Display module for a Boba Fett costume. Uses a 2" TFT display instead of the traditional segment display/LED bar graph combination. The goal behind this choice was a thinner electronics package and the ability to make some customizations not afforded by a 7-segment display.
- Adafruit FLORA v3 (ATmega32u4 Chip)
- Adafruit 2.0" 320x240 Color IPS TFT Display (ST7789 TFT Driver)
- Adafruit GFX Library
- Adafruit BusIO
- Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library
- Install
arduino-cli
if it is not yet installed. - Create configuration file if you have not yet created one:
arduino-cli config init
- Install board support for the Adafruit FLORA:
arduino-cli config add board_manager.additional_urls https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json arduino-cli core update-index arduino-cli core install adafruit:avr
- Add dependent libraries:
arduino-cli lib update-index arduino-cli lib install "Adafruit GFX Library" arduino-cli lib install "Adafruit BusIO" arduino-cli lib install "Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library"
The sketch can be compiled with make, assuming the steps in development have been followed.
make clean # Delete build files
make # Build sketch
make install # Upload sketch to Adafruit FLORA
