LVGL ported to iCOP QEC-PPC-M-090T

🚀 This repository is available in the LVGL Project Creator, making it easy to create and customize a new project in just a few clicks.

Overview

The iCOP QEC-PPC-M-090T is a capable, fully-featured industrial HMI. It has a specialized 533 MHz 32-bit x86 CPU. The programming environment is Arduino. The fusion of the mature x86 architecture with the Arduino ecosystem opens up powerful application opportunities. There is a separate dedicated core for EtherCAT.

Getting started

Hardware setup

• Connect the four ferruled wires to the Vs and Vp power inputs. Match the two red wires with the two red receptacles and the two black wires with the two black receptacles. Connect the barrel-jack connector to the wire bundle. Plug the adapter in.
• Connect a USB C cable to your PC.

Software setup

1. Download the 86Duino Coding IDE 501 from here.
2. Extract the zip file.
3. Launch 86duino.exe. No installation required. The IDE will open.
4. Download this pre-configured LVGL Arduino library package.
5. In the 86Duino IDE, go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library. Select the downloaded LVGL library ZIP file you downloaded. It will be extracted to C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\86Duino\libraries.
6. Copy Documents\86Duino\libraries\lvgl-master\lv_conf_template.h to Documents\86Duino\libraries\lv_conf.h.
7. Edit the new file so that #if 0 on line 15 is #if 1.
8. Restart the 86Duino IDE.

Run the project

1. Go to File > Examples > lvgl > arduino > LVGL_Arduino. Wait for the new window to open. Note that lvgl will be at the very bottom of File > Examples.

   OR

   As an alternative to the previous step, you may open the LVGL_Arduino.ino file from this repo. Use File > Open.

2. Select the board "QEC PPC 9" under Tools > Boards.

3. Select the correct COM port under Tools > Port. Ensure the device is connected.

4. Click the the Upload button to build and upload the project to the device.

Debugging

• Open the Serial Monitor by clicking the Serial Monitor button in the top-right. Ensure the baud rate is set to 115200. Logged messages will appear here.
