Library for the FT800 Display,Audio and Touch Controller from FTDI. The Code is based on the sample code from FTDI.
FT800 is a graphics chip with added features such as audio playback and touch capabilities. FT800 graphics consist of a rich set of graphics objects (primitive and widgets) that can be used for displaying various menus and screen shots.

The mbed is talking thru the SPI interface with the graphic engine. We have to set up a list of Commands and send them to the FT800 to get graphics.
Hardware¶
1. VM800C development modules from FTDI : http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Modules/VM800C.html
The modules come with different size lcd. 3.5", 4.3" or 5" or without.
