12## Usage
13
14To enable the feature, there are three steps. First, when compiling your keyboard, you'll need to add the following to your `rules.mk`:
15
16```make
17ST7565_ENABLE = yes
18```
19
20Then in your `keymap.c` file, implement the ST7565 task call. This example assumes your keymap has three layers named `_QWERTY`, `_FN` and `_ADJ`:
21
22```c
23#ifdef ST7565_ENABLE
24void st7565_task_user(void) {
25 // Host Keyboard Layer Status
26 st7565_write_P(PSTR("Layer: "), false);
27
28 switch (get_highest_layer(layer_state)) {
29 case _QWERTY:
30 st7565_write_P(PSTR("Default\n"), false);
31 break;
32 case _FN:
33 st7565_write_P(PSTR("FN\n"), false);
34 break;
35 case _ADJ:
36 st7565_write_P(PSTR("ADJ\n"), false);
37 break;
38 default:
39 // Or use the write_ln shortcut over adding '\n' to the end of your string
40 st7565_write_ln_P(PSTR("Undefined"), false);
41 }
42
43 // Host Keyboard LED Status
44 led_t led_state = host_keyboard_led_state();
45 st7565_write_P(led_state.num_lock ? PSTR("NUM ") : PSTR(" "), false);
46 st7565_write_P(led_state.caps_lock ? PSTR("CAP ") : PSTR(" "), false);
47 st7565_write_P(led_state.scroll_lock ? PSTR("SCR ") : PSTR(" "), false);
48}
49#endif
50```

52## Logo Example
53
54In the default font, certain ranges of characters are reserved for a QMK logo. To render this logo to the screen, use the following code example:
55
56```c
57static void render_logo(void) {
58 static const char PROGMEM qmk_logo[] = {
59 0x80, 0x81, 0x82, 0x83, 0x84, 0x85, 0x86, 0x87, 0x88, 0x89, 0x8A, 0x8B, 0x8C, 0x8D, 0x8E, 0x8F, 0x90, 0x91, 0x92, 0x93, 0x94,
60 0xA0, 0xA1, 0xA2, 0xA3, 0xA4, 0xA5, 0xA6, 0xA7, 0xA8, 0xA9, 0xAA, 0xAB, 0xAC, 0xAD, 0xAE, 0xAF, 0xB0, 0xB1, 0xB2, 0xB3, 0xB4,
61 0xC0, 0xC1, 0xC2, 0xC3, 0xC4, 0xC5, 0xC6, 0xC7, 0xC8, 0xC9, 0xCA, 0xCB, 0xCC, 0xCD, 0xCE, 0xCF, 0xD0, 0xD1, 0xD2, 0xD3, 0xD4, 0x00
62 };
63
64 st7565_write_P(qmk_logo, false);
65}
66```
67
68## Buffer Read Example
69For some purposes, you may need to read the current state of the display buffer. The `st7565_read_raw` function can be used to safely read bytes from the buffer.
70
71In this example, calling `fade_display` in the `st7565_task_user` function will slowly fade away whatever is on the screen by turning random pixels off over time.
72```c
73//Setup some mask which can be or'd with bytes to turn off pixels
74const uint8_t single_bit_masks[8] = {127, 191, 223, 239, 247, 251, 253, 254};
75
76static void fade_display(void) {
77 //Define the reader structure
78 display_buffer_reader_t reader;
79 uint8_t buff_char;
80 if (random() % 30 == 0) {
81 srand(timer_read());
82 // Fetch a pointer for the buffer byte at index 0. The return structure
83 // will have the pointer and the number of bytes remaining from this
84 // index position if we want to perform a sequential read by
85 // incrementing the buffer pointer
86 reader = st7565_read_raw(0);
87 //Loop over the remaining buffer and erase pixels as we go
88 for (uint16_t i = 0; i < reader.remaining_element_count; i++) {
89 //Get the actual byte in the buffer by dereferencing the pointer
90 buff_char = *reader.current_element;
91 if (buff_char != 0) {
92 st7565_write_raw_byte(buff_char & single_bit_masks[rand() % 8], i);
93 }
94 //increment the pointer to fetch a new byte during the next loop
95 reader.current_element++;
96 }
97 }
98}
99```

101## Other Examples
102
103In split keyboards, it is very common to have two displays that each render different content and are oriented or flipped differently. You can do this by switching which content to render by using the return value from `is_keyboard_master()` or `is_keyboard_left()` found in `split_util.h`, e.g:
104
105```c
106#ifdef ST7565_ENABLE
107display_rotation_t st7565_init_user(display_rotation_t rotation) {
108 if (!is_keyboard_master()) {
109 return DISPLAY_ROTATION_180; // flips the display 180 degrees if offhand
110 }
111
112 return rotation;
113}
114
115void st7565_task_user(void) {
116 if (is_keyboard_master()) {
117 render_status(); // Renders the current keyboard state (layer, lock, caps, scroll, etc)
118 } else {
119 render_logo(); // Renders a static logo
120 }
121}
122#endif
123```
