Raspberry Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. It incorporates Raspberry Pi's own RP2040 microcontroller chip, with a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor running up to 133 MHz, embedded 264KB of SRAM, and 2MB of onboard Flash memory, as well as 26x multi-function GPIO pins.
For software development, either Raspberry Pi's C/C++ SDK or the MicroPython is available. There are also complete development resources and tutorials to help you get started easily, and integrate it into end products quickly.

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 the 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 uses a 4-line SPI interface for reducing GPIO and fast speed.

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 a 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 work 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 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.

Software Setup

Please follow the guides of Raspberry Pi to install and set up Pico for the Pico.

For easy use, we recommend you use the Thonny tool.

  • Thonny website
  • Please set the Thonny development environment to be RaspberryPi when setting

Hardware Connection

Please take care of the direction when you connect Pico, an USB port is printed to indicate. You can also check the pin of Pico and the LCD board when connecting.
You can connect the display according to the table.

LCD Pico Description

Download the examples

Open a Raspberry Pi terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
cd ~
sudo wget  https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/c/c5/Pico-Kit-B-code.7z
7z x Pico-Kit-B-code.7z -o./Pico-Kit-B-code
cd ~/Pico-Kit-B-code
cd c/build/

How to use

C Example

Go to the directory of C example and build it 

cd ~/Pico-Kit-B-code/c/

Create the build folder and enter it. add the SDK:

../../pico-sdk #should be the path of the SDK according to the actual situation.

We have created the build folder in the example, you can just enter it.

cd build
export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../pico-sdk
(Note: Please check if you set the correct path of SDK, it maybe different for different users)

Run cmake to generate the Makefile 

cmake ..

Run make to build the example, it will takes minutes.

make -j9

uf2 is generated after building.
Press and hold the button of the Pico board, and then connect the Pico to your Raspberry Pi or PC by USB cable, then release the button. Then copy the main.uf2 file which is saved in the build folder to the Pico (It should be recognized as a portable drive, which is named RPI-RP2).

Python example

Work with windows PC

  • 1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button of Pico, and connect the Pico to your PC by USB cable. Release the button if the Pico is recognized as a portable drive.
  • 2.Copy the rp2-pico-20210205-unstable-v1.14-8-g1f800cac3.uf2 from the python directory to the Pico.
  • 3.Open Thonny IDE (Note: Please use the newest version).
  • 4.Click Tools->Options->Interpreter and choose the Port of Pico (you can check it in the Device Manager).

Working with Raspberry Pi

  • 1.The steps to download the firmware is the same as Windows PC. Copy the rp2-pico-20210205-unstable-v1.14-8-g1f800cac3.uf2 to Pico.
  • 2.Open the Thonny IDE in Raspberry Pi（Menu -> Programming -> Thonny Python IDE , you can check the version information in Help->About Thonny make sure that it is the version which support Pico.
  • 3.Click Tools -> Options... -> Interpreter to choose the MicroPython(Raspberry Pi Pico and the ttyACM0 port.

Pico-lcd-0.96-img-config2.png
Please update the Thonny IDE if the pre-installed one doesn't support Pico.

sudo apt upgrade thonny
  • 3.Click File->Open...->Pico-Kit-B-code/python/Raspberry-Pi-Pico-Kit-B.py and run the codes.

Expected result

  • 1. The LCD keeps blank if you didn't run the demo codes;
  • 2. After running the codes, the LCD turns on and displays the data which is collected by the Pico-10DOF-IMU.
