st7789.py

This is a fork of devbis' st7789py_mpy module from https://github.com/devbis/st7789py_mpy.

I modified the original driver for one of my projects by adding support for display rotation, scrolling and drawing text using 8 and 16 bit wide bitmap fonts with heights that are multiples of 8. Included are 12 bitmap fonts derived from classic pc text mode fonts and a couple of example programs that run on the TTGO T-Display.

This is a work in progress. More documentation can be found at https://penfold.owt.com/st7789py/ and videos of the example programs running can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atBa0BYPAAc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cnAhEucPD4.

Slow ST7789 driver for MicroPython

This is a slow MicroPython driver for 240x240 ST7789 display without CS pin from Ali Express. It also supports 135x240 TTGO Display

Version: 0.1.4

The performance is quite low due to python function call overhead. If you have a chance to build firmware and you are using ESP8266/ESP32 controllers, you should try the fast driver https://github.com/devbis/st7789_mpy

Examples

# ESP8266
import machine
import st7789py
spi = machine.SPI(1, baudrate=40000000, polarity=1)
display = st7789py.ST7789(spi, 240, 240, reset=machine.Pin(5, machine.Pin.OUT), dc=machine.Pin(4, machine.Pin.OUT))
display.init()
display.pixel(120, 120, st7789py.YELLOW)
