Python ST7789p

Python library to control an ST7789 TFT LCD display

Designed specifically to work with a ST7789 based 240x240 pixel TFT SPI display. (Specifically the 1.3" SPI LCD from Pimoroni).

Updated to allow spi mode to be set.

Make sure you have the following dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio python-spidev python-pip python-pil python-numpy

Install this library by running:

sudo pip3 install ST7789p

Licensing & History

This library is a modification of a modification of code originally written by Tony DiCola for Adafruit Industries, and modified to work with the ST7735 by Clement Skau.

To create this ST7789 driver, it has been hard-forked from st7735-python which was originally modified by Pimoroni to include support for their 160x80 SPI LCD breakout.

Modifications include:

• PIL/Pillow has been removed from the underlying display driver to separate concerns- you should create your own PIL image and display it using display(image)
• width, height, rotation, invert, offset_left and offset_top parameters can be passed into __init__ for alternate displays
• Adafruit_GPIO has been replaced with RPi.GPIO and spidev to closely align with our other software (IE: Raspberry Pi only)
• Test fixtures have been added to keep this library stable
