Dave Cherry / TheCodersCorner.com made this library available for you to use. It takes me significant effort to keep all my libraries current and working on a wide range of boards. Please consider making at least a one off donation via the sponsor button if you find it useful. In forks, please keep text to here intact.
These libraries provide several useful extensions that make programming embedded apps for non-trivial apps simpler. There are many different practical and familiar examples packaged with it in the examples folder. Below I cover each of the main functions briefly with a link to more detailed documentation. The API is almost identical between any selected board making it easier to port between the two.
- AdaFruit Fork in directory AdafruitGFXNativePort - MIT license
- All other code outside that folder - Apache license.
For Arduino and PlatformIO, see the links below or just library manager, this is just a grouping of all the libraries for those that wish to use CMake with a native toolchain such as PicoSDK.
Commercial users: Before asking any questions in the tcMenu discussion board about this project, please make a donation commensurate with your companies funds. This configuration will not be maintained unless we get enough donations.
We can support this toolchain on RP2040 PicoSDK, ESP-IDF, STM32Cube, Atmel AVR and SAMD. Please the the above link for more information.
All the coders corner libraries as a CMake artifact usable directly by Pico SDK. The links below are the main source for most of our libraries, apart from a few native only libraries hosted here.
- https://github.com/davetcc/TaskManagerIO
- https://github.com/davetcc/tcMenuLib
- https://github.com/davetcc/IoAbstraction
- https://github.com/davetcc/tcUnicodeHelper
- https://github.com/davetcc/SimpleCollections
- https://github.com/davetcc/LiquidCrystalIO
For all CMake cases you need a copy of all the libraries, run git submodule init recursive as follows:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Once this is done, ensure that you have CMake installed along with any native toolchains needed. As above, unlike the Arduino version, any commercial usage should be under a support agreement with us. Please do not ask questions about the commercial use of this toolchain in the regular discussion forums.
As per all other PicoSDK applications, you need to set up the environment variables and ensure these libraries are available in the path. For the initial MVP we assume you have a local to project copy of these libraries similar to how the examples folder works, we'll sort this out properly after 4.2 and mobile app is released.
We are in a transitional phase for mbed, at the moment it works fine via platformio, but soon we'll support it directly with CMake as well.
The original readme is available here Adafruit_GFX Fork README.md along with the license.txt. Note that this directory is licensed differently to the rest of the package under the MIT license.
