Detailed Description

N5110 Class.

Library for interfacing with Nokia 5110 LCD display (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10168) using the hardware SPI on the mbed. The display is powered from a GPIO pin meaning it can be controlled via software. The LED backlight is also software-controllable (via PWM pin). Can print characters and strings to the display using the included 5x7 font. The library also implements a screen buffer so that individual pixels on the display (84 x 48) can be set, cleared and read. The library can print primitive shapes (lines, circles, rectangles) Acknowledgements to Chris Yan's Nokia_5110 Library.

void randomiseBuffer (  )

Randomise buffer.

This function fills the buffer with random data. Can be used to test the display. A call to refresh() must be made to update the display to reflect the change in pixels. The seed is not set and so the generated pattern will probably be the same each time. TODO: Randomise the seed - maybe using the noise on the AnalogIn pins.

Definition at line 251 of file N5110.cpp.

void refresh (  )

Refresh display.

This functions sends the screen buffer to the display.

Definition at line 232 of file N5110.cpp.

Set Brightness.

Sets brightness of LED backlight.

Parameters:
brightness- float in range 0.0 to 1.0

void setPixel ( unsigned int const   x,
unsigned int const   y,
bool const   state = true 
)

Set a Pixel.

Parameters:
xThe x co-ordinate of the pixel (0 to 83)
yThe y co-ordinate of the pixel (0 to 47)
stateThe state of the pixel [true=black (default), false=white]

This function sets the state of a pixel in the screen buffer. The third parameter can be omitted,

Definition at line 193 of file N5110.cpp.

void turnOff (  )

Turn off.

Powers down the display and turns of the backlight. Needs to be reinitialised before being re-used.
