Configuration

Configure library settings by LCD_Config() with pico_st7735_80x160_config_t

pico_st7735_80x160_config_t lcd_cfg = {
    SPI_CLK_FREQ_DEFAULT,
    spi1,
    PIN_LCD_SPI1_CS_DEFAULT,
    PIN_LCD_SPI1_SCK_DEFAULT,
    PIN_LCD_SPI1_MOSI_DEFAULT,
    PIN_LCD_DC_DEFAULT,
    PIN_LCD_RST_DEFAULT,
    PIN_LCD_BLK_DEFAULT,
    INVERSION_DEFAULT,  // 0: non-color-inversion, 1: color-inversion
    RGB_ORDER_DEFAULT,  // 0: RGB, 1: BGR
    ROTATION_DEFAULT,
    H_OFS_DEFAULT,
    V_OFS_DEFAULT,
    X_MIRROR_DEFAULT
};
LCD_Config(&lcd_cfg);

Backlight Control from Serial Terminal

When scrolling text display appears at demo final, program accepts Serial Terminal control.

'+' to increase backlight level
'-' to decrease backlight level
'r' to repeat demo

Application Example
