understanding examples/spi_master user callback

Postby MiloThatch » Mon Apr 03, 2023 11:33 am

Hi,

so I played around a little bit with the code. But there is one thing I just don't understand.
Here is the send_lines code I use now:

Code: Select all

static void send_lines(spi_device_handle_t spi, int ypos, uint16_t *linedata)
{
    esp_err_t ret;
    static spi_transaction_t trans;

    // In theory, it's better to initialize trans and data only once and hang on to the initialized
    // variables. We allocate them on the stack, so we need to re-init them each call.
    memset(&trans, 0, sizeof(spi_transaction_t));
    trans.user = (void *)1;
    trans.flags = SPI_TRANS_USE_TXDATA;
    trans.tx_buffer = linedata;                  // finally send the line data
    trans.length = 320 * 2 * 8 * PARALLEL_LINES; // Data length, in bits
    trans.flags = 0;                             // undo SPI_TRANS_USE_TXDATA flag

    // Queue all transactions.
    ret = spi_device_queue_trans(spi, &trans /*[0]*/, portMAX_DELAY);
    assert(ret == ESP_OK);
}
so as you can see, I removed the Commands and some of the data and just kept the pixel data. So I had to change the display_pretty_colors function as well and provide the commands. This is the code snippet:

Code: Select all

  lcd_cmd(spi, 0x2A, 0);
            uint8_t data[4] = {0, 0, (320) >> 8, (320) & 0xff};
            gpio_set_level(PIN_NUM_DC, 1);
            lcd_data(spi, data, 4);
            //
            lcd_cmd(spi, 0x2B, 0);
            uint8_t datab[4] = {y >> 8, y & 0xff, (y + PARALLEL_LINES) >> 8, (y + PARALLEL_LINES) & 0xff};
            gpio_set_level(PIN_NUM_DC, 1);
            lcd_data(spi, datab, 4);
            //
            lcd_cmd(spi, 0x2C, 0);
            send_lines(spi, y, lines[sending_line])
Now this changes still work, I can see the ESP32 Image on my Screen. So everything is fine. What bugs me is this:
For whatever reason, I cannot remove the user callback. In fact it seems like I can't even change it.
This is the code that is in the examples:

Code: Select all

void lcd_spi_pre_transfer_callback(spi_transaction_t *t)
{
    int dc = (int)t->user;
    gpio_set_level(PIN_NUM_DC, dc);
}
because I use the send_lines function with data only, I thought weill, just change it to this:

Code: Select all

void lcd_spi_pre_transfer_callback(spi_transaction_t *t)
{
    gpio_set_level(PIN_NUM_DC, 1);
}
didn't work.

I tried to remove the callback completely and set the PIN_NUM_DC level accordingly in the display_pretty_colors function like this:

Code: Select all

	//....
            lcd_cmd(spi, 0x2C, 0);
            gpio_set_level(PIN_NUM_DC, 1);
            send_lines(spi, y, lines[sending_line])
so what is the thing with the callback?
Of course I also tried setting the PIN_NUM_DC to 0 just in case, but I checked twice for data, this pin must be set to 1.

I hope somebody could clear things up for me, this would be great. Thank you

Just for completeness, here is the complete main file, I didn't touch the others.

 This code displays some fancy graphics on the 320x240 LCD on an ESP-WROVER_KIT board.
 This example demonstrates the use of both spi_device_transmit as well as
 spi_device_queue_trans/spi_device_get_trans_result and pre-transmit callbacks.

 Some info about the ILI9341/ST7789V: It has an C/D line, which is connected to a GPIO here. It expects this
 line to be low for a command and high for data. We use a pre-transmit callback here to control that
 line: every transaction has as the user-definable argument the needed state of the D/C line and just
 before the transaction is sent, the callback will set this line to the correct state.

How are things like lcd_cmd(spi, lcd_init_cmds[cmd].cmd, false); or lcd_cmd(spi, 0x2A, 0) supposed to work when you completely cut off the ability to send commands to the display?
