pico lcd display price

We"ve sourced a new LCD screen especially for our Pico Display Pack - it"s a lovely, bright 18-bit capable 240x135 pixel IPS display and fits the Pico perfectly. We"ve surrounded it with four tactile buttons so you can easily interface your Pico with your human fingers and an RGB LED that you can use as an indicator, for notifications or just for adding extra rainbows.

Pico Display lets you turn a Pico into a compact user interface device for a bigger project, capable of giving instructions, displaying readouts and even incorporating elaborate nested menus. If you"d rather use your Pico as a standalone device you could make a little rotating slideshow of images, display beautiful graphs from sensor data or build your own Tamagotchi or matchbox sized text adventure game.

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 is by downloading and copying our custom MicroPython uf2 to your Pico, it includes all the libraries you"ll need to use our add-ons. The beginner friendly tutorial linked below will show you how to get to grips with pirate-brand MicroPython.

Pico Display also works very nicely with CircuitPython and Adafruit"s DisplayIO library - look for the Display Pack ST7789 example in the library bundle to get started!

Pico Display Pack communicates 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.

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

Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low cost microcontroller development board from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It"s easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for using in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - we"re so excited to see what you make with it!

We"ve called our Pico-sized add-ons packs, as they"re designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish back pack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). We"ve also got Pico bases (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once - click here to view them all!

With the included Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython demos, getting started with this screen is quick and easy. There"s also no soldering required with this LCD display - just slot your Pico into the female headers on the rear and you"re good to go!

This display uses an embedded ST7735S driver, which uses the SPI bus to communicate with your Pico (leaving the majority of your Pico pins free for other things!).

This 2.8" IPS resistive touchscreen display has been designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Pico and offers a 320x240 resolution with 262K colours and dedicated microSD storage!

The display has dedicated female headers for the Raspberry Pi Pico on the rear, removing any need for connecting wires or ribbon cables. Just slot your Pico in (male headers required) and start coding the display. The MicroSD card slot also allows you to store images for your project too.

The backlight is programmable to assist with the right brightness setting for your environment as well as reducing power consumption. There"s also a handy Pico reset button on the rear of the display.

Microcontroller boards based on the RP2040 chipset, the same SoC that powers the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico(opens in new tab)are becoming very popular among makers. Newer boards are popping up with extra features appearing on them, such as this 1.14 inch color display, the $10 LILYGO T-Display spotted by CNX Software(opens in new tab).

It"s not the first(opens in new tab) such board, of course, with the Arducam Pico4ML(opens in new tab) pulling a similar trick - and with a resolution of 240×135 pixels it’s hardly HD - but it comes in at just under $10 with the RP2040 board attached. Along with the ST7789V SPI controller needed to run the screen, you get all the usual Pico accoutrements such as the dual-core Cortex M0+ processor, 2 x UART , 2 x SPI and 2 x I2C connections, along with a generous 4MB of flash storage. Power and data connectivity is via USB-C, a good choice of connector as it is now becoming the norm on maker boards. Where the LILYGO T-Display falls short is the GPIO. The board looks to be wider and a different pin layout to the traditional Raspberry Pi Pico, so creative hacking is required to connect accessories designed for the Pico.

There’s also support for powering the board, and its screen, with a battery thanks to a two-pin 1.25mm pitch JST connector - you get a connector cable in the package along with an expansion header. The board is programmable through MicroPython and C like any other Pico(opens in new tab), and CNX speculates that Arduino support could be coming soon, thanks to the existence of an Arduino-liking ESP32 board(opens in new tab) by the same manufacturer with the same display. Right now CircuitPython support is unknown, but it won"t be long until a member of the community ports CircuitPython to this board.
