Error in EsploraTFT-library ?

Hello,
I have started using Arduino Esplora together with the 1.77" TFT Shield one year ago.
I did funny things with the display and all was OK. But after buying new TFT shields
(same type) some problems are occur.

There seems to be a big error in the TFT library.

I use IDE 1.5.8beta, because the EsploraTFT-Library should be improved and being the newest.
But if you can see, there is a problem inside.
The sketch is easy and just makes 4 lines in order to draw a rectangle in different colours.

Error1: The second EsploraTFT.line()-command stops one pixel before the end.
Error2: In the 18th rectangle it forgets to draw the left vertical line ! Strange !!

Here the code:
void loop() {

  • unsigned char lines, step;*

  • unsigned char i;*

  • lines = 63; // it forgets to draw the 18. line*

  • step = 4;*

  • // Error in Library IDE 1.5.8 and IDE 1.0.6 !*

  • // black line, from 159/127 starting to the center*

  • for (i = 0; i< lines; i=i+2 ) {*
    _ EsploraTFT.stroke(256-istep, istep, 0);_

  • // without .rect()*

  • EsploraTFT.line(i, i, 159-i, i); // upper horizontal line*

  • EsploraTFT.line(159-i, i, 159-i, 127-i+1 ); // right downwards*

  • EsploraTFT.line(159-i, 127-i, i, 127-i); // down horizontal line to the left*

  • EsploraTFT.line(i, 127-i, i, i); // left line (18. line does not appear ?!)*

  • }*

  • delay(3000);*

Is there any similar experience out there ? Eventually some help for me ?
Am I did a stupid mistake ?

Best regards
Freising

Mind blown I had problem with black stripes but that is probily something that you could use:

EsploraTFT.Background(X,Y,Z)

to fix!
