Specs

display module

  • Screen size: 135 x 240 (14.86 x 24.91 mm)
  • Module size: 30.40 x 28 (mm)
  • Colors: 65K
  • Protocol: SPI
  • IC: ST7789V datasheet
  • VCC: 3.3V
  • store link
  • OLED ?

Connection

Important

  • For Arduino boards do NOT forget resistors to make voltage dividers. Connecting to 3.3V pin is not enough to save the display from 5V.
  • Do not skip the Reset pin (-1 doesn't mean that it is not connected)

In order to avoid level shifting (voltage dividers) use 3.3V boards. Here are some options

Wemos D1 R1

  • GND -> GND obviously
  • VCC -> 3.3V
  • SCL -> D5 / SCK (clock)
  • SDA -> D7 / MOSI (data out)
  • RES -> D0 (reset, any port is good)
  • DC -> D3 (?, any port is good)
  • CS -> D4 (child select, any port is good)
  • BLK - not connected

Test code

Based on ST7789 class I added ST7789V
