attiny85 lcd display manufacturer
Using an LCD on a small chip like an attiny85 is not really that hard and till recent I didnt even think it warranted an instructable, but I have received questions about it, so I may as well expand on the process.
With the attiny only having a max of 6 pins available, it goes without saying that it cannot directly control all the pins of the standard Hitachi based LCD"s
A little bit over a year ago, I described how to add an LCD to an Attiny or other chip, using only 2 pins. That circuit made use of an HC164 shift register, but as I2C modules for LCD"s are extremely cheap and even LCD"s with a module already in place also are dirt cheap, one might as well use I2C on the Attiny85.
I2CThe attiny85 can simulate I2C on PB2 (pin 7) (SCL) and PB0 (pin 5) (SDA). The "Wire" library that is used to read and write bytes from and to the I2C port on the arduino doesnt work on the attiny. It needs the TinyWireM library to act as an I2C master
The "NewLCD" library from Francisco Malpartida is my favorite library, but also that one fails in using I2C for the Attiny because it makes a call to the Wire library. A modification to make it work with Attiny85 can be found here.
The "Bro Hogan" library however does work. It is basically the same library as the standard arduino LCD library, but it is modified to recognize the Attiny85 and the Attiny2313 and then makes a call to "TinyWireM" rather than "Wire".
Adafruit also provides a libray that works with the Attiny85 and that is described in another instructable. I will be using the Bro Hogan library here.
Most problems you may encounter are related to the IDE getting confused regarding the libraries. If you are using the standard Arduino LCD library, best replace it by the Bro Hogan library. If you are using Malpartida"s library and want to keep that (as it is a great library), move it out of the way. Grab the entire folder and move it out of your sketchbook/libraries folder. Make sure you have the TinyWireM library installed and make sure your libraries are up to date.
Now obviously there is no bootloader for the attiny85, but the process of burning the bootloader sets the fuses of the attiny from factory mode, to the mode you want to use it in. So, presuming you use the Arduino as ISP,:
This is a compact graphics library that supports a range of different colour TFT displays, such as the displays from Adafruit and AliExpress. It uses standard Arduino SPI calls making it compatible with a variety of different boards and processors:
In my earlier article Tiny TFT Graphics Library I described a small graphics library designed for driving a variety of TFT displays from an ATtiny85. This library is an extension of that program, with the following enhancements:
* These Adafruit displays conveniently all have the same edge-connector layout, so you can make a prototyping board or PCB that will take any of them.
Some of the AliExpress displays include a LDO 3.3V regulator, but as far as I can tell none of them include logic-level translation, so I recommend only interfacing them to a processor running from 3.3V.
The Adafruit displays all include an LDO 3.3V regulator and logic-level translation, so can be safely interfaced to processors powered from either 5V or 3.3V.
On the AliExpress 160x128 display you need to connect the backlight pin to Vcc to turn it on. This doesn"t seem to be necessary with the other displays.
The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same ST7735 or ST7789 driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.
Two of these, Data In and Clock, are dictated by the SPI interface on the processor you are using. They are usually called MOSI and SCK on the pinout diagram, and they connect to the appropriate two pins on the display.
This graphics library will work with ATtiny processors that support SPI using the hardware USI peripheral, such as the ATtiny85, ATtiny84, and ATtiny4313, but note that on these devices the MOSI pin is labelled DO.
The library includes basic graphics routines for plotting points and drawing lines. These work on a conventional coordinate system with the origin at lower left. For example, on the 80x160 display:
The different displays are catered for by six constants which specify the size of the display, the offsets relative to the area supported by the display driver, whether the display is inverted, and the rotation value; for example:
Note that on some displays you may also have to change the xoff or yoff value when rotating the display. For example, to rotate the image on the 240x240 displays by 180° use the settings:
To check or adjust the values for each display I ran this program, which draws a one-pixel border around the display area, and plots an "F" to show the orientation:
This is a small graphics library, specifically aimed at ATtiny microcontrollers, for the variety of small colour TFT displays available at low cost from suppliers like Adafruit, AliExpress, or Banggood:
It"s an updated version of my Tiny TFT Graphics Library. This latest version of the library supports both the classic ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny85, and the new 0-series, 1-series, and 2-series ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny402. Like the original library it allows you to plot points, draw lines, draw filled rectangles, and plot characters and text with an optional scale factor, in 16-bit colour.
This version adds the ability to plot outline rectanges, and outline and filled circles. I"ve included demo curve-plotting and histogram-plotting programs that adjust to fit any display.
This library supports TFT displays that use an SPI interface and require four pins to drive the display. This leaves one pin free on an 8-pin chip such as the ATtiny85 or ATtiny402. If you need more pins choose a larger chip, such as the ATtiny84 or ATtiny404.
Unlike my Compact TFT Graphics Library which uses standard Arduino SPI calls, this library uses direct I/O pin manipulations. This means that you can use any assignment of pins to the four I/O lines needed by the display, and makes it about twice as fast as one using SPI calls. I"ve also added support for some additional displays, so it now supports 16 different TFT displays.
On the classic ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny85, the library uses the feature that you can toggle one or more bits in a port by writing to the PINB register; for example, to enable or disable the chip-select signal:
So provided you set all the pins to their disabled state at startup, the display routines can simply toggle the appropriate pins to enable or disable them.
The differences between each family of processors are handled by constants to define the pin assignments, and preprocessor macros to define the bit manipulations. If you use the circuits given below you won"t need to change anything, apart from specifying which display you"re using.
