Posted by:

Preamble

There are two ways to draw bitmap images in Arduino TFT LCD – to draw from SD card, or convert them into byte array. The first is more powerful and works with true color bitmap images; the 2nd approach is more suitable for simple logo and monochrome images, and there is no need for SD capability for this method.

How to Make a GUI for Arduino TFT LCD

Posted by:

Preamble

There is no package available which offeres a visual graphic display as well as the coordinate info so that you can reproduce it with TFT graphic library. 4D Systems is the closest you can get, yet it is lousy, proprietary and only available for Windows. After researching long and hard for a GUI Designer for Arduino TFT LCD, finally I think I come up with a reasonable implementation – SVG vector ...

Arduino Installation on Raspberry PI 2B Running Arch Linux

Posted by:

Official Arduino IDE does not agree with PI and it sucks any way.

[update] Platformio is a better way!

There are two major ways to compile and upload sketch files to Arduino: a. use IDEs (Arduino IDE, Emacs IDE, Fritzing or ArduIDE). or b. use a terminal. Arch official site explains well, however, most of it does not apply to RasPi with Arch Linux. It DOES work with regular ...

Issues with Fcitx-Sougou for Chinese input in Emacs

Fcitx to input Chinese in Emacs

This should only be used in some case, including emacs and java. Emacs has ahistorical bug, that under en_US.UTF-8 or similar locale, it will never use XIM (Though emacs is a gtk app, it use XIM). The only way to walkaround this is to use LC_CTYPE to fix this.
