You need to assign your own Widget ID

Are pictures other than bitmaps supported?

Yes: raw 16-bit / pixel bitmaps.

3. Is it possible to display serial video, say mJpeg or H.264 at a relatively low frame rate?

If you can convert mpeg frames or H.264 frame to raw 16-bit bit streams, you can, even though the frame rate will be limited by the bandwidth provided by SPI as well as the size of the (8KB) buffer currently used. Nothing prevents you from tuning the firmware for your application (Ah! The beauty of OSS !)

Hi Steve,

There isn't one in this revision of the module and here's why: the ILI9341 IC driver of the display I'm using does have a PWM backlight control circuit that is configurable through software commands (Write Display Brightness (51h) page 141 of the datasheet). The manufacturer of the display omitted to connect it to the backlight I discovered this when the module board was already in production as I was focusing on the finishing touches of the driver. At that point, it was too late to change the design. The display manufacturer recognized the omission and did say that they would correct the mistake in a future revision of the display.

-Fabien.

Hi Len,

You're re-inventing what the Widget event handler is already doing The Widget event handler gives you a reference to the Widget that was clicked when the even fires. If that's not enough for your scenario, you can tag a Widget through the ID property and you can also add / remove handlers to which Widgets click events will be broadcast if you don't want to use the generic one.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
-Fabien.

Yup I indicated that in the source code. This is a fact of life with touchscreens but only needs to be done (correctly) once. Cheers. -Fabien. PS: please note that calibration is only needed when using the touchscreen. It's not required if you only want to write to the display.

This will get you unblocked for now Both methods should work though and I'll investigate what the issue is as soon as I get the chance. Cheers, -Fabien.

Thanks for the update Chris. You made my day Also, since we're on the subject of new modules: [nwazet has a new undisclosed module for release in early August ;-) So, definitely a busy summer... Cheers, -Fabien.
