3.1.2 Library
We use the U8g2 library for the Arduino, which was published by
oliver
. You can find this library in your Arduino IDE under
Tools
→
Manage libraries...
. If you have successfully downloaded the libra
ry, you can find examples under
File → Examples → U8g2 Examp
les
.
3.1.3 Code Example
Here we will explain how to use a code example of the U8g2 library.
We will use the example
GraphicsTest
.
This example can be found under
File → Examples → U8g2
→
full_buer → GraphicsTest
. In this code, you need to uncomment
line 161 before you can execute it using the Upload button.
This is because line 161 contains the declaration of the display
using SPI. Of course, you can use the other examples in the same
way by uncommenting the same line in the other code
examples.
Note that under
Tools
, Board and Port must be correctly selected.

4.2 Library
We use the library u8g2-rpi-demo from
ribasco
, which is released under
the Apache License 2.0.
First, download
git
for this purpose. To do this, enter the following com-
mands:
git clone https://github.com/ribasco/u8g2-rpi-demo.git
Now enter the following commands into the console to download and
install all the necessary files.
Some steps in the installation might take some time.
cd u8g2-rpi-demo/
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/Kitware/CMake.git
cd CMake
./bootstrap --system-curl
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Then run the following command to download the library.
cd ..
Select there under
3 Interface Options → P4 SPI
sudo raspi-config
Now enable serial communication by calling the configuration of the
Raspberry Pi with the following command.

4.3 Usage of the library
You can compile the code example from the library with the following
command.
./compile.sh
You can press Y to confirm starting the sample code immediately aer
compiling, or run the following command.
./build/arm/debug/bin/u8g2demo
You can also edit the sample code using the
main.cpp
. If you edit this file,
you must recompile it with the first command.
Agree with the question „
Would you like the SPI interface to be enabled?“
with
„Yes“.
Finish the activation of the SPI interface
„OK“
and close the configurati-
on with
„Finish“
.
You have now successfully activated the SPI interface. Please reboot your