The ClearDisplay() routine has been optimised further by realising that we don"t need to keep setting the mosi bit, since to clear the display it is always zero, so the routine only needs to toggle the sck bit the appropriate number of times. I"m grateful to Thomas Scherer for suggesting this.
This library will work with displays based on the ST7735 which supports a maximum display size of 162x132, or the ST7789 and ILI9340/1 which support a maximum display size of 320x240. It includes parameters for the following colour TFT displays:
* These Adafruit displays conveniently all have the same edge-connector layout, so you can make a prototyping board or PCB that will take any of them, such as my Universal TFT Display Backpack.
Some of the AliExpress displays include a LDO 3.3V regulator, but not logic-level translation, so I recommend only interfacing them to a processor running from 3.3V.
The Adafruit displays all include an LDO 3.3V regulator and logic-level translation, so can be safely interfaced to processors powered from either 5V or 3.3V.
On the AliExpress red 160x128 display you need to connect the backlight pin to Vcc to turn it on. This doesn"t seem to be necessary with the other displays.
The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same ST7735, ST7789, ILI9340/1 driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.
The display needs to be connected to the microcontroller via four I/O lines: MOSI, SCK, CS, and DC. You can use any pins for these, but they should all be in the same port. You need to specify the port pin numbers of the pins you are using at the start of the Tiny TFT Graphics Library listing.
The 33kΩ pullup resistor from the display"s CS pin is optional; it is only needed on the AliExpress displays, and holds the chip select high to prevent the display from flickering while programming the ATtiny85.
The different displays are catered for by seven constants which specify the size of the display, the offsets relative to the area supported by the display driver, whether the display is inverted, the rotation value, and the order of the colours; for example:
By default the parameters give the correct orientation assuming you"re using the display with the header pins along the top, except in the case of the larger displays which have the header pins along the shorter edge, in which case the header pins are assumed to be on the left.
To check or adjust the values for each display you can run the TestChart() program, which draws a one-pixel border around the display area, and plots a red "F" to show the orientation:
The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.
The library includes basic graphics routines for plotting points and drawing lines. These work on a conventional coordinate system with the origin at lower left. For example, on the 80x160 display:
By default the ATtiny85 runs at 1MHz. Choose Burn Bootloader to set the fuses for 8MHz operation, or your graphics will run rather slowly, then upload the program using an ISP (in-system programming) programmer such as Sparkfun"s Tiny AVR Programmer Board
Small I2C OLED displays are common nowadays, and thanks to the work of helpful developers, there are also a variety of graphics libraries for using them. Most of them work by using a RAM buffer, which means that anything one wants to draw gets written to a buffer representing the screen, and the contents of that buffer are copied out to the display whenever it is updated. The drawback is that for some microcontrollers, there simply isn’t enough RAM for this approach to work. For example, a 128×64 monochrome OLED requires a 1024 byte buffer, but that’s bad news if a microcontroller has only 512 bytes of RAM in total like the ATtiny85. [David Johnson-Davies] has two solutions: a Tiny Graphics Library that needs no RAM buffer and an even slimmer Tiny Function Plotter, which we’ll discuss in order.
[David]’s Tiny Graphics Library works by taking advantage of a feature of SH1106 driver-based displays: the ability to read the display over I2C as well as write to it. With the ability to perform read-modify-write on a section at a time, using a large RAM buffer can be avoided. The only catch is that the library only works with OLEDs using the SH1106, but the good news is that these are very common at the usual Chinese resellers. ([David] notes that SH1106 is sometimes misspelled as “SSH1106”, so keep that in mind when searching.)
What about all those other SSD1306-based OLED displays out there? Are they out of luck? Not quite. [David] has one more trick up his sleeve: his Tiny Function Plotter works on the SSD1306 and also requires no RAM buffer. It’s unable to write text, but it can easily handle drawing graphs plotting things like values over time while needing very little overhead.
OLED, which is known as an Organic Light Emitting Diode is commonly utilized to create digital displays in electronic devices. Used in smartphones, handheld games, etc. So, in this tutorial, we are going to interface ” OLED (I2C) with ATtiny85 – Hello World Program”.
The 12C OLED display is a lightweight, super easy, and flexible device. It’s very compact and generates a brighter image. It’s easy to handle because it requires only two pins. Even it’s compact but still has a built-in Graphic display data of 1KB. They composed the memory of 8 pages. And, every page includes 128 columns in it. And, every column can effortlessly store 8 bits of information. Also, the OLED displays reflect better quality pictures. It has an enormous power efficiency and greater response time.
To interface OLED (I2C) with ATtiny85, follow the circuit diagram. Upload the above code ATtiny85. Give supply to the circuit and you will see the “hello world” and other strings (that were written in the code) on your OLED display. You can print some other strings and numbers by using the same code sketch.
Then it has set the cursor using the command OLED.cursorTo. Then to print the string “hello world” on the display, we give the command OLED.printString. Now to print another sting, we must have change the axis. So, we give OLED.cursorTo command again but with different axis to print “Attiny85” In the same vein, we have printed “circuits diy”, and “JLCPCB.om”.
In the void setup, initialize display to the specified address by using oled.init( ). After that, use commands oled.clear(), delay(1000) to clear the display and give 1s of delay. Then call splash.

Hello, I"m debating on what to do with my attiny85 temperature snesor project. Because it is on coin cell and it has a Oled screen should I put a Power switch to turn it all off to save power or put the attiny85 to sleep and have a transistor on the power of the oled screen and just tell the attiny85 to turn it on to take a reading? I know it takes time for any temperature sensor to catch up with the room temperature and take a reading then display it on screen.
