Our extensions to Adafruit_GFX for better performance
We provide a few extensions to Adafruit_GFX that improve performance by buffering the display and therefore preventing flickering and repeated operations on the same display area. Canvas support In addition to the standard Adafruit_GFX library that provides a monochrome canvas, we provide a 2bpp (bit per pixel) and 4bpp canvas class that allows you to draw to a buffer in memory...
GxEPD2 eInk display plugin for tcMenu
In this guide we discuss the GxEPD2 eInk display plugin for tcMenu, showing how to use and configure it for menu use. From an API/interface perspective, GxEPD2 is roughly equivalent to Adafruit_GFX, but with some additional features and optimizations for eInk displays. You'll need to install the GxEPD2 library from the Arduino library manager before you can use it with tcMenu....
Connect to a remote server plug-in for tcMenu library
In this guide we show how to setup and use the remote server communication plugin for tcMenu. This plugin allows you to reverse the normal connection direction, and have the API side be a server accepting connections from devices. You simply configure the address and port that the connector should connect with, and ensure there is an API listening at the...
Using SSD1306 to generate a Uno / low memory multi level OLED menu
It is possible to build multi level menus with an OLED display on an Arduino Uno or other low memory board provided you use SSD1306Ascii instead of the U8G2 library, as it uses a lot less memory at the cost of some flexibility. We've tested it with regular I2C SH1106 OLED display units and it works absolutely fine. To use this...
Menu In Menu support for embedded Java on Linux / Raspberry PI
You can combine many menu structures from different devices into a single menu, this works by each remote menu being represented by a object being associated with a and a . It maps the remote menu into an unused ID range on the local device and even handles dialog commands. Available from version 2.3 of tcMenu Designer and API....
