I have made a How-To on how you can make your own font.

You can find it on my web-site: http://www.henningkarlsen.com/electronics/a_h_itdb02_fonts_101.php

Sorry it took so long, but it is rather hard to type with an injured arm

I will try write some instructions on how to make a new font, but it might take a while. I am quite busy at the moment.

If you need a font-width between 8 and 16 pixels you will have to not only rewrite the print functions, but deal with byte alignment (or waste a lot of memory). Font widths that are not a multiple of 8 adds a lot of complexity to the functions. That is the main reason I used 16x16 for the large font.

I can't see why it would be an improvment to make a serial interface to these displays. It would only slow down transfer even further. The speed is not limited by the display, but by the ATmegas ability to push data to the display.

That being said, I have been toying with an idea to make a hardware accelerator for the displays  :o
It is still in the idea-stage, so don't get you hopes up...

I am glad you like my library.

The small font was taken directly from the library made by ITead, so I do not know how it was made.

When making the large font I did actually calculate all the values manually

Due to the limited memory on the Arduino, I would not recommend adding another font, but feel free to replace the exitsting ones.
If you require other sizes than 8x12 or 16x16 you will have to make alteration to the print-functions as well.

If you need help with the format of the files/arrays, please let me know.

I just re-read the product pages at ITead, and the way I understand it is that all the modules support a SST25VF016B Flash-chip, but you supply it and solder it on yourself.

I have ordered some samples from Microchip, so maybe there will be support for them in the future  

The text on my website is based on the product description at ITead, but I feel that their description is a bit unclear regarding the flash memory.

I am working on support for the SD as well, but it is a long way away from being finished. My libraries does not stop you from using SD or flash in any way, so you still can use other libraries.

I am not sure if my modules even has flash on them  :-?

blueblur22: You could also take a look at my libraries for these modules: http://www.henningkarlsen.com/electronics/a_l_itdb02_graph16.php

/Henning

ITDB02_Graph16 v2.3 is released.

• Added support for the Arduino Mega 2560
• Added functions to rotate text and bitmaps

/Henning

ITDB02_Graph16 v2.2 is released.

• Added support for ITDB02-3.2WC
• Added drawBitmap() with its associated tool

/Henning

V2.1 of the library is released.

It is now compatible with the Arduino Mega.
A couple of other bugs has also been fixed.

/Henning

Demo video has been added to the webpage...

/Henning

I'll see what I can do about a video, but it will probably not happen before the weekend.

Hi

After making the ITDB02_Graph-library for the 8bit ITDB02-displays, I bought the 3.2" version which require 16bit communication. To be able to use it I had to change my 8bit library to accommodate the 16bit interface.

The 16bit version of the library is now released so anyone with the 3.2" (or 2.4" in 16bit-mode) display can use theirs with ease and speed
