CircuitPython library for RGB displays.

Project description

Introduction

Documentation Status Discord Build Status

Port of display drivers from https://github.com/adafruit/micropython-adafruit-rgb-display to Adafruit CircuitPython for use on Adafruit’s SAMD21-based and other CircuitPython boards.

This CircuitPython driver currently supports displays that use the following display-driver chips: HX8353, HX8357, ILI9341, S6D02A1, ST7789, SSD1331, SSD1351, and ST7735.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Usage Example

import busio
import digitalio
from board import SCK, MOSI, MISO, D2, D3

from adafruit_rgb_display import color565
import adafruit_rgb_display.ili9341 as ili9341


# Configuration for CS and DC pins:
CS_PIN = D2
DC_PIN = D3

# Setup SPI bus using hardware SPI:
spi = busio.SPI(clock=SCK, MOSI=MOSI, MISO=MISO)

# Create the ILI9341 display:
display = ili9341.ILI9341(spi, cs=digitalio.DigitalInOut(CS_PIN),
                          dc=digitalio.DigitalInOut(DC_PIN))

# Main loop:
while True:
    # Clear the display
    display.fill(0)
    # Draw a red pixel in the center.
    display.pixel(120, 160, color565(255, 0, 0))
    # Pause 2 seconds.
    time.sleep(2)
    # Clear the screen blue.
    display.fill(color565(0, 0, 255))
    # Pause 2 seconds.
    time.sleep(2)

Building locally

To build this library locally you’ll need to install the circuitpython-build-tools package.

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install circuitpython-build-tools

Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:

source .env/bin/activate

Then run the build:

circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-rgb_display --library_location .

Sphinx documentation

Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First, install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:

cd docs
sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

This will output the documentation to docs/_build/html. Open the index.html in your browser to view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to locally verify it will pass.
