uGFX port for ESP32 and ESP-IDF

[Mick P. F.]

Hello,

I'm newbie with uGFX!

Has anyone already ported uGFX for ESP32 with ESP-IDF? Possibly even for ESP32 with FT81x display module?

I found two articles on this forum related to ESP32 but they are not helpful.

Hello & Welcome to the µGFX community!

In general, the µGFX library is known to work well on ESP32 platforms. There are plenty of customers and hobby-ists which reported quite satisfying results.
Both porting and writing new display drivers is pretty easy and well documented. We're happy to help wherever we can.

Do you have any specific questions we might be able to answer?

Hello Joel,

Several months ago I started the 1st porting attempt and found that the effort is not so low. Numerous details are unclear, the Wiki does not answer many open questions.
What seems easy for you as an expert for UGFX is nebulous even for an experienced software developer (as me).
I will need a little more time to carry out the porting properly ...

Kind Regards,

Michael
