MEGA

Not sure if it is helpful, but:

I can get the UTFT DEMO 800x480 example to work and most of the GUIslice examples. With the GUIslice examples, they do not fill the entire screen, only about 1/10th of the screen (not in a corner, about 1/4 of the way from the left side and 1/4 up from the bottom).

In GUIslice Builder, I can make a 800x480 GUI with just a green background and it compiles and fills the screen with a green background.
If I add non "built-in" text or boxes/shapes etc. I get the fuzzy scramble.

@PrattTechnologies @ImpulseAdventure ???? Well this is a puzzle. Ok, lets start with the error you got at the very first post. Multiple libraries were found for "UTFT.h"
This means you have both utft-master and UTFT in Arduino\library
Pick one and delete the other. MAKE SURE UTFT DEMO 800x480 still works!

Now list the versions of software in use. The Arduino IDE will do this if you you just compile your program so you can cut and paste it to your new post.
Can you post a link to where to download the UTFT library you are using?
Also your URTouch library?

UTFT DEMO 800x480 doesn't use Touch so maybe URTouch is causing a problem so keep
DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT CTE70, 38, 39, 40, 41 // (800x480) Shield on MEGA
to match UTFT DEMO 800x480 but disable touch in your GUIslice example.
In you config file

//  #define DRV_TOUCH_URTOUCH         // URTouch
  #define DRV_TOUCH_NONE               // No touch enabled

If that still fails post picture of failure by drag and drop to your post, if you can.

Thanks @Pconti31

I have removed the "utft-master" library and am just using the UTFT library. The 800x480 demo still works, I noted that both the 800x480 demo under "Arduino (ARMS) + Teensy" AND "Arduino (AVR)" both work.
I got the UTFT library from http://www.rinkydinkelectronics.com/library.php?id=51

I got the URtouch library from http://www.rinkydinkelectronics.com/library.php?id=92

I disabled the URTOUCH using the line as suggested #define DRV_TOUCH_NONE // No touch enabled

Unfortunately this still hasn't worked. I have attached a picture of the TFT screen.

Looking at guislice driver for utft I found it only supports SmallFont so if you try any other it will be a problem. This font is 8x12 which isn't supported by the builder.
You said in an earlier post you had a version working but it was mirrored. Is that still true? If so what was your DRV_DISP_UTFT_INIT value? If you can tell me that I'll examine the utft.cpp init code to determine if I can fix the mirror image.
Test using examples\arduino\ex01_ard_basic_test and ex02_ard_btn_test

Hi Paul
The working version that was mirrored was the 800x480 DEMO, which was fixed by using CTE70 in the config.

I've run the 2 examples and attached a pic of each.

Thanks again for the help!

@PrattTechnologies @ImpulseAdventure Well, those two look good to me. So knowing that you can only use SmallFont at the moment is there any example program inside examples\arduino that the display fails now?

Did touch work with ex02?

For the Builder you would need to use the Builtin font 5x8 or 10x16 which GUIslice api will change to SmallFont 8x12. I can look at better font support for the Builder and maybe GUIslice API for UTFT displays if that is the only issue left.

Thanks @Pconti31
The touch does work - I have to press the middle of the TFT to get the button to press (about 2 inches right and 1 inch down from where the button is).

I think all of the examples work except the "diag_ard_touch_detect" example which has this error:

Arduino: 1.8.15 (Windows Store 1.8.49.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

diag_ard_touch_detect:31:4: error: #error "Only DRV_TOUCH_ADA_SIMPLE supports pin detection"

   #error "Only DRV_TOUCH_ADA_SIMPLE supports pin detection"

    ^~~~~

exit status 1

#error "Only DRV_TOUCH_ADA_SIMPLE supports pin detection"

I tested with the 10x16 Builtin font and that does work.

If you could look at different font support, that would be amazing, for myself I mainly just need a larger font size. But if I were a chooser and not a beggar, I like the "freesans/freemono/freeserif" fonts ;)
Or if there is a way I can import a font with larger text size that works with UTFT and GUIslice that would be great too.

Thanks

@PrattTechnologies @ImpulseAdventure I'll look into it for you. A quick hack will let you use BigFone 16x16.
Find the routine inside GUIslice_drv_utft.cpp

const void* gslc_DrvFontAdd(gslc_teFontRefType eFontRefType, const void* pvFontRef, uint16_t nFontSz)

and change the line from:

    pvFontRef = SmallFont;

to

    pvFontRef = BigFont;

@PrattTechnologies @ImpulseAdventure A little research shows that you can use any of the fonts listed on this web page
UTFT Fonts
Say you wanted to use Ubuntu 24x32 pixels. Download it into your arduino\library\UTFT folder, ubuntu.c
Now in the Builder the closest font would be FreeMono, Regular, size 24.
Create your project and do a code gen.
Edit your projectname_GSLC.h file and add this

// ------------------------------------------------
// Program Globals
// ------------------------------------------------
extern uint8_t Ubuntu[];

Then find the font settings in this same file and modify as so:

  // ------------------------------------------------
  // Load Fonts
  // ------------------------------------------------
//<Load_Fonts !Start!>
//    if (!gslc_FontSet(&m_gui,E_FREEMONO24,GSLC_FONTREF_PTR,&FreeMono24pt7b,1)) { return; }
    if (!gslc_FontSet(&m_gui,E_FREEMONO24,GSLC_FONTREF_PTR,&Ubuntu,1)) { return; }
//<Load_Fonts !End!>

That's it. I know its a pain but that's the best we can do until I can modify the Builder.
I'll try and get it in either in the next release or a hot fix.

That works perfectly, my code compiles, runs and the TFT works great.
Thank you so much @Pconti31 !!!!

@PrattTechnologies I have a beta version of the Builder that will fully support UTFT fonts.
If you want to test it just post what platform you will use, Windows, Linux, or MAC and I'll post a download link for you.
