So I'm thinking about going with 2.4" ST7789 for button displays and a 7" SSD1963 for the programming one. Doesn't anyone have any experience with the SSD1963?

The ST7789 is imho a better screen than the ST7735. My next controller will have those screens and then the 2.8' . But also am searching for e-paper screens with multi color led surroundings. Those might be more efficient for the usecase.

I never even considered epaper. I can't find one @2" though. Only 1.54 which is smaller than my 1.8s I currently have. Also need touch for my larger screen. Do they make touch versions?
 
Not sure. The full refresh time is 1.5sec. (there is a typo on the page that says 15sec). Would have to see it in action to see how that would be
 
Was looking at the startup timing for the ST7735 in TFT_eSPI. If you want to speed up initialization, you change change the highlighted number to 150. Saves 350ms. No reason it should be 500ms. Spec sheets all say 150ms.

I fixed a couple of issues related to OpenFontRender. If anyone wants the repo it is here.

It fixes the alignment of multi-line text. It also fixes alignment issues in general. The NotoSans_Bold.h included with OpenFontRenderer is wrong as described here. It also incorrectly sets the em size so the font appears much smaller than it should. So keep in mind if you change you will likely have to reset font sizes

Hey there,

I read on Github that you are still testing the lib. It is ready to be used? I would like to try it man :)
The current allignment isnt a issue for me atm, but if it could be better offcorse i'm all in.

Cheers
 
I've been working last month on my new version of a midi controller. I'm a technology teacher in a village near Barcelona.
My first attempt was a controller for another Kemper amp. I had some troubles dealing with sysex messages.
When I bought Fm3 in January, I tried to redesign my controller. I found tysonIt library, and it was a lot easier then. Thanks so much.

I am using an Arduino Mega with a 4x20 LCD screen. Everything works except when I change the preset in my Fm3 Everything is working except when I change the preset in my Fm3. Then it only refreshes the new number and name of the current scene. Not much important because I change presets from the controller and everything is actualized.

Actually, I'm thinking about how to display all scene names in the screen and toggle effects.
 
Hi~When using third-party MIDI controllers, do you encounter conflicts between snapshot changes and IA switch values? If I use IA Switch #1 to turn on an effect, Then disable the effect via snapshot switching or program change, will the IA Switch #1 update to reflect the actual bypass? thank you!
