Library for graphical LCDs for Python on Raspberry Pi. Creates a united interface for supported devices
Supported:
- ili9486 via SPI
- ili9325 via GPIO
- ssd1306 via SPI
- nju6450 via GPIO
- sh1106 via SPI
And for touch panels:
- ad7843 via SPI, uses irq or not
- ad7846/xpt2046
Bonus
- HD44780 emulation (works with CharLCD)
On NJU and SSD uses buffer to keep current content as help for page operations.
Wiring is below
Demos are in demos directory
from driver.ssd1306.spi import SPI
from driver.ssd1306.ssd1306 import SSD1306
drv = SPI()
o = SSD1306(128, 64, drv)
o.init()
If you want to set your own pins:
drv = SPI()
drv.pins = {
'RST': 13,
'DC': 6,
'CS': None,
}
o = SSD1306(128, 64, drv)
o.init()
or
drv = SPI(RST=31, CS=3)
You can add point transformation callback, used during flush:
def transform_ij(lcd, i, j):
offset_width = lcd.height // 2
if 0 <= i < offset_width:
i = i + offset_width
else:
i = i - offset_width
return (i,j)
lcd.xy_callback = transform_ij
Based on SSD1306, has the same functions

from gfxlcd.driver.sh1106.sh1106 import SH1106
drv = SPI()

or
lcd = SH1106(132, 64, SPI(CS=21))

Font class implements Font abstract and is a class that has a dictionary with each char:
(..)
[0x3C, 0x66, 0x03, 0x03, 0x73, 0x66, 0x7C, 0x00], # U+0047 (G)
(..)
There is one font for now, 8x8 and named Font8x8 and is used by default.
Constructor:
AD7843(width, height, (int_pin), (callback), (cs_pin))
Can be used with int_pin and cs_pin
def callback(position):
print('(x,y)', position)
touch = AD7843(240, 320, 26, callback, 17)
touch.init()
or without:
touch = AD7843(240, 320)
touch.init()
while True:
try:
time.sleep(0.05)
ret = touch.get_position()
if ret:
print(ret[0], ret[1])
except KeyboardInterrupt:
touch.close()
There is no automatic calibration. It must be done manually.
