Overview

Introduction

The 1.9inch Touch LCD features a 170 × 320 resolution capacitive touchscreen, supporting either a 12PIN terminal interface or an 18PIN FPC slot for connection. It also provides example documentation for Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Pico, Arduino, etc.

Features

  • 170×320 resolution, 262K RGB colors, clear and colorful displaying effect
  • High touch screen transmittance, fast response and long lifetime
  • Embedded with ST7789V2 driver chip and CST816 capacitive touch control chip, using SPI and I2C communication respectively, minimizes required IO pins
  • Lead out LCD control interface, you can choose 12PIN terminal interface or 18PIN FPC slot access display screen
  • Onboard level conversion chip, supports 3.3V/5V two operating levels

  • Restart Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot
  • Check /boot/config.txt, you can see "dtparam=i2c_arm=on" and "dtparam=spi=on" are written
more  /boot/config.txt

  • To ensure that SPI is not occupied, it is recommended that other driver overlays be temporarily turned off. You can use ls /dev/spi* to check the SPI occupancy. The terminal output /dev/spidev0.0 and /dev/spidev0.1 indicates that the SPI situation is normal
ls /dev/spi*

Arduino Environment

Download and Install Arduino IDE

  • Click to visit the Arduino official website, select the corresponding system and system bit to download
    ESP32-S3-AMOLED-1.91-Ar-software-01.png
  • Run the installer and install all by default

Install Arduino-ESP32

  • To use ESP32-related motherboards in Arduino IDE, you must first install the Arduino-ESP32 Board library
  • In some areas, it may not be able to Install online due to network factors, and Install offline is generally recommended
  • To install the Arduino-ESP32 tutorial, please refer to Arduino board manager tutorial

Install Library

  • When installing Arduino libraries, there are usually two ways to choose from: Install online and Install offline.
    For most libraries, users can easily search and install them through the online library manager of the Arduino software. However, some open-source libraries or custom libraries are not synchronized to the Arduino Library Manager, so they cannot be acquired through online searches. In this case, users can only manually install these libraries offline.
  • For library installation tutorial, please refer to Arduino library manager tutorial
Library Name Description Version Library Installation Requirement
GFX_Library_for_Arduino LCD driver library --- Install Offline
CST816 Touch driver library --- "Install Offline"
lvgl Graphical library v8.4.0 "Install Offline"
