  • Hi,
    I ordered a Espruino but while I wait I thought I'd try and get it working on a Hy Mini 2.4" LCD board I got from ebay. I have some WS2812 LEDs arranged in a panel so I am trying Project 2.

    I couldn't get the serial loader to work - it went into the STM boot ROM but I couldn't get it to unprotect so I used my Black Magic Probe like so..

    arm-none-eabi-objcopy --output-target=elf32-bigarm --input-target=binary --change-addresses=0x08000000 espruino_1v69_hystm32_24_ve.bin espruino_1v69_hystm32_24_ve.elf
    
    arm-non-eabi-gdb espruino_1v69_hystm32_24_ve.elf
    target extended-remote /dev/cu.usbmodem7FC58901
    load
    run
    

    I had to apply the following diff to get the demo code working..

    +    var d = SPI1.send([0x90,0,0xD0,0, 0],B7);
         var pos = {x:(d[1]*256+d[2])*LCD.getWidth()/0x8000­,
                    y:(d[3]*256+d[4])*LCD.getHeight()/0x8000­};

    +    touchCallback(pos.x, LCD.getHeight() - pos.y);
    +    console.log(pos.x, pos.y, d, LCD.getWidth(), LCD.getHeight());
         lastPos = pos;
       } else lastPos = null;
     }
    

    To break it down..
    1- Send 5 bytes so we read 5 bytes
    2- Use B7 for chip select
    3- Invert y position

    I suspect 2 & 3 are only useful for this board, but number 1 seems like a bug in the original code - without it you only get 4 bytes so the Y coordinates are always NaN.

    I haven't connected my LEDs yet, but soon :)

    PS thanks for the Espruino, I am having good fun with it so far :)

    Update: LEDs work, however I needed to change the baud rate in the example to 3200000 (like in the WS2811 example)
