LCD and the controller

The ST7789VW is a single-chip controller/driver for 262K-color, graphic type TFT-LCD. It consists of 240 source line and 320 gate line driving circuits. The resolution of this LCD is 135(H)RGB x 240(V), it supports horizontal mode and vertical mode, and it doesn't use all the RAM of controller.
This LCD accepts 8-bits/9-bits/16-bits/18-bits parallel interface, that are RGB444, RGB565, RGB666. The color format used in demo codes is RGB565.
This LCD use a 4-lines SPI interface for reducing GPIO and fast speed.LCD

Working Protocol

0.96inch lcd module spi.png
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.
RESX Is the reset pin, it should be low when powering the module and be higher at other times;;
CSX is slave chip select, when CS is low, the chip is enabled.
D/CX is data/command control pin, when DC = 0, write command, when DC = 1, write data
SDA is the data pin for transmitting RGB data, it works as the MOSI pin of SPI interface;
SCL worka s the SCLK pins of SPI interface.
SPI communication has data transfer timing, which is combined by CPHA and CPOL.
CPOL determines the level of the serial synchronous clock at idle state. When CPOL = 0, the level is Low. However, CPOL has little effect to the transmission.
CPHA determines whether data is collected at the first clock edge or at the second clock edge of serial synchronous clock; when CPHL = 0, data is collected at the first clock edge.
There are 4 SPI communication modes. SPI0 is commonly used, in which CPHL = 0, CPOL = 0.

FBCP Porting

PS: FBCP is currently not compatible with a 64-bit Raspberry Pi system, it is recommended to use a 32-bit system.

Framebuffer uses a video output device to drive a video display device from a memory buffer containing complete frame data. Simply put, a memory area is used to store the display content, and the display content can be changed by changing the data in the memory.
There is an open source project on Git Hub: fbcp-ili9341. Compared with other fbcp projects, this project uses partial refresh and DMA to achieve a speed of up to 60fps.

Download Drivers

sudo apt-get install cmake -y
cd ~
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/1/18/Waveshare_fbcp.zip
unzip Waveshare_fbcp.zip
cd Waveshare_fbcp/
sudo chmod +x ./shell/*

Method 1: Use a script (recommended)

Here we have written several scripts that allow users to quickly use fbcp and run corresponding commands according to their own screen.
If you use a script and do not need to modify it, you can ignore the second method below.
Note: The script will replace the corresponding /boot/config.txt and /etc/rc.local and restart, if the user needs, please back up the relevant files in advance.

#0.96inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-0inch96
#1.14inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch14
#1.3inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch3
#1.44inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch44
#1.54inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch54
#1.8inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch8
#2inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-2inch
#2.4inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-2inch4

Method 2: Manual Configuration

Environment Configuration

Raspberry Pi's vc4-kms-v3d will cause fbcp to fail, so we need to close vc4-kms-v3d before installing it in fbcp.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Just block the statement corresponding to the picture below.
FBCP CLOSE.jpg
A reboot is then required.

sudo reboot

Compile and run

mkdir build
cd build
cmake [options] ..
sudo make -j
sudo ./fbcp

Replace it by yourself according to the LCD Module you use, above cmake [options] ..

#0.96inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_0INCH96_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..

#2.4inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_2INCH4_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..

Set up to start automatically

1in3 lcd fb5.png
sudo cp ~/Waveshare_fbcp/build/fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp
sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add fbcp& before exit 0. Note that you must add "&" to run in the background. Otherwise, the system may not be able to start.

Set the Display Resolution

Set the user interface display size in the /boot/config.txt file.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Then add the following lines at the end of the config.txt.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_cvt=[options]
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
display_rotate=0

Replace the above hdmi_cvt=[options] according to the LCD Module you are using.

#2.4inchinch LCD Module & 2inchinch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=640 480 60 1 0 0 0

#1.8inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=400 300 60 1 0 0 0

#1.3inch LCD Module & 1.54inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=300 300 60 1 0 0 0

#1.14inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=300 170 60 1 0 0 0

#0.96inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=300 150 60 1 0 0 0

And then reboot the system:

sudo reboot

After rebooting the system, the Raspberry Pi OS user interface will be displayed.

API Description

The RaspberryPi series can share a set of programs, because they are all embedded systems, and the compatibility is relatively strong.
The program is divided into bottom-layer hardware interface, middle-layer LCD screen driver, and upper-layer application;

C

Hardware Interface

We have carried out the low-level encapsulation, if you need to know the internal implementation can go to the corresponding directory to check, for the reason the hardware platform and the internal implementation are different.
You can open DEV_Config.c(.h) to see definitions, which in the directory RaspberryPi\c\lib\Config.

