How to use both VSPI & HSPI SPI buses simultaneously?

[neilpanchal]

Hardware:

Board: ESP32-DevKit-C
Core Installation/update date: Latest
IDE name: IDF Component

Description:

Trying to use both VPSI & HSPI busses simultaneously to drive two OLED displays. By default, SPIBegin() works with VSPI pinouts.

Sketch:

I've tried the suggested code here: olikraus/u8g2#377 (comment)

Is the usage of HSPI + VSPI through arduino API possible currently? If so, what is the best way to achieve this?

[me-no-dev]

SPIClass SPI2(HSPI);

void setup(){
  SPI2.begin(...);
  //... your code
}

In order to use the OLED with the other SPI you might need to alter the lib to take SPIClass &spi`` as argument and use that instead of SPI```

I tried replacing all references to SPI and replaced them to SPI2 in this file:
https://github.com/olikraus/U8g2_Arduino/blob/master/src/U8x8lib.cpp#L394
That's the only place SPIClass object is called. I still have the OLED display connected to the following pins. The code compiles fine and I made sure the SPI2 is instantiated in SPI.cpp in the ESP32-Arduino Library.

SDA = IO 23
SCLK = IO 18
D/C = IO 21
RST = IO 22
CS = IO 5

and oled works fine. It didn't switch to HSPI pins.

So, looks like the VSPI (3) and HSPI (2) #defines are not being executed? I need to debug more.

Hello @neilpanchal ,
I am having some difficulty on how to instantiate SPI2 in SPI.cpp.
Can you please explain or give an example?
Much appreciated.
Thanks
