/****************************************************************** An example of how use an external ROM chip with RA8875, this time the ER3303_1 (same as GT23L24T3Y or GT30H24T3Y), an unified chinese font rom. In short: 1) use setExternalFontRom to set ROM and it's correct encoding 2) use setFont(EXTFONT) to use the external font 3) to switch back to internal font ROM, use setFont(INTFONT) Library can handle the following Font ROM: GT21L16T1W, GT21H16T1W, GT23L16U2W, GT30H24T3Y, GT23L24T3Y, GT23L24M1Z, GT23L32S4W, GT30H32S4W, ER3303_1 Each font ROM has it's encoding so follow font rom datasheet! Not working? You don't have the correct font rom installed! Choose yours! ******************************************************************/ #include #include #define RA8875_CS 10 #define RA8875_RESET 9//any pin or nothing!