1. There are three ways for C to drive: BCM2835 library, WiringPi library, and Dev library respectively
2. We use Dev libraries by default. If you need to change to BCM2835 or WiringPi libraries, please open RaspberryPi\c\Makefile and modify lines 13-15 as follows:  

RPI open spi1.png

Testing Code for Users

For Raspberry Pi, in the directory: RaspberryPi\c\examples, for all the test code;

LCD rpi c examples&128.png

If you need to run the 0.96-inch LCD test program, you need to add 0.96 as a parameter when running the main demo.
Re-execute in Linux command mode as follows:

make clean
make
sudo ./main 0.96

Python (for Raspberry Pi)

Works with python and python3.
For python, his calls are not as complicated as C.
Raspberry Pi: RaspberryPi\python\lib\

lcdconfig.py

  • Module initialization and exit processing.
def module_init()
def module_exit()
Note:
1. Here is some GPIO processing before and after using the LCD screen.
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.
  • GPIO read and write:
def  digital_write(pin, value)
def  digital_read(pin)
  • SPI write data.
def spi_writebyte(data)
  • xxx_LCD_test.py (xxx indicates the size, if it is a 0.96inch LCD, it is 0inch96_LCD_test.py, and so on)

python is in the following directory:
Raspberry Pi: RaspberryPi\python\examples\

LCD rpi python examples2.png

If your python version is python2 and you need to run the 0.96inch LCD test program, re-execute it as follows in linux command mode:

sudo python 0inch96_LCD_test.py

If your python version is python3 and you need to run the 0.96inch LCD test program, re-execute the following in linux command mode:

sudo python3 0inch96_LCD_test.py

About Rotation Settings

If you need to set the screen rotation in the python program, you can set it by the statement im_r= image1.rotate(270).

im_r= image1.rotate(270)
Rotation effect, take 1.54 as an example, the order is 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°

GUI Functions

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

  • It needs to use the image library and install the library.
sudo apt-get install python3-pil  

And then import the library

from PIL import Image,ImageDraw,ImageFont.

Among them, Image is the basic library, ImageDraw is the drawing function, and ImageFont is the text function.

  • Define an image cache to facilitate drawing, writing, and other functions on the picture.
image1 = Image.new("RGB", (disp.width, disp.height), "WHITE")

The first parameter defines the color depth of the image, which is defined as "1" to indicate the bitmap of one-bit depth. The second parameter is a tuple that defines the width and height of the image. The third parameter defines the default color of the buffer, which is defined as "WHITE".

  • Create a drawing object based on Image1 on which all drawing operations will be performed on here.
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image1)
  • Draw a line.
draw.line([(20, 10),(70, 60)], fill = "RED",width = 1)

The first parameter is a four-element tuple starting at (0, 0) and ending at (127,0). Draw a line. Fill ="0" means the color of the line is white.

  • Draw a rectangle.
draw.rectangle([(20,10),(70,60)],fill = "WHITE",outline="BLACK")

The first argument is a tuple of four elements. (20,10) is the coordinate value in the upper left corner of the rectangle, and (70,60) is the coordinate value in the lower right corner of the rectangle. Fill =" WHITE" means BLACK inside, and outline="BLACK" means the color of the outline is black.

  • Draw a circle.
draw.arc((150,15,190,55),0, 360, fill =(0,255,0)

Draw an inscribed circle in the square, the first parameter is a tuple of 4 elements, with (150, 15) as the upper left corner vertex of the square, (190, 55) as the lower right corner vertex of the square, specifying the level median line of the rectangular frame is the angle of 0 degrees, the second parameter indicates the starting angle, the third parameter indicates the ending angle, and fill = 0 indicates that the color of the line is white. If the figure is not square according to the coordination, you will get an ellipse.

Besides the arc function, you can also use the chord function for drawing a solid circle.

draw.ellipse((150,65,190,105), fill = 0)

The first parameter is the coordination of the enclosing rectangle. The second and third parameters are the beginning and end degrees of the circle. The fourth parameter is the fill color of the circle.

  • Character.

The ImageFont module needs to be imported and instantiated:

Font1 = ImageFont.truetype("../Font/Font01.ttf",25)
Font2 = ImageFont.truetype("../Font/Font01.ttf",35)
Font3 = ImageFont.truetype("../Font/Font02.ttf",32)

You can use the fonts of Windows or other fonts which is in ttc format..
Note: Each character library contains different characters; If some characters cannot be displayed, it is recommended that you can refer to the encoding set ro used. To draw English characters, you can directly use the fonts; for Chinese characters, you need to add a symbol u:

draw.text((40, 50), 'WaveShare', fill = (128,255,128),font=Font2)
text= u"微雪电子"
draw.text((74, 150),text, fill = "WHITE",font=Font3)

The first parameter is a tuple of 2 elements, with (40, 50) as the left vertex, the font is Font2, and the fill is the font color. You can directly make fill = "WHITE", because the regular color value is already defined Well, of course, you can also use fill = (128,255,128), the parentheses correspond to the values of the three RGB colors so that you can precisely control the color you want. The second sentence shows Waveshare Electronics, using Font3, the font color is white.

  • read local image
image = Image.open('../pic/LCD_1inch28.jpg')

The parameter is the image path.

  • Other functions.
