Draw Arduino Logo with MKR Vidor 4000

Draw the Arduino Logo on an HDMI monitor, using the MKR Vidor 4000 board.

This example uses the drawing functions of the VidorGFX library to recreate on screen our beloved logo, in a stylized form. The functions available for the graphics generation are the same of the Adafruit_GFX library.

Code

Include the Vidor_GFX library, which is part of VidorGraphics.

  • #include "VidorGraphics.h"
  • #include "Vidor_GFX.h"

To manage graphics on screen you need to create an object with

Vidor_GFX vdgfx;
then all the functions will refer to that object. In our example we draw circles, rectangles and lines, with some added text. The screen resolution used for this example is 640 x 480 pixels and all the primitives are used with this coordinate system as reference.

The complete sketch is below and you find it in the examples from Libraries, under VidorGraphics :

1#include "VidorGraphics.h"
2#include "Vidor_GFX.h"

4Vidor_GFX vdgfx;

10 // wait for the serial monitor to open,
11
12 // if you are powering the board from a USB charger remove the next line
13
14 while (!Serial);
15
16 // Initialize the FPGA
17
18 if (!FPGA.begin()) {
19
20 Serial.println("Initialization failed!");
21
22 while (1) {}

26 delay(4000);
