0.96" SPI Colour LCD (160x80) Breakout
A handyĀ lil' LCD to add readouts to your projects. This 0.96" SPI LCD has a 2:1 widescreen aspect ratio, has great viewing angles (IPS), and works with Raspberry Pi or Arduino.
The display is great for displayingĀ tidbits of information like timers, clocks, sensorĀ readings, and more. Why not use it to display the IP address of a headless Raspberry Pi, so that you don't have to connect a full display or fiddle around with nmap?
Despite being so diminutive, this LCD is aĀ gorgeous little display. It's bright, has great resolution and, because it's an IPS panel, it has wide viewing angles and looks greatĀ whichever way you look at it.Ā It's driven by SPIĀ and you should be able to runĀ it at up to ~50FPS, although we've found that anywhere from 10FPS looks good for most uses.
You can use this breakout completely solder-freeĀ with Breakout Garden HAT with SPI!
Features
- 0.96" colour LCD (160x80 pixels)
- SPI interface
- 3.3V or 5V compatible
- Reverse polarity protection
- Compatible with Arduino
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi (Python library)
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico (C++/MicroPython libraries)
Display specifications
- 160x80 pixels (~190 PPI)
- 10.8x21.7mm active area
- 400cd/m2 luminance
- 800:1 contrast ratio
- 160Ā° viewing angle (horizontal and vertical)
- ST7735S driver chip
Software
We've adapted an existing Python library to drive thisĀ display. The library makes it straightforward to display images, text or graphics, and even display animated GIFs!Ā
You can also use this breakout with Raspberry Pi Pico and otherĀ RP2040 boards,Ā usingĀ C++Ā or Pirate brand MicroPython.
Connecting toĀ a Raspberry Pi
If you're not using our Breakout GardenĀ HAT with SPI, then this is how to connect your LCD Breakout up to your Raspberry Pi.
Our Python library is set up to use SPIĀ 0 by default on the Pi (BCM 7Ā for CS, BCM 11 for SCK, and BCM 10 for MOSI), BCMĀ 9 for DC, and BCM 19 for the backlight.
Here's which pins to connect between your 0.96" LCD Breakout and your Pi's GPIO (note that it's BCM pin numbering):
- 3-5V to any 5V or 3V pin
- CS to BCM 7
- SCK to BCM 11
- MOSI to BCM 10
- DC to BCM 9
- BL to BCM 19
- GND to any ground pin
You can of course use other pins with your LCD Breakout, but you'll have to change them accordingly when you instantiateĀ the display in your code.
Connecting to a Raspberry Pi Pico
The easiest way to use our SPI breakouts with a Raspberry Pi Pico is by plugging them into aĀ Pico Breakout Garden BaseĀ or aĀ Pico Breakout Garden Pack.
If you'dĀ ratherĀ wire them up to a Pico directly, here's how it goes!
- 3-5V to any 5V or 3V pin
- CS to GP17
- SCK to GP18
- MOSI to GP19
- DC to GP16
- BL to GP20
- GND to any ground pin
