Pico Display Pack

Beskrivelse

En ny LCD-skærm specielt til Pico Display Pack – det er en dejlig, lys 18-bit-kompatibel 240×135 pixel IPS-skærm og passer perfekt til Pico. Den er omgivet med fire taktile knapper, så du nemt kan interface din Pico med dine menneskelige fingre og en RGB LED, som du kan bruge som en indikator, til underretninger eller bare for at tilføje ekstra regnbuer.

Pico Display giver dig mulighed for at gøre en Pico til en kompakt brugergrænsefladenhed til et større projekt, der er i stand til at give instruktioner, vise aflæsninger og endda inkorporere detaljerede indlejrede menuer. Hvis du hellere vil bruge din Pico som en enkeltstående enhed, kan du lave et lille roterende lysbilledshow med billeder, vise smukke grafer fra sensordata eller oprette dit eget Tamagotchi- eller matchbox-størrelse tekst-eventyrspil.

Getting started

The labels on the underside of Pico Display will show you which way round to plug it into your Pico – just match up the USB port with the markings on the board.

The easiest way to get started with our Pico add-ons is by downloading and copying our custom MicroPython firmware to your Pico, it includes all the libraries you’ll need. Click here for our beginner friendly tutorial!

Pinout

Pico Display Pack communicate with the LCD display via SPI on pins LCD_CS, LCD_DC, LCD_SCLK, and LCD_MOSI. We also PWM the BL_EN pin (with gamma correction) for full, linear, backlight control. LCD_RESET is tied to the RUN pin on Pico so the LCD will be fully reset whenever Pico is.

The four switches are wired up as SW_A, SW_B, SW_X, and SW_Y.

There is also an onboard RGB LED (ideal to use an activity indicator!) which is also PWMed (with gamma correction) on pins LED_R, LED_G, and LED_B. If you want to use the LED pins for something else there are three cuttable traces on the underside of the board.

Power is supplied through 3V3 meaning that you can use Pico Scroll Pack both on USB power and from external supplies (from 1.8V to 5.5V) making it ideal for battery powered projects.
