LCD & Controller

The built-in driver used in this LCD is GC9A01, with a resolution of 240RGB×240 dots, 129,600 bytes of GRAM inside. This LCD supports 12/16/18-bit data bus MCU interface, namely the formats of RGB444, RGB565, RGB666, which are commonly used. Most of the LCD controllers can debug their communication ways such as by 8080 parallel interfaces, three-wire SPI, four-wire SPI, and so on. This LCD adopts a four-wire SPI communication interface, which can greatly save the GPIO port, and the communication speed will be faster.

  • Maybe you have doubts that as the screen is circular, which point is the first pixel? How to determine the coordinates?

    • In fact, you can presume that a square screen draws an inscribed circle in it. We only display the content in this inscribed circle, and the pixels beside the square are deleted. The same is true for most of the circular LCDs on the market.

Communication Protocol

Note: Different from the traditional SPI protocol: the data line sent from the slave to the host is hidden as the LCD only needs to be displayed. Please refer to the table on Datasheet Page 105. RESX: reset, it is pulled low when the module is powered on, and it is usually set to 1. CSX: the slave chip selection and the chip will be enabled only when CS is low. D/CX: the data/command control pin of the chip, write command when DC = 0, write data when DC=1 SDA: the transmitted data, that is, RGB data; SCL: the SPI communication clock. For SPI communication, data is transmitted with timing, that is, the combination of clock phase (CPHA) and clock polarity (CPOL): The level of CPHA determines whether the data of the serial synchronization clock is collected on the first clock transition edge or the second clock transition edge. When CPHA = 0, data acquisition is performed on the first transition edge; The level of CPOL determines the idle state level of the serial synchronous clock. CPOL = 0, which is a low level. As can be seen from the figure, when the first falling edge of SCLK starts to transmit data, 8bit data is transmitted in one clock cycle, using SPI0, bit-by-bit transmission, high-order first, and low-order at last.

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 terminal, use command to enter the configuration page

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.

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:

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.

  • Other functions.
