==Colour GLCD (BL0157) component==
 +
Graphical display component designed to work with the BL0157 E-block. Based on the ILI9163C 16-bit colour graphical controller IC.
 +
 +
==Component Source Code==
  
==[[File:Component Icon 25db03ef_5393_4fb8_9b34_87a506428296.png|Image]] Colour GLCD (BL0157) component==
+
Please click here for the component source code: [https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wikicopy/componentsource/FC_Comp_Source_EBlocks2_Colour_GLCD_BL0157.fcfx FC_Comp_Source_EBlocks2_Colour_GLCD_BL0157.fcfx]
Graphical display component designed to work with the BL0157 E-block.
 
Based on the ILI9163C 16-bit colour graphical controller IC.
 
  
You can use component macros in flowcode 8 to draw various shapes on the colour GLCD such as a circle, an ellipse, a line and a rectangle. There are also macros to turn the backlight on or off, and to print a string of characters or a decimal number on the screen of the GLCD. As it is a ‘colour’ GLCD, you can set the background or foreground colour by inputting values from 0-255 for red, green and blue, in order to create almost any colour in the world. Before the GLCD can take information in, you need to initialise it with a component macro.
+
==Detailed description==
  
Make sure all connections in flowcode are connected to the correct port and pins, the port should correspond to the port that the colour GLCD is connected to on your E-blocks 2 upstream board.
