1.9inch LCD Module User Guide

Specification

  • Operating voltage: 3.3V / 5V (Please ensure that the power supply voltage is consistent with the logic voltage, otherwise it will not work normally.)
  • Communication Interface: SPI
  • Display Panel: IPS
  • Driver: ST7789V2
  • Resolution: 170 (H) RGB × 320 (V)
  • Display Size: 22.70 × 42.72mm
  • Pixel Size: 0.1335 × 0.1335 mm
  • Module Size: 27.3 × 51.2mm

LCD And Controller

The built-in controller of the 1.9-inch LCD Module is ST7789V2, which is the LCD controller with 240 x RGB x 320, and the resolution of the LCD is 170 (H) RGB × 320 (V). Moreover, the internal RAM of the LCD is not fully used as it can be initialized as a portrait and horizontal screen.
This LCD supports the input RGB format of 12 bits, 16 bits, and 18 bits, that is, RGB444, RGB565, and RGB666. The demo used here is RGB565, which is the RGB format we generally used.
As the LCD adopts 4-wire SPI, it is not only faster in communication, but also impressively saves more GPIO headers.

Communication Protocol


Note: the difference with the traditional SPI protocol is the data pin from the slave device to the host device is hidden as it only needs to display. Please refer to the Datasheet Page 66.
RESX is reset, pulled low when the module is powered on, and is usually set to 1.
CSX is the slave device chip selection, low active.
D/CX is the data/command control pin of the chip. Write command when DC=0, write data when DC=1.
SDA is the transmitted data, that is, RGB data.
SCL is the SPI communication clock.
For SPI communication, data is transmitted in sequence, that is, the combination of CPHA (Clock Phase) and CPOL (Clock Polarity).
CPHA controls whether the data is collected on the 1st or 2nd edge of SCLK. When CPHA = 0, the data is acquired at the 1st edge of SCLK.
CPOL controls the idle state value of the clock. When CPOL = 0, it is at a low level.
From the above figure, you can see that it starts to transfer the data at the 1st edge of the SCLK. 8-bit data is transferred in one clock cycle, and with SPI0, the data is transmitted from high to low in bits.

Raspberry Pi

Please connect the LCD to your Raspberry Pi by the 8PIN cable according to the table below.
Use the pin header or PH2.0 8PIN interface, you need to connect according to the following table:

Connect to Raspberry Pi
LCDRaspberry Pi

VCC3.3V3.3V
GNDGNDGND
DINMOSI19
CLKSCLK23
CSCE024
DS2522
RST2713
BL1812

The 1.9inch LCD uses the PH2.0 8PIN interface, which can be connected to the Raspberry Pi according to the above table: (Please connect according to the pin definition table. The color of the wiring in the picture is for reference only, and the actual color shall prevail.)

  • Open the terminal, and use the following command to enter the configuration page
sudo raspi-config
Choose Interfacing Options -> SPI -> Yes  to enable the SPI interface


Reboot Raspberry Pi:

sudo reboot
  • Check /boot/config.txt, and you can see 'dtparam=spi=on' is written.


  • In order to make sure SPI is not occupied, it is recommended to temporarily close other driver coverage. You can use "ls /dev/spi*" to check whether SPI is occupied. If the terminal outputs "/dev/spidev0.0" and " /dev/spidev0.1", it means SPI is in normal condition.

FBCP Porting

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

sudo apt-get install cmake -y
cd ~
wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/1/18/Waveshare_fbcp.zip
unzip Waveshare_fbcp.zip
cd Waveshare_fbcp/
sudo chmod +x ./shell/*

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.

#0.96inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-0inch96
#1.14inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch14
#1.3inch LCD Module

#1.8inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-1inch8
#2inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-2inch
#2.4inch LCD Module
sudo ./shell/waveshare-2inch4

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 in fbcp.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Just block the statement corresponding to the picture below:

Reboot:

sudo reboot

Compile and run

mkdir build
cd build
cmake [options] ..
sudo make -j
sudo ./fbcp

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

#0.96inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_0INCH96_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..
#1.14inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_1INCH14_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..
#1.3inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_1INCH3_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..
#1.54inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_1INCH54_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..
#1.8inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_1INCH8_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..
#2inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_2INCH_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..
#2.4inch LCD Module
sudo cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_2INCH4_LCD=ON -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..

Set up to start automatically

sudo cp ~/Waveshare_fbcp/build/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.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_cvt=[options]
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
display_rotate=0

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

#2.4inchinch LCD Module & 2inchinch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=640 480 60 1 0 0 0

#1.8inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=400 300 60 1 0 0 0

#1.3inch LCD Module & 1.54inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=300 300 60 1 0 0 0

#1.14inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=300 170 60 1 0 0 0

#0.96inch LCD Module
hdmi_cvt=300 150 60 1 0 0 0

And then reboot the system

sudo reboot

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

  • As we use 1.9inch LCD Module, we need to open LCD_1inch9 file folder and run LCD_1inch9.ino file folder.


  • Open the demo and choose the development board model as Arduino UNO.


  • Choose the corresponding COM port.


  • And then click compile and download.


Demo Description

File Introduction

Take Arduino UNO controlling 1.54inch LCD as the example, open Arduino\LCD_1inch54 directory.

Among:
LCD_1inch54.ino: Open it with Arduino IDE;
LCD_Driver.cpp(.h): It is the driver of the LCD screen;
DEV_Config.cpp(.h): It is the hardware interface definition, which encapsulates the reading and writing pin level, SPI transmission data, and pin initialization;
font8.cpp, font12.cpp, font16.cpp, font20.cpp, font24.cpp, font24CN.cpp, fonts.h: fonts for characters of different sizes; image.cpp(.h): It is image data, which can convert any BMP image into a 16-bit true-color image array through Img2Lcd (downloadable in the development materials).
The program is divided into the underlying hardware interface, the middle layer LCD driver, and the upper layer application; Low-level hardware interface.

Underlying hardware interface

The hardware interface is defined in the two files DEV_Config.cpp (.h), and functions such as reading and writing pin levels, delays, and SPI transmission are encapsulated.

  • Write pin level
void DEV_Digital_Write(int pin, int value)

The first parameter is the pin, and the second is the high and low level.

  • Write pin level
int DEV_Digital_Read(int pin)

The parameter is the pin, and the return value is the level of the read pin.

  • Delay
DEV_Delay_ms(unsigned int delaytime)

Millisecond level delay.

  • SPI output data
DEV_SPI_WRITE(unsigned char data)

The parameter is char type, occupying 8 bits.

Upper Application

For LCDs, it is the upper application that draws pictures, displays Chines/English characters, displays pictures, etc. Many friends have asked about some graphics processing. We provide some basic functions GUI_Paint.c(.h) here.
Note: GUI is directly written in the LCD RAM due to the RAM limits of the STM32 and Arduino.

The fonts used by the GUI all depend on the font*.cpp(h) file under the same file.
