0.96" LCD Display Shield

by Unexpected Maker

A 160x80 LCD Colour LCD display shield for TinyPICO, TinyS2, TinyS3 and TinyC6.

This shield has a gorgeous colour IPS LCD display, with a massive 160x80 pixels in a 0.96” form factor. It uses the ST7735 driver, so there is a lot of library support available for all of the embedded languages and platforms.

The screen is powered from the 3V3 pin on the headers, so you can use this shield in battery powered project, or via 5V.

The LED backlight is controlled via PWM via the [LED] header pin shown in the pinout diagram above, and the SPI CS pin can be changed on the back via cutting and soldering some jumpers.

Larry has also ported his GIF player for the TinyPICO + LCD Shield - Animated GIFs in your projects, how wicked!

NOTE: The shield ships with the screen soldered to the PCB, but not stuck to the front, so you can solder the header pins on first, and then stick the screen own with the double sided tape provided on the back of the screen. Please be careful not to dislodge the screen :)
