ILI9xxx TFT LCD Series ====================== .. seo:: :description: Instructions for setting up ILI9xxx like TFT LCD display drivers. :image: ili9341.jpg .. _ili9xxx: Models ------ With this display driver you can control the following displays: - ILI9341 - ILI9342 - ILI9481 - ILI9481-18 (ILI9481 in 18 bit, i.e. 262K color, mode) - ILI9486 - ILI9488 - ILI9488_A (alternative gamma configuration for ILI9488) - M5STACK - S3BOX - S3BOX_LITE - ST7796 - ST7789V - TFT 2.4 - TFT 2.4R - WAVESHARE_RES_3_5 (Waveshare Pico-ResTouch-LCD-3.5) More display drivers will come in the future. Usage ----- This component is the successor of the ILI9341 component supporting more display driver chips from the ILI and related families. The ``ILI9xxx`` display platform allows you to use ILI9341 (`datasheet `__, `Aliexpress `__) and other displays from the same chip family with ESPHome. As this is a somewhat higher resolution display and requires additional pins beyond the basic SPI connections, and a reasonable amount of RAM, it is not well suited for the ESP8266. **Note:** use of 16 bit colors requires double the amount of RAM as 8 bit, and may need PSRAM to be available. .. figure:: images/ili9341-full.jpg :align: center :width: 75.0% ILI9341 display .. code-block:: yaml # Example minimal configuration entry display: - platform: ili9xxx model: ili9341 dc_pin: 27 reset_pin: 33 lambda: |- it.fill(COLOR_BLACK); it.print(0, 0, id(my_font), id(my_red), TextAlign::TOP_LEFT, "Hello World!"); Configuration variables: ************************ - **model** (**Required**): The model of the display. Options are: - ``M5STACK``, ``TFT 2.4``, ``TFT 2.4R``, ``S3BOX``, ``S3BOX_LITE``, ``WSPICOLCD`` - ``ILI9341``, ``ILI9342``, ``ILI9486``, ``ILI9488``, ``ILI9488_A`` (alternative gamma configuration for ILI9488) - ``ILI9481``, ``ILI9481-18`` (18 bit mode) - ``ST7789V``, ``ST7796`` - **dc_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema `): The DC pin. - **reset_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema `): The RESET pin. - **lambda** (*Optional*, :ref:`lambda `): The lambda to use for rendering the content on the display. See :ref:`display-engine` for more information. - **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to re-draw the screen. Defaults to ``5s``. - **auto_clear_enabled** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to automatically clear the display in each loop (''true'', default), or to keep the existing display content (must overwrite explicitly, e.g., only on data change). - **pages** (*Optional*, list): Show pages instead of a single lambda. See :ref:`display-pages`. - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. - **color_palette** (*Optional*): The type of color pallet that will be used in the ESP's internal 8-bits-per-pixel buffer. This can be used to improve color depth quality of the image. For example if you know that the display will only be showing grayscale images, the clarity of the display can be improved by targeting the available colors to monochrome only. Options are: - ``NONE`` (default) - ``GRAYSCALE`` - ``IMAGE_ADAPTIVE`` - **color_order** (*Optional*): Should be one of ``bgr`` (default) or ``rgb``. - **color_palette_images** (*Optional*): A list of image files that will be used to generate the color pallet for the display. This should only be used in conjunction with ``-color_palette: IMAGE_ADAPTIVE`` above. The images will be analysed at compile time and a custom color pallet will be created based on the most commonly occuring colors. A typical setting would be a sample image that represented the fully populated display. This can significantly improve the quality of displayed images. Note that these images are not stored on the ESP device, just the 256byte color pallet created from them. - **dimensions** (*Optional*): Dimensions of the screen, specified either as *width* **x** *height* (e.g ``320x240``) or with separate config keys. If not provided the dimensions will be determined by the model selected. - **height** (**Required**, int): Specifies height of display in pixels. - **width** (**Required**, int): Specifies width of display. - **offset_width** (*Optional*, int): Specify