Hi, to both of you, after my last post here I’ve spent some time looking around for information on Display_2 320x240 but also with anything that helps me learn the full extent of the MicroPython language.
Information on Display_2 is hard to find and it is not always something that is immediately useful. Looking around on this forum I found another post (Tutorials) regarding tutorials that appears redundant and replied just asking for a list of keywords as it is, for the people who need to produce it, the least effort for the most benefit.
What I’ve found;
Raspberry Pi have a very active Pico/PicoW forum and very good documentation on their product and on the RPi MicroPython they use. But very little on the Display_2 or the other products that rely on the display driver ST77889.
MicroPython have a very active forum (I subscribed and had very nearly 300 emails of posts in 3 days) Most of which went over my head as in not a programmer in C/C++ or Python yet!
MicroPython also have their own WiKi giving a list of Keywords and working through them plus a list of features supported for specific boards, the Pico information being available here ( rp2 — functionality specific to the RP2040 — MicroPython latest documentation)
Standard MicroPython library’s - MicroPython libraries — MicroPython latest documentation
More modules from the Python standard library, as well as further MicroPython extensions to it, can be found here - Glossary — MicroPython latest documentation
Adafruit did/got the original work done on producing a driver for the Display_ 2 (320x240 pixels) by Tony DiCola and had it modified to work with the ST7735 by Clement Skau. Pimoroni have done work on updating the ST7789 driver to version 0.0.4 by a hard-fork from “ST7735-Python” which was modified to include support for their 160x80 SPI LCD breakout (https://travis-ci.com/pimoroni/st7789-python.svg?branch=master) Full text can be seen in the ReadMe.txt file of the library folder in the ST7789-Python-Master.zip file found here - GitHub - pimoroni/st7789-python: Python library to control an ST7789 240x240 1.3" TFT LCD display.
