ESP-HUB75

A no-std Rust library for driving HUB75 LED matrix displays from ESP32 series microcontrollers. This library provides efficient implementations using DMA (Direct Memory Access) for optimal performance across all supported ESP32 variants.

Features

• DMA-based implementations for supported ESP32 variants:
  • ESP32-S3: LCD_CAM DMA interface
  • ESP32-C6: PARL_IO DMA interface
  • ESP32: I2S Parallel DMA interface
• Zero-copy frame buffering with DMA transfers
• Support for embedded-graphics for drawing text and shapes

Hardware Requirements

• ESP32 series microcontroller (ESP32, ESP32-S3, or ESP32-C6)
• HUB75 LED matrix display
• Level shifter/converter (recommended for reliable operation)
  • Recommended: 74HCT245 or similar 3.3V to 5V level shifter
  • Connect between GPIOs and HUB75 input pins

Examples

ESP32-S3 (LCD_CAM Interface)

• examples/hello_lcd_cam - Displays "Hello, World!" on the display.
• examples/lcd_cam.rs - Displays a RGB gradient and performance statistics.

ESP32-C6 (PARL_IO Interface)

• examples/hello_parl_io.rs - Displays "Hello, World!" on the display.
• examples/parl_io.rs - Displays a RGB gradient and performance statistics.

ESP32 (I2S Parallel Interface)

• examples/hello_i2s_parallel.rs - Displays "Hello, World!" on the display.
• examples/i2s_parallel.rs - Displays a RGB gradient and performance statistics.

Notes

Note: While not strictly required, using a 3.3V to 5V level shifter between your ESP32 and the HUB75 display is recommended for reliable operation. The ESP32 operates at 3.3V while HUB75 displays typically require 5V signals. A level shifter helps ensure proper signal levels and reliable display operation.
