spi lcd module dfrobot made in china

This LCD module uses a 128x64 liquid crystal display that support Chinese character , English characters and even graphics. It can exhibit 4 lines and 12 English characters/6 Chinese characters per line. It is suitable for interactive work with Arduino.

The following sample is working under SPI mode. It demonstrates how to display integers on the LCD scrren. You will need the Arduino Library which can be downloaded here.

This is a 2.2” TFT LCD Display Module with an input voltage of 3.3V~5.5V, which is used to display colorful patterns and characters. The fastest screen refresh speed is about 256ms. The module is able to display multiple patterns in a cycle and realize dynamic display effect. At present, there are 19 common defined colors in the library, and users can also customize16-bit color codes. If we take the central point of the display as the origin of coordinates, the maximum absolute value of the positive and negative axis will be 64.

This ST7735S 1.8" TFT Display features a resolution of 128×160 and SPI (4-wire) communication. Integrated with an SD card slot, it allows to easily read full-color bitmaps from the SD card. The module provides users with two wiring methods: pin header wiring and GDI (General Display interface). You can directly use an FPC cable to connect the display to any controller with GDI interface like FireBeetle-M0. Plug and play, easy to wire. Besides, the display supports low refresh rate and offers good display effect and strong versatility. It can be used in applications like sensor monitoring and alarm, Arduino temperature monitor, fan controller, etc.

This product is a breakout module that features SPI communication mode and onboard GDI interface, which could reduce the complexity of wiring. It can easily display the read content from the SD card.

DFRobot FireBeetle series is low-power development component designed for Internet of Things(IoT). This FireBeetle Covers-ePaper Black&White&Red Display Module(SPI) features a 2.13-inch electronic ink screen with 212x104 resolution and SPI interface, supporting Arduino library and microPython programming. This module is suitable for the current main control board of Firebeetle series. It has the characteristics of small size, compact layout, plug and play, low power consumption and good display effect. Compared with the traditional electronic ink screen it displays better and it integrates the GT30L24A3W/foreign language font chip. But compared with the traditional black-and-white electronic ink screen within 1s refresh speed, this screen refresh speed is relatively slow (at least once 12s). And it only suitable for static pictures or text display, but not for dynamic refresh.

This LCD module uses a 128x64 liquid crystal display that support Chinese character,  English characters and even graphics. It is suitable for interactive work with Arduino.

The LCD is shipped in Pallelel mode in default.  The R9 is used to set the interface mode. To switch to SPI mode, the R9 resistor need to be moved to R10

Based on ST7789V3 driver chip, this 1.47" display has 172×320 pixels with IPS any-angle viewing and SPI interface for communication. It comes with a 1mm frame and rounded corners. The display can be used to display text messages, images, animations or videos. Also, with the supported Arduino GLD and LVGL libraries, more amazing dynamic effects can be achieved.

The following provides two ways to connect 1.47" display to the FireBeetle ESP32-E: 1. Directly connect to GDI via FPC 2. Connect to SPI function pin.

LCD, or Liquid Crystal Displays, are great choices for many applications. They aren’t that power-hungry, they are available in monochrome or full-color models, and they are available in all shapes and sizes.

Waveshare actually has several round LCD modules, I chose the 1.28-inch model as it was readily available on Amazon. You could probably perform the same experiments using a different module, although you may require a different driver.

Another difference is simply with the labeling on the display. There are two pins, one labeled SDA and the other labeled SCL. At a glance, you would assume that this is an I2C device, but it isn’t, it’s SPI just like the Waveshare device.

Open the Arduino folder. Inside you’ll find quite a few folders, one for each display size that Waveshare supports. As I’m using the 1.28-inch model, I selected theLCD_1inch28folder.

Once you do that, you can open your Arduino IDE and then navigate to that folder. Inside the folder, there is a sketch file namedLCD_1inch28.inowhich you will want to open.

The error just seems to be with a couple of the Chinese characters used in the comments of the sketch. You can just ignore the error, the sketch will compile correctly in spite of it.

Unfortunately, Waveshare doesn’t offer documentation for this, but you can gather quite a bit of information by reading theLCD_Driver.cppfile, where the functions are somewhat documented.

Here is the hookup for the ESP32 and the GC9A01 display.  As with most ESP32 hookup diagrams, it is important to use the correct GPIO numbers instead of physical pins. The diagram shows the WROVER, so if you are using a different module you’ll need to consult its documentation to ensure that you hook it up properly.

The TFT_eSPI library is ideal for this, and several other, displays. You can install it through your Arduino IDE Library Manager, just search for “TFT_eSPI”.

The Animated Eyes sketch can be found within the sample files for the TFT_eSPI library, under the “generic” folder.  Assuming that you have wired up the second GC9A01 display, you’ll want to use theAnimated_Eyes_2sketch.

The GC9A01 LCD module is a 1.28-inch round display that is useful for instrumentation and other similar projects. Today we will learn how to use this display with an Arduino Uno and an ESP32.

But I don’t think I had ever seen transparent displays for the maker market, and DFRobot Fermion is 1.51-inch transparent OLED display with 128×64 resolution that is connected to the host MCU via SPI or GDI (General Display Interface) interface.

There are two ways to connect the display to a development board with the provided adapter using headers and jumper cables for SPI which should be compatible with most platforms, a flat cable with a GDI connection to a board such as DFRobot Firebeetle ESP32-E board with a specific connector to connect external displays.

As a 2inch IPS display module with a resolution of 240 * 320, it uses an SPI interface for communication. The LCD has an internal controller with basic functions, which can be used to draw points, lines, circles, and rectangles, and display English, Chinese as well as pictures.

The 2inch LCD uses the PH2.0 8PIN interface, which can be connected to the Raspberry Pi according to the above table: (Please connect according to the pin definition table. The color of the wiring in the picture is for reference only, and the actual color shall prevail.)

The LCD supports 12-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit input color formats per pixel, namely RGB444, RGB565, and RGB666 three color formats, this demo uses RGB565 color format, which is also a commonly used RGB format.

For most LCD controllers, the communication mode of the controller can be configured, usually with an 8080 parallel interface, three-wire SPI, four-wire SPI, and other communication methods. This LCD uses a four-wire SPI communication interface, which can greatly save the GPIO port, and the communication speed will be faster.

Note: Different from the traditional SPI protocol, the data line from the slave to the master is hidden since the device only has display requirement.

2. The module_init() function is automatically called in the INIT () initializer on the LCD, but the module_exit() function needs to be called by itself

Python has an image library PIL official library link, it do not need to write code from the logical layer like C, can directly call to the image library for image processing. The following will take 1.54inch LCD as an example, we provide a brief description for the demo.
