Clear screen in U8glib

Projects Programming

Hi to all,

I'm using a MEGA with a T6963C driver based GLCD. After a lot of tests following differents ideas in the forum, I'm stuck.

My code is very simple, a 240x128 LOGO (it displays OK, a clear screen (NOT WORK!!) and 8 24x24 buttons in the lower (they display OK but over the LOGO)

Please, any suggestion?

Thanks and regards

Hi Breixo,

Hi,

I clear the OLED screen with u8glib using this function:

void clearOLED(){
u8g.firstPage();
do {
} while( u8g.nextPage() );
}

Maybe there is a simplier way to do it but I didn't discovered yet.

Best Regards,

Paulo

I'm not familiar with u8glib, but...

void clear_screen(void) {
  uint8_t i, j;
  for( i = 0; i < ROW_MAX; i++ )
    for( j = 0; j < LINE_MAX; j++ )
      screen[i][j] = 0;  
}

I don't see any code that copys your "screen" array to the actual display, nor anything that ties the screen variable intimately to the display that would make an explicit call unneeded. You probably need a:

u8g.drawBitmap( 0, 0, 128, 240, screen);

in there.
Depending on memory requirements, and whether you use screen for other things, you may be better off putting the "blank" bitmap in flash instead of setting it up in RAM and using a loop to initialize it.

SOLVED. Was my mistake. Sorry
