The NodeMCU firmware supports a subset of these:

- HX8352C
- ILI9163
- ILI9341
- ILI9486
- PCF8833
- SEPS225
- SSD1331
- SSD1351
- ST7735

This integration is based on version [1.5.2](https://github.com/olikraus/Ucglib_Arduino/releases/tag/1.5.2).

## Overview

### SPI Connection

The HSPI module is used ([more information](https://web.archive.org/web/20180425221055/http://d.av.id.au:80/blog/esp8266-hardware-spi-hspi-general-info-and-pinout/)), so certain pins are fixed:

* HSPI CLK  = GPIO14
* HSPI MOSI = GPIO13
* HSPI MISO = GPIO12 (not used)

All other pins can be assigned to any available GPIO:

* CS
* D/C
* RES (optional for some displays)

Also refer to the initialization sequence eg in [GraphicsTest.lua](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/blob/master/lua_examples/ucglib/GraphicsTest.lua):
```lua
spi.setup(1, spi.MASTER, spi.CPOL_LOW, spi.CPHA_LOW, 8, 8)
```

### Library Usage
The Lua bindings for this library closely follow ucglib's object oriented C++ API. Based on the ucg class, you create an object for your display type.

ILI9341 via SPI:
```lua
cs  = 8 -- GPIO15, pull-down 10k to GND
dc  = 4 -- GPIO2
res = 0 -- GPIO16, RES is optional YMMV
disp = ucg.ili9341_18x240x320_hw_spi(cs, dc, res)
```

This object provides all of ucglib's methods to control the display.
Again, refer to [GraphicsTest.lua](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/blob/master/lua_examples/ucglib/GraphicsTest.lua) to get an impression how this is achieved with Lua code. Visit the [ucglib homepage](https://github.com/olikraus/ucglib) for technical details.

### Display selection
HW SPI based displays with support in u8g2 can be enabled.

The procedure is different for ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms.

#### ESP8266

Add the desired entries to the display table in [app/include/ucg_config.h](../../app/include/ucg_config.h):
```c
#define UCG_DISPLAY_TABLE                          \
    UCG_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(ili9341_18x240x320_hw_spi, ucg_dev_ili9341_18x240x320, ucg_ext_ili9341_18) \
    UCG_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(st7735_18x128x160_hw_spi, ucg_dev_st7735_18x128x160, ucg_ext_st7735_18) \
```

#### ESP32
Enable the desired entries for SPI displays in ucg's sub-menu (run `make menuconfig`).

### Fonts
ucglib comes with a wide range of fonts for small displays. Since they need to be compiled into the firmware image.

The procedure is different for ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms.

#### ESP8266

Add the desired fonts to the font table in  [app/include/ucg_config.h](../../app/include/ucg_config.h):
```c
#define UCG_FONT_TABLE                              \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_7x13B_tr)             \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_helvB12_hr)           \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_helvB18_hr)           \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_ncenR12_tr)           \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_ncenR14_hr)
```
They will be available as `ucg.<font_name>` in Lua.

#### ESP32
Add the desired fonts to the font selection sub-entry via `make menuconfig`.

#### Syntax
`ucg.st7735_18x128x160_hw_spi(bus, cs, dc[, res])`

#### Parameters
- `bus` SPI master bus
- `cs` GPIO pin for /CS
- `dc` GPIO pin for DC
- `res` GPIO pin for /RES, none if omitted

#### Returns
ucg display object

#### Example for ESP8266
```lua
-- Hardware SPI CLK  = GPIO14
-- Hardware SPI MOSI = GPIO13
-- Hardware SPI MISO = GPIO12 (not used)
-- Hardware SPI /CS  = GPIO15 (not used)
cs  = 8 -- GPIO15, pull-down 10k to GND
dc  = 4 -- GPIO2
res = 0 -- GPIO16, RES is optional YMMV
bus = 1
spi.setup(bus, spi.MASTER, spi.CPOL_LOW, spi.CPHA_LOW, spi.DATABITS_8, 0)
-- we won't be using the HSPI /CS line, so disable it again
gpio.mode(8, gpio.INPUT, gpio.PULLUP)

disp = ucg.st7735_18x128x160_hw_spi(bus, cs, dc, res)
```

#### Example for ESP32
```lua
sclk = 19
mosi = 23
cs   = 22
dc   = 16
res  = 17
bus = spi.master(spi.HSPI, {sclk=sclk, mosi=mosi})
disp = ucg.st7735_18x128x160_hw_spi(bus, cs, dc, res)
```
