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 requirement.

• RESX: the reset pin, it should be low when powering the module and be higher at other times;
• CSX: slave chip select, 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 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.

Working with Raspberry Pi

Enable SPI interface

PS: If you are using the system of the Bullseye branch, you need to change “apt-get” to “apt”, the system of the Bullseye branch only supports Python3.

• Open the terminal, and use the command to enter the configuration page.

FBCP Porting

PS: FBCP is currently not compatible with 64-bit Raspberry Pi system, it is recommended to use 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 github: fbcp-ili9341. Compared with other fbcp projects, this project uses partial refresh and DMA to achieve a speed of up to 60fps

Download Drivers

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.

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.

A reboot is then required.

• sudo reboot

Compile and run

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

Set up to start automatically

• sudo cp ~/Waveshare_fbcp/buil
• d/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.

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

And then reboot the system

• sudo reboot

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

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 Micro Snow Electronics, using Font3, the font color is white.

read local image

• image = Image.open(‘../pic/LCD_1inch28.jpg’)

The parameter is the image path.

FAQ

‘Question:’ 1. The LCD keeps black when using it with Raspberry Pi?

Answer:

• Please check that if you have enabled SPI interface
• Check BL pin, if BL pin has no output value, you can try to disconnect BL pin and test it again.

‘Question:’ 2. The python codes has error? Answer:

• Please install image libraries and test it again. Run command: sudo apt-get install pythonimaging to install it and test again.

‘Question:’ 3.Why doesn’t the screen display properly when connected to an Arduino?

Answer:

• When using an Arduino, please make sure it is plugged into a 5v power supply.

‘Question:’ 4.Incorrect use of Raspberry Pi controls may cause?

Answer:

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 is to directly operate 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.

‘Question:’ 5.How to flip the image?

Answer:

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

‘Question:’ 6.What is the maximum power consumption of the 2inch LCD Module?

Answer:

• 3.3V 46mA
