Old school demo effects for ESP32

Old schoold demo effects for ESP32

Created to test the HAGL graphics library. For quick reference see the recording on Vimeo.

Ready made config files for M5Stack, M5Stack Core2, M5Stick C, M5Stick CPlus, TTGO T-Display, TTGO T4 V13, TTGO T-Watch 2020 and LilyGO T-QT Pro. For example to compile and flash for M5Stack run the following.

$ git clone https://github.com/tuupola/esp_effects.git --recursive
$ cd esp_effects
$ cp sdkconfig.m5stack sdkconfig
$ make -j8 flash

If you have some other board or display run menuconfig yourself. For smaller screens triple buffering offers the smoothest animations.

$ git clone https://github.com/tuupola/esp_effects.git --recursive
$ cd esp_effects
$ make menuconfig
$ make -j8 flash

Or if you are using the new build system.

$ git clone https://github.com/tuupola/esp_effects.git --recursive
$ cd esp_effects
$ idf.py menuconfig
$ idf.py build flash

Run on computer

HAGL is hardware agnostic. You can run the demos also on your computer.

Documentation of sdkconfig usage and color format

Nice demo @tuupola . Thank you for making it.

One recommendation how to avoid cp of sdkconfig for each platform, is to use environment variable and build like this:

export SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS=sdkconfig.m5stack
idf.py build flash monitor

This approach is descripted in docs here.

Please, could you provide a hint how the picture in head.h was created? I guess that it's RGB565, yet RGB565 or BGR565 is not producing the correct result.

Some extra steps to get it working on M5Stack

Hi, thanks for your library, really nice work!
Anyway. I'm testing with a M5Stack Basic (black), on Windows 10 with IDF v4.1, and I had to take some extra steps to get it working. I'm quite a newbie here, so sorry if I made mistakes or are missing the obvious.

On compiling ($ idf.py build), I got these errors:

To make them go away, I had to go into $ idf.py menuconfig and set this:

And then the compiler gave no errors.

On uploading it to the device, all the colors were inverted. So I had to set:

Which made it run perfectly.

Is this as expected?
