Posted by geraldfryjr on 2015-12-20 14:07 Very Cool!! This is something that I would like to learn as well! Would you be willing share your code to help me get started on how to go about this? jer 😊
Posted by geraldfryjr on 2015-12-21 06:34 Hmmmmm.... Thank You for sharing your code !! 😀 Honestly I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff!! I need to get Eclipse set back up with STM workbench again, I had to dump my install a while back due to a mistake I did that locked myself out of Linux, But that is no Biggy I just haven't taken the time to do so yet. I have never worked with STcube yet. This were I am at, I was able to get the First four basic example GPIO demos to compile and Blinky to work in STW from this page, http://stm32f4-discovery.com/2014/04/first-time-with-stm32f429-discovery/ All of the other ones using the LCD didn't complie as these are all done in Coo Cox and they do work in that IDE but now I am doing everthing in Linux. So porting everything over is a challange for me. I did find one example that did work to intialize the LCD and display a picture that used EMwin but I don't remeber what the URL was to post it here. That one file will help me to learn how to make the LCD work as it was the only one I have that is functional with STW. Your code will certainly help me as well with this if I can't make it work. I am not profficient at all in C but I do know a few of the basics as really wanting to work with this board is forcing me to learn. What I do know is that I think that the section that assigns a value when a button is intialized needs to be in a call routine from the Main.c, This is how much I know as I had just grasped this concept of how it is done by reading many already coded examples ( such as the scope project to be mentioned below). When I started with this board I knew nothing about C at the time and I took an online course on how to use the board, But we were using IAR's ide and 30 days was just not enough time to learn anything. A $2500 IDE to program a $25 board is a bit steep for me at this tiem. SInce then I waited and struggled for over a year until I got Coo Cox functional and was able to complie and run some very cool examples that I found on the web. Now I have this platform running as it just came out this year, and it works in linux were I plan to stay as long as I can. I know occasionaly I will have to go back to CoIDE once in a while until I get a full understanding of things. Two of My Favroties examples is an FFT example and a full Blown Oscilloscope project that uses on screen buttons. I have the source code to these and they DO work in CoIDE but now I would like to make them work in STW and once I get that far then the rest will be easy. Having some source code that is known to work on this platform helps I great deal and again I thank you for the sharing of your code to help me. I also have the souce code for MMbasic that was ported to the STM32F4(07, 29) boards but I have not been able to get it setup and working yet, That project is under constant development for the PIC32's, but the STM32 project has come to a halt for the time being. They can be found at The Backshed forums here, http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=16 Sorry to go a bit Off Topic here, But maybe there is something there can help us with this board as well, and I figured that you might be interested in checking it out too. I love this little board and I can't wait until I know enough to help others with it as well as maybe get the latest greatest version of it as well!! Cheers !! jer 😊
Posted by geraldfryjr on 2015-12-21 06:44 Attached is the Demo file that I did get to work and If I remeber correctly, it had some button functions in it too. But, They didn't do anything except blink when you touched them I believe that it was only meant for as a demo or is an unfinished project or part of a project were I may have faile to include some of the other files and left them out of it. Maybe there is something in that code to help you. jer 😊

If you like I can get the file to you via Email or my Copy Account, just send me a PM if you would like it, Meanwhil I will try to find the link as to where I had found it. Your in luck!! I found it as it was on Github !! 😀 https://github.com/jserv/stm32f429-lcd-demo
Posted by geraldfryjr on 2015-12-21 07:13 That is the correct file. I was able to verify it by the date and the files on this page to the ones I have. Sorry about the confusion!! More LCD demos can be found here, https://www.google.com/search?num=100&newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=stm32f429-lcd-demo-master&oq=stm32f429-lcd-demo-master&gs_l=hp.3...3086.14584.0.15438.116.17.0.0.0.0.398.1443.6j2j1j1.10.0....0...1.1j2.64.hp..116.0.0.dqcYAiQ9oPU jer 😊
