SSD1306/SH1106 driver for esp-idf

I used this repository as a reference.
I used this font file.

Software requirements

ESP-IDF V4.4/V5.x.

Note for ESP32C2.
ESP-IDF V5.0 ESP32C2 i2c driver has a bug.
ESP-IDF V5.1 is required when using i2c of ESP32C2.

Note for ESP32C6 and ESP32H2.
ESP-IDF V5.1 is required when using ESP32C6 and ESP32H2.

Note for ESP-IDF V5.2.
A new i2c driver is now available in ESP-IDF V5.2.
Under ESP-IDF V5.2 this project uses a new i2c driver.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/nopnop2002/esp-idf-ssd1306
cd esp-idf-ssd1306/TextDemo/
idf.py set-target {esp32/esp32s2/esp32s3/esp32c2/esp32c3/esp32c6/esp32h2}
idf.py menuconfig
idf.py flash

Note for ESP32C3
For some reason, there are development boards that cannot use GPIO06, GPIO08, GPIO09, GPIO19 for SPI clock pins.
According to the ESP32C3 specifications, these pins can also be used as SPI clocks.
I used a raw ESP-C3-13 to verify that these pins could be used as SPI clocks.

Configuration

You have to set this config value with menuconfig.

CONFIG_INTERFACE
CONFIG_PANEL
CONFIG_OFFSETX
CONFIG_FLIP
CONFIG_SDA_GPIO
CONFIG_SCL_GPIO
CONFIG_RESET_GPIO
CONFIG_MOSI_GPIO
CONFIG_SCLK_GPIO
CONFIG_CS_GPIO
CONFIG_DC_GPIO

128x64 TTGO

Unlike other ESP32 development boards, the RTC_CLOCK crystal on this board uses a 26MHz one.
You need to change the RTC CLOCK frequency to 26MHz using menuconfig.

I2C Clock speed

According to the SSD1306 datasheet, the minimum i2c clock cycle time is 2.5us.
Therefore, the maximum i2c clock frequency is 400KHz.
The i2c clock frequency used by this project is 400KHz.

I2C Port selection

The ESP32 XTENSA series has two I2C Ports.
You can use these two ports freely.
If you use this module at the same time as another I2C device using I2C port 0, you must change it to I2C port 1.

SPI Clock speed

According to the SSD1306 datasheet, the minimum SPI clock cycle time is 100ns.
Therefore, the maximum SPI clock frequency is 10MHz.
The SPI clock frequency used by this project is 1MHz.
Higher SPI clock frequencies can be specified using spi_clock_speed().
When using 10MHz, you need to be careful about the length of the wire cable.

    //int speed = 1000000; // 1MHz
    //int speed = 2000000; // 2MHz
    //int speed = 4000000; // 4MHz
    //int speed = 6000000; // 6MHz
    //int speed = 8000000; // 8MHz
    int speed = 10000000; // 10MHz
    spi_clock_speed(speed);
    spi_master_init(&dev, CONFIG_MOSI_GPIO, CONFIG_SCLK_GPIO, CONFIG_CS_GPIO, CONFIG_DC_GPIO, CONFIG_RESET_GPIO);

SPI BUS selection

The ESP32 XTENSA series has three SPI BUSs.
SPI1_HOST is used for communication with Flash memory.
You can use SPI2_HOST and SPI3_HOST freely.
When you use SDSPI(SD Card via SPI), SDSPI uses SPI2_HOST BUS.
When using this module at the same time as SDSPI or other SPI device using SPI2_HOST, it needs to be changed to SPI3_HOST.
When you don't use SDSPI, both SPI2_HOST and SPI3_HOST will work.
Previously it was called HSPI_HOST / VSPI_HOST, but now it is called SPI2_HOST / SPI3_HOST.
