Adafruit-GFX-dummy-display aims to provide a virtual display to develop graphics using Adafruit-GFX-Library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library) without hardware.

It is currently using SDL graphic library and runs under Linux. Under Debian it is installed using the following command

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev

On macOS with homebrew, use:

brew install sdl2

HOW TO :

  • Clone this project
git clone --recursive https://github.com/croutor/Adafruit_GFX_dummy_display.git
  • Compile the dummy display example:
make
  • Run the program
./dummy-display-example

You should see something like this:

Preview

  • Stop the program using Alt+F4 (Cmd-Q on macOS)

It is not an Adafruit project. But I want to say thank you to Adafruit for all the fun I have using Arduino!
