Code Example

MicroGraphics graphics;

public override Task Initialize()
{
Resolver.Log.Info("Initialize ...");

var display = new Ssd1681(
spiBus: Device.CreateSpiBus(),
chipSelectPin: Device.Pins.A04,
dcPin: Device.Pins.A03,
resetPin: Device.Pins.A02,
busyPin: Device.Pins.A01,
width: 200,
height: 200);

graphics = new MicroGraphics(display);

return base.Initialize();
}

public override Task Run()
{
Resolver.Log.Info("Run ...");

graphics.Clear();

graphics.DrawRectangle(10, 40, 120, 60, Color.Black, true);
graphics.DrawRectangle(20, 80, 120, 90, Color.Red, true);

graphics.CurrentFont = new Font12x16();
graphics.DrawText(2, 20, "Meadow F7", Color.Black);
graphics.DrawText(30, 50, "Color", Color.Red);
graphics.DrawText(50, 90, "Black", Color.Black);
graphics.DrawText(50, 120, "White", Color.White);
