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.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rgb-display

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rgb-display

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rgb-display

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)
