# ST7565 LCD Driver

## Supported Hardware

LCD modules using ST7565 driver IC, communicating over SPI.

|Module                        |IC     |Size  |Notes                                                     |
|------------------------------|-------|------|----------------------------------------------------------|
|Newhaven Display NHD-C12832A1Z|ST7565R|128x32|Used by Ergodox Infinity; primary consumer of this feature|
|Zolentech ZLE12864B           |ST7565P|128x64|Requires contrast adjustment                              |

## Usage

To enable the feature, there are three steps. First, when compiling your keyboard, you'll need to add the following to your `rules.mk`:

```make
ST7565_ENABLE = yes
```

Then in your `keymap.c` file, implement the ST7565 task call. This example assumes your keymap has three layers named `_QWERTY`, `_FN` and `_ADJ`:

```c
#ifdef ST7565_ENABLE
void st7565_task_user(void) {
    // Host Keyboard Layer Status
    st7565_write_P(PSTR("Layer: "), false);

    switch (get_highest_layer(layer_state)) {
        case _QWERTY:
            st7565_write_P(PSTR("Default\n"), false);
            break;
        case _FN:
            st7565_write_P(PSTR("FN\n"), false);
            break;
        case _ADJ:
            st7565_write_P(PSTR("ADJ\n"), false);
            break;
        default:
            // Or use the write_ln shortcut over adding '\n' to the end of your string
            st7565_write_ln_P(PSTR("Undefined"), false);
    }

    // Host Keyboard LED Status
    led_t led_state = host_keyboard_led_state();
    st7565_write_P(led_state.num_lock ? PSTR("NUM ") : PSTR("    "), false);
    st7565_write_P(led_state.caps_lock ? PSTR("CAP ") : PSTR("    "), false);
    st7565_write_P(led_state.scroll_lock ? PSTR("SCR ") : PSTR("    "), false);
}
#endif
```

## Logo Example

In the default font, certain ranges of characters are reserved for a QMK logo. To render this logo to the screen, use the following code example:

```c
static void render_logo(void) {
    static const char PROGMEM qmk_logo[] = {
        0x80, 0x81, 0x82, 0x83, 0x84, 0x85, 0x86, 0x87, 0x88, 0x89, 0x8A, 0x8B, 0x8C, 0x8D, 0x8E, 0x8F, 0x90, 0x91, 0x92, 0x93, 0x94,
        0xA0, 0xA1, 0xA2, 0xA3, 0xA4, 0xA5, 0xA6, 0xA7, 0xA8, 0xA9, 0xAA, 0xAB, 0xAC, 0xAD, 0xAE, 0xAF, 0xB0, 0xB1, 0xB2, 0xB3, 0xB4,
        0xC0, 0xC1, 0xC2, 0xC3, 0xC4, 0xC5, 0xC6, 0xC7, 0xC8, 0xC9, 0xCA, 0xCB, 0xCC, 0xCD, 0xCE, 0xCF, 0xD0, 0xD1, 0xD2, 0xD3, 0xD4, 0x00
    };

    st7565_write_P(qmk_logo, false);
}
```

## Buffer Read Example
For some purposes, you may need to read the current state of the display buffer. The `st7565_read_raw` function can be used to safely read bytes from the buffer.

In this example, calling `fade_display` in the `st7565_task_user` function will slowly fade away whatever is on the screen by turning random pixels off over time.
```c
//Setup some mask which can be or'd with bytes to turn off pixels
const uint8_t single_bit_masks[8] = {127, 191, 223, 239, 247, 251, 253, 254};

static void fade_display(void) {
    //Define the reader structure
    display_buffer_reader_t reader;
    uint8_t buff_char;
    if (random() % 30 == 0) {
        srand(timer_read());
        // Fetch a pointer for the buffer byte at index 0. The return structure
        // will have the pointer and the number of bytes remaining from this
        // index position if we want to perform a sequential read by
        // incrementing the buffer pointer
        reader = st7565_read_raw(0);
        //Loop over the remaining buffer and erase pixels as we go
        for (uint16_t i = 0; i < reader.remaining_element_count; i++) {
            //Get the actual byte in the buffer by dereferencing the pointer
            buff_char = *reader.current_element;
            if (buff_char != 0) {
                st7565_write_raw_byte(buff_char & single_bit_masks[rand() % 8], i);
            }
            //increment the pointer to fetch a new byte during the next loop
            reader.current_element++;
        }
    }
}
```

## Other Examples

In split keyboards, it is very common to have two displays that each render different content and are oriented or flipped differently. You can do this by switching which content to render by using the return value from `is_keyboard_master()` or `is_keyboard_left()` found in `split_util.h`, e.g:

```c
#ifdef ST7565_ENABLE
display_rotation_t st7565_init_user(display_rotation_t rotation) {
    if (!is_keyboard_master()) {
        return DISPLAY_ROTATION_180;  // flips the display 180 degrees if offhand
    }

    return rotation;
}

void st7565_task_user(void) {
    if (is_keyboard_master()) {
        render_status();  // Renders the current keyboard state (layer, lock, caps, scroll, etc)
    } else {
        render_logo();  // Renders a static logo
    }
}
#endif
```
