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 board import displayio # Starting in CircuitPython 9.x fourwire will be a seperate internal library # rather than a component of the displayio library try: from fourwire import FourWire except ImportError: from displayio import FourWire from adafruit_st7789 import ST7789 displayio.release_displays() spi = board.SPI() while not spi.try_lock(): pass spi.configure(baudrate=24000000) # Configure SPI for 24MHz spi.unlock() tft_cs = board.D5 tft_dc = board.D6 display_bus = FourWire(spi, command=tft_dc, chip_select=tft_cs, reset=board.D9) display = ST7789(display_bus, width=240, height=240, rowstart=80, bgr=True, invert=True) # Make the display context splash = displayio.Group() display.root_group = splash color_bitmap = displayio.Bitmap(240, 240, 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
