# ILI9486-Elixir

ILI9486 driver for Elixir.

Tested on 
- Waveshare 3.5" SPI LCD RPi LCD (A) (480x320). 16MHz
- Waveshare 3.5" SPI LCD RPi LCD (C) (480x320). 125MHz

## Example

```elixir
# default
# assuming LCD device at /dev/spidev0.0
# DC connects to PIN 24
# RST not connected
# SPI speed: 16MHz
# Pixel Format: BGR565
{:ok, disp} = ILI9486.new()
```

```elixir
# default with touch panel
# DC connects to PIN 24
# RST connects to PIN 25
# SPI speed: 16MHz
# Pixel Format: RGB666 (for demo only, not necessary)
# Touch panel device at /dev/spidev0.1
# Touch panel IRQ PIN 17
{:ok, disp} = ILI9486.new(
    speed_hz: 16_000_000,
    pix_fmt: :bgr666,
    rst: 25,
    touch_cs: 1,
    touch_irq: 17
)
```

high-speed variant (125MHz SPI)
```elixir
# assuming LCD device at /dev/spidev0.0
# DC connects to PIN 24
# RST connects to PIN 25 (for demo only, not necessary)
# SPI speed: 125MHz
# Pixel Format: BGR666 (for demo only, not necessary)
{:ok, disp} = ILI9486.new(
    is_high_speed: true,
    speed_hz: 125_000_000,
    pix_fmt: :bgr666,
    rst: 25
)
```

high-speed variant (125MHz SPI) with touch panel
```elixir
# assuming LCD device at /dev/spidev0.0
# DC connects to PIN 24
# RST connects to PIN 25 (for demo only, not necessary)
# SPI speed: 125MHz
# Pixel Format: BGR666 (for demo only, not necessary)
# Touch panel device at /dev/spidev0.1
# Touch panel IRQ PIN 17
{:ok, disp} = ILI9486.new(
    is_high_speed: true,
    speed_hz: 125_000_000,
    pix_fmt: :bgr666,
    rst: 25,
    touch_cs: 1,
    touch_irq: 17
)
```

injecting pre-opened SPI and GPIO handles
```elixir
{:ok, spi_lcd}   = Circuits.SPI.open("spidev0.0", speed_hz: 16_000_000)
{:ok, spi_touch} = Circuits.SPI.open("spidev0.1", speed_hz: 50_000)

{:ok, gpio_dc}  = Circuits.GPIO.open(24, :output)
{:ok, gpio_rst} = Circuits.GPIO.open(25, :output)

{:ok, disp} = ILI9486.new(
    spi_lcd:   spi_lcd,
    spi_touch: spi_touch,
    gpio_dc:   gpio_dc,
    gpio_rst:  gpio_rst
)
```

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
by adding `ili9486_elixir` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:ili9486_elixir, "~> 0.1.3"}
  ]
end
```
