Documentation

Overview

Package inky drives an Inky pHAT E ink display.

Datasheet

Inky lacks a true datasheet, so the code here is derived from the reference implementation by Pimoroni: https://github.com/pimoroni/inky

Example

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"image"
	"image/png"
	"log"
	"os"

	"periph.io/x/periph/conn/gpio/gpioreg"
	"periph.io/x/periph/conn/spi/spireg"
	"periph.io/x/periph/experimental/devices/inky"
	"periph.io/x/periph/host"
)

func main() {
	path := flag.String("image", "", "Path to image file (212x104) to display")
	flag.Parse()

	f, err := os.Open(*path)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer f.Close()

	img, err := png.Decode(f)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	if _, err := host.Init(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	b, err := spireg.Open("SPI0.0")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	dc := gpioreg.ByName("22")
	reset := gpioreg.ByName("27")
	busy := gpioreg.ByName("17")

	dev, err := inky.New(b, dc, reset, busy, &inky.Opts{
		Model:       inky.PHAT,
		ModelColor:  inky.Red,
		BorderColor: inky.Black,
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	if err := dev.Draw(img.Bounds(), img, image.ZP); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

Types

type Color

type Color int

Color is used to define which model of inky is being used, and also for setting the border color.

const (
	Black Color = iota
	Red
	Yellow
	White
)

Valid Color.

type Dev

type Dev struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Dev is a handle to an Inky.

func New

func New(p spi.Port, dc gpio.PinOut, reset gpio.PinOut, busy gpio.PinIn, o *Opts) (*Dev, error)

New opens a handle to an Inky pHAT.

func (*Dev) Bounds

func (d *Dev) Bounds() image.Rectangle

Bounds implements display.Drawer

func (*Dev) ColorModel

func (d *Dev) ColorModel() color.Model

ColorModel implements display.Drawer Maps white to white, black to black and anything else as red. Red is used as a placeholder for the display's third color, i.e., red or yellow.

func (*Dev) Draw

func (d *Dev) Draw(dstRect image.Rectangle, src image.Image, srcPtrs image.Point) error

Draw implements display.Drawer

func (*Dev) Halt

func (d *Dev) Halt() error

Halt implements conn.Resource

func (*Dev) SetBorder

func (d *Dev) SetBorder(c Color)

SetBorder changes the border color. This will not take effect until the next Draw().

func (*Dev) String

func (d *Dev) String() string

String implements conn.Resource.

type Model

type Model int

Model lists the supported e-ink display models.

const (
	PHAT Model = iota
)

Supported Model.

type Opts

type Opts struct {
	// Model being used.
	Model Model
	// Model color.
	ModelColor Color
	// Initial border color. Will be set on the first Draw().
	BorderColor Color
}

Opts is the options to specify which device is being controlled and its default settings.