an offset for the x-direction of the display, typically used when an LCD is smaller than the maximum supported by the driver chip. Default is 0 - **offset_height** (*Optional*, int): Specify an offset for the y-direction of the display. Default is 0. - **data_rate** (*Optional*): Set the data rate of the SPI interface to the display. One of ``80MHz``, ``40MHz`` (default), ``20MHz``, ``10MHz``, ``5MHz``, ``2MHz``, ``1MHz``, ``200kHz``, ``75kHz`` or ``1kHz``. If you have multiple ILI9xxx displays they must all use the same **data_rate**. - **spi_mode** (*Optional*): Set the mode for the SPI interface to the display. Default is ``MODE0`` but some displays require ``MODE3``. - **invert_colors** (*Optional*): With this boolean option you can invert the display colors. **Note** some of the displays have this option set automatically to true and can't be changed. - **18bit_mode** (*Optional*): With this boolean option you can manual enable or disable the 18 bit color mode. - **rotation** (*Optional*): Rotate the display presentation in software. Choose one of ``0°``, ``90°``, ``180°``, or ``270°``. This option cannot be used with ``transform``. - **transform** (*Optional*): Transform the display presentation using hardware. All defaults are ``false``. This option cannot be used with ``rotation``. - **swap_xy** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, exchange the x and y axes. - **mirror_x** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, mirror the x axis. - **mirror_y** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, mirror the y axis. **Note:** To rotate the display in hardware use one of the following combinations: - 90 degrees - use ``swap_xy`` with ``mirror_x`` - 180 degrees - use ``mirror_x`` with ``mirror_y`` - 270 degrees - use ``swap_xy`` with ``mirror_y`` Configuration examples ********************** To utilize the color capabilities of this display module, you'll likely want to add a ``color:`` section to your YAML configuration; please see :ref:`color ` for more detail on this configuration section. To use colors in your lambda: .. code-block:: yaml color: - id: my_red red: 100% green: 3% blue: 5% ... display: ... lambda: |- it.rectangle(0, 0, it.get_width(), it.get_height(), id(my_red)); To bring in color images: .. code-block:: yaml image: - file: "image.jpg" id: my_image resize: 200x200 type: RGB24 ... display: ... lambda: |- it.image(0, 0, id(my_image)); To configure a dimmable backlight: .. code-block:: yaml # Define a PWM output on the ESP32 output: - platform: ledc pin: 32 id: gpio_32_backlight_pwm # Define a monochromatic, dimmable light for the backlight light: - platform: monochromatic output: gpio_32_backlight_pwm name: "Display Backlight" id: back_light restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON To configure an image adaptive color pallet to show greater than 8 bit color depth with a RAM limited screen buffer: .. code-block:: yaml image: - file: "sample_100x100.png" id: myimage resize: 100x100 type: RGB24 display: - platform: ili9xxx model: ili9341 dc_pin: 4 reset_pin: 22 rotation: 90 id: tft_ha color_palette: IMAGE_ADAPTIVE color_palette_images: - "sample_100x100.png" - "display_design.png" lambda: |- it.image(0, 0, id(myimage)); Using the ``transform`` options to hardware rotate the display on a Lilygo T-Embed. This has an st7789v but only uses 170 pixels of the 240 width. This config rotates the display into landscape mode using the driver chip. .. code-block:: yaml display: - platform: ili9xxx model: st7789v dimensions: height: 170 width: 320 offset_height: 35 offset_width: 0 transform: swap_xy: true mirror_x: false mirror_y: true color_order: bgr data_rate: 80MHz cs_pin: 10 dc_pin: GPIO13 reset_pin: GPIO9 For Lilygo TTGO Boards if you move from the st7789v to this you need the following settings to make it work. .. code-block:: yaml display: - platform: ili9xxx model: st7789v #TTGO TDisplay 135x240 dimensions: height: 240 width: 135 offset_height: 40 offset_width: 52 # Required or the colors are all inverted, and Black screen is White invert_colors: true See Also -------- - :doc:`index` - :apiref:`ili9xxx/ili9xxx_display.h` - :ghedit:`Edit`
