First Project on Raspberry pi pico w with 1.3" IPS LCD Display
March 20, 2024, 13:30
Hello i downloaded a demo code from the instructions about the LCD display:
It works when i press the A button on the Display that it is printing a but the display is always black? Maybe someone could help me :)
thanks
is it a gpio display?
what is s gpio display 😅
a display that works through the gpio of your raspberry pi
honestly i have no clue i will search a bit in the internet
could you share a pic?
of the display?
yes
sure
thats the one i got
then yes it is
okay
and could you link then? I think it would maybe need some drivers not just a python script
oh okay yea i just took the script from the tutorial and got the buttons working but not more
try a update whilst I'm reading
sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo reboot now
do i need to execute this on the raspberry?
yes
so in Thonny i should open a shell on the raspberry and do those commands?
open up a terminal
the >_ or similar icon
grey in the top bar
Yes
i think that is the wrong terminal i got
that's within thonny
omg I'm so sorry
you said Pico. I'm wrong sorry
oh yea
that why i was wondering i never found out how to open an actual terminal on that
yeah Pico's don't have a full os
the reason its not working then is probably because your using micro python
I don't know how to fix then
you have to wait till one of the mods with more knowledge sees this
okay all good
thatks for trying to help me :) appreciate it
