Arduino ST7789 Display Tutorial

In this Arduino Tutorial, we are going to learn how to use the 1.3" ST7789 display.

Want to learn to program?

I hope you took away lots from this video and you managed to get your display to work. Let me know below!

PS. WANT TO LEARN CODING? CHECK MY NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL!

One of my fave channels. Could listen to your accent all day. Love the content and presentation. Please continue the great work

As a long time follower, I still think you make some of the best tutorials with all necessary details, but still a strait to it approach. Big thank you for keeping up the good work.

I used my ST7789 display with an ESP32 and a DHT22 sensor. That gives me the temperature in Celcius or Fahrenheit plus humidity. Since the ESP32 is a 3.3 volt device there is little chance of damaging the display and with proper coding can have the information available over WIFI. Now I can monitor the temperature and humidity outdoors without leaving my desk.

Welcome back Nikola, great to see a new video.

Nice!! Hey doode welcome back we missed your videos :-)
It's been a long time since I played with my Arduino I got to get back into it. My whole work bench is so disorganized, hehe!

I also recommend this display. I made my own breakoutboard, as the displays without breakout are even cheaper. There is also a 240x300 version, but I have not tried it yet.

Very simple product that can be very useful for a lot of everyday temperature reading projects. For expect temperature inside a computer case.

It is not true that this display is fast - actually it is slow because of very high resolution :) Reasonable speed is possible thanks to high optimization (low level) for AVR chips and on 16MHz Arduino allows to transfer data via SPI at almost 7MB/s. Much better display for AVR, in my opinion, is 1.8" ST7735, which has lower resolution 128x160 pixels (20480 pixels instead of 57600 = almost 3x faster), its size is little bigger and has builtin SD card slot. Using cheap STM32 boards ($1.4-1.5) instead of more expensive Arduino Nano or Pro Mini it is possible to play realtime videos directly from SD.

I am using this display for a time now and i am very satisfied with it. I am using mostly for Esp8266/32.

he's back and the video is related to one of these displays i have laying around, awsome btw i got mine for 2.5bucks on ali in 2019

[musaadejoshuaibuopaluwa]

I have been missing your videos all along.
Thank you for this

[patrickruiz]

hi you noticed since introduction of LVGL esphome 8.0 I lost lcd display on atom s3 these are the same ST7789 driver thank you for your response!

[martinmacko]

Hi, can you recommend some tutorial to understand how display works with arduino? SO I can try to display some random simple stuff? Many thanks!

[normamarquez]

do I need to put a voltage divider on the "SPI" pins?

[king_wing]

VERY good video!!!im going to build something that uses that screen, i was looking for a youtube video that would show me how to use one, and i found this video, thanks :)

[oladunk]

Thanks for a very useful video. I see you are driving the display with 3.3 volts but the signal pins from the Arduino are still 5 Volts ? Would it be safer to use a voltage divider on the signal pins ?

[blazehunter]

Can you please make a tutorial how to program a display to show whatever we want from a Raspberry Pi Zero (I can send a link of the 0.96' screen I have)

[nirtzezana]

Finally! Please upload more!
Your stuff are amazing

[FantaBH]

wondering just one thing, you said be careful with to not connect display 5 volts, ok with voltage input for display to go to 3v3 pin, however what is with all other display pins which goes to Arduino digital pins, as I know digital pins also delivery 5 volts out?
