Question on How to Update the M5Stack Sprite Library

Shift1313

Hi all, I have been using the M5Stack library which incorporates the TFT_eSPI library to some degree to allow sprites to be easily used in graphics. I have noticed that not all commands are available, specifically "pushToSprite" to allow me to composite multiple sprites past the "pushRotated" command.

General Question: Has anyone successfully updated the M5Stack Sprite.h and Sprite.cpp to include more current version of the TFT_eSPI library?

I have tried to add these from the TFT_eSPI Sprite.cpp and Sprite.h but am falling a bit short on my knowledge on how to handle the errors I get compiling. When I copy the needed code over to the M5Stack library I am not able to compile and get errors surrounding other commands which I didn't touch. For example when I copy over the code for pushToSprite and created i then get errors with the number of arguments it is looking for as well as errors with other calls such as pushImage, which were fine before.

These are the libraries I want to use(update some commands in M5Stack).

Rather than post my hack attempt I was hoping someone could offer some guidance on how to update these libraries used in M5Stack and maybe why not all of the library was included in the first place?

Thanks!

Try the LovyanGFX Library.

LovyanGFX/examples/Sprite/

LovyanGFX is twice as fast as TFT-eSPI.

@macsbug Thanks for the tip I will give it a shot. The short demo video looks promising as I see a gauge that looks great. I have similar results with the Sprite library but fall short on compositing sprites past pushRotated.

Thanks
