Using Displays in Raspberry Pi Projects

This book is about Raspberry Pi 4 display projects. The book starts by explaining how to install the latest Raspbian operating system on an SD card, and how to configure and use the GPIO ports.

The core of the book explains the following topics in simple terms with fully tested and working example projects:

• Simple LED projects
• Bar graph LED projects
• Matrix LED projects
• Bitmap LED projects
• LED strips
• LCDs
• OLED displays
• E-paper displays
• TFT displays
• 7-inch touch screen
• GUI Programming with Tkinder

One unique feature of this book is that it covers almost all types of display that readers will need to use in their Raspberry Pi based projects. The operation of each project is fully given, including block diagrams, circuit diagrams, and commented full program listings. It is therefore an easy task to convert the given projects to run on other popular platforms, such as Arduino or PIC microcontrollers.

Python program listings of all Raspberry Pi projects developed in this book are available for download at Elektor.com. Readers can use these programs in their projects. Alternatively, they can modify the programs to suit their applications.
