## 3.4 Driver for ILI9486
This was tested with
The ILI9486 supports displays of up to 480x320 pixels which is large by
microcontroller standards. Even with 4-bit color the frame buffer requires
76,800 bytes. On a Pico `nanogui` works fine, but `micro-gui` fails to
compile unless frozen bytecode is used, in which case it runs with about 75K of
free RAM.
The driver aims to work with any ILI9486, however
[this display](https://www.waveshare.com/product/3.5inch-RPi-LCD-A.htm), a
480x320 color LCD designed for the Raspberry Pi. Note that even with 4-bit
color the display buffer is 76,800 bytes. On a Pico `nanogui` works fine, but
`micro-gui` fails to compile unless frozen bytecode is used, in which case it
runs with about 75K free RAM.
480x320 color LCD designed for the Raspberry Pi, has special hardware. Rather
than driving the ILI9486 via SPI, it uses SPI to fill a shift register, copying
the data to the chip using a parallel interface. The driver is designed to work
with both types of hardware.
See [nanogui setup](https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-nano-gui/blob/master/setup_examples/ili9486_pico.py)
and [microgui setup](https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-micro-gui/blob/main/setup_examples/ili9486_pico.py)
for examples of initialisation files.
##### Generic display wiring
##### Wiring
Testing was done with a Pico, using the following setup files:
[nanogui setup](https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-nano-gui/blob/master/setup_examples/ili9486_pico.py)
and [microgui setup](https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-micro-gui/blob/main/setup_examples/ili9486_pico.py).
These use the following pinout:
| Pico pin | GPIO | Display | Signal |
|:---------|:-----|:--------|:--------|
| 40 | n/a | | Vbus 5V |
| 36 | n/a | | 3.3V |
| 3,8,36.. | n/a | Gnd | Gnd |
| 9 | 6 | SCLK | |
| 10 | 7 | MOSI | |
| 11 | 8 | DC | |
| 12 | 9 | RST | |
| 14 | 10 | CS | |
Please check the power requirements of the display board, which may require a
5V or a 3.3V supply.
##### Waveshare PI HAT wiring
This shows the Raspberry Pi connector looking at the underside of the board
with the bulk of the board to the right. This was tested with a Pi Pico.

The ILI9486 class uses 4-bit color to conserve RAM. Even with this adaptation
the buffer size is 76.85KiB. See [Color handling](./DRIVERS.md#11-color-handling)
for details of the implications of 4-bit color. On the Pico with the display
driver loaded there was 85KiB free RAM running `nano-gui` but `micro-gui` ran
out of RAM..
The ILI9486 class uses 4-bit color to conserve RAM. See
[Color handling](./DRIVERS.md#11-color-handling) for the implications of 4-bit
color. On the Pico with the display driver loaded there was 85KiB free RAM
running `nano-gui`. To run `micro-gui` it was necessary to run the GUI as
frozen bytecode, when it ran with 75K of free RAM.
The driver uses the `micropython.viper` decorator. If your platform does not
support this, the Viper code will need to be rewritten with a substantial hit

# required by the Waveshare Pi HAT.
# Design note. I could not find a way to do landscape display at the chip level
# without a nasty hack. Consequently this driver uses portrait mode at chip level,
# with rotation performed in the driver.
# This driver configures the chip in portrait mode with rotation performed in the driver.
# This is done to enable default values to be used for the Column Address Set and Page
# Address Set registers. This avoids having to use commands with multi-byte data values,
# which would necessitate special code for the Waveshare Pi HAT (see DRIVERS.md).
