Description

The 1.3" SPi colour square LCD 240x240 breakout is a crisp, high-res, with great viewing angles (IPS), square, 240x240 pixel, colour LCD that will add some pizazz to your Raspberry Pi or Arduino projects.

The square form factor of this display makes it great for cramming lots of information on—data, graphs, and even things like album art and photos. This is an IPS display, so it has great viewing angles and it's super-crisp and bright.

It's driven by SPI and you should be able to run it at up to ~50FPS, although anywhere from 10FPS looks good for most uses.

You can use this breakout completely solder-free with the Breakout Garden HAT with SPI!

An existing Python library has been adapted to drive this display. The library makes it straightforward to display images, text or graphics, and even display animated GIFs!

This board can also be used with Raspberry Pi Pico and other RP2040 boards, using C++ or Pirate brand MicroPython.

Connecting to a Raspberry Pi:

If you're not using a Breakout Garden, then this is how to connect your LCD Breakout up to your Raspberry Pi. The Python library is set up to use SPI 0 by default on the Pi (BCM 7 for CS, BCM 11 for SCK, and BCM 10 for MOSI), BCM 9 for DC, and BCM 19 for the backlight.

Here's which pins to connect between your 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 instantiate the display in your code.

Connecting to a Raspberry Pi Pico:

The easiest way to use these SPI breakouts with a Raspberry Pi Pico is by plugging them into a Pico Breakout Garden.

If you'd rather 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
