# Python ST7789 for OrangePi

Python library to control ST7789 TFT LCD displays on the Orange Pi.

Designed to work with the following ST7789 based SPI breakouts and Orange Pi Extension:

- [Orange PI Hi-Fi Hat
](https://sonocotta.com/orange-pi-hi-fi-hat/)

# Installation

First, make sure you have the following dependencies:

````bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-spidev python3-pip python3-pil python3-numpy
````

Install this library by running:

````bash
sudo pip3 install OrangePi.ST7789
````

You will also need to make sure I2C and SPI are enabled in raspi-config (`sudo raspi-config`) - you can find them under Interface Options. 

# Examples

You can find some examples of use in the examples folder. Clone this repo with:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/sonocotta/st7789-orangepi-python
```

and navigate into the examples folder with:

```bash
cd ~/st7789-orangepi-python/library/examples/
```

You can pass most of them a parameter (`square`, `rect`, `round`, or `dhmini`) to specify the size/shape/rotation of screen, like this:

```bash
python3 shapes.py dhmini
```

# 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 `OPi.GPIO` and `spidev` to closely align with our other software (IE: Orange Pi only)
* Test fixtures have been added to keep this library stable

Pimoroni invests time and resources forking and modifying this open source code, please support Pimoroni and open-source software by purchasing products from us, too!

Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing products from Adafruit!
