adafruit-circuitpython-st7735 1.2.20

displayio driver for ST7735 TFT-LCD displays.

Introduction

displayio driver for ST7735B TFT-LCD displays.

Hardware

This driver does not work for any current Adafruit Displays. It is intended to be used with displays with an ST7735B or similar chipset and was created using initialization codes from the Arduino Library. If you have a newer Adafruit Display with a ST7735R or ST7735S chip, please visit the Adafruit ST7735R Driver.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython 4.0.0-beta.0+

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 board
import displayio
import fourwire
from adafruit_st7735 import ST7735

spi = board.SPI()
tft_cs = board.D5
tft_dc = board.D6

displayio.release_displays()
display_bus = fourwire.FourWire(spi, command=tft_dc, chip_select=tft_cs, reset=board.D9)

display = ST7735(display_bus, width=128, height=128)

# Make the display context
splash = displayio.Group()
display.root_group = splash

color_bitmap = displayio.Bitmap(128, 128, 1)
color_palette = displayio.Palette(1)
color_palette[0] = 0xFF0000

bg_sprite = displayio.TileGrid(color_bitmap,
                               pixel_shader=color_palette,
                               x=0, y=0)
splash.append(bg_sprite)

while True:
    pass
