Hardware Description
LCD & Controller
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.
Communication Protocol
Note: Different from the traditional SPI protocol, the data line from the slave to the master is hidden since the device only has display requirements.
RESX: the reset pin, should be low when powering the module and be higher at other times;
CSX: slave chip selects, when CS is low, the chip is enabled.
D/CX: data/command control pin, when DC = 0, write command, when DC = 1, write data
SDA: the data pin for transmitting RGB data, it works as the MOSI pin of SPI interface;
SCL works as the SCLK pins of the 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 an idle state. When CPOL = 0, the level is Low. However, CPOL has little effect on the transmission.
CPHA determines whether data is collected at the first clock edge or at the second clock edge of the 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.
Working with Raspberry Pi

FBCP Porting
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.

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:
- Data type:
#define UBYTE uint8_t #define UWORD uint16_t #define UDOUBLE uint32_t
- Module initialization and exit processing.
void DEV_Module_Init(void); void DEV_Module_Exit(void); Note: Here is some GPIO processing before and after using the LCD screen.

Testing Code for Users
For Raspberry Pi, in the directory: RaspberryPi\c\examples, for all the test code;
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\
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)
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.

If running the wiringPi demo is normal, then running Python or BCM2835 may cause the screen to fail to refresh normally, because the bcm2835 library is a library function of the Raspberry Pi CPU chip, and the bottom layer directly operates the registers, while the bottom layer of the wiringPi library and python are read and written by reading and writing. The device file of the Linux system operates the device, which may cause the GPIO port to be abnormal. Restarting the Raspberry Pi can solve it perfectly.

C language control can use the function Paint_SetRotate(Rotate); But the flip angle in C language can only be 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees; Python can call rotate(Rotate) to flip any angle.
