Driving 4 NOKIA 3310 LCD ( PCD8544) c example



  • Hi,

    Final project will show a couple of temperature/humidity on each screen.
    ( I have 4 little ESP8266 with DHT12 and an Openhab server ).
    First attempt with python and SPI ( hard and bitbanging ) is not working, I do not know why....
    Second attempt with python and direct gpio access were working but very very very slow !
    Final attempt coding in C and direct memory access for gpio works but it takes me times to search and find all these informations. ( example is working for gpio number < 32, other gpio have another base address ).

    So I think this example can perhaps be helpful for someone and can save some times !
