Adafruit-style library for ST7796S SPI displays

Adafruit-style Arduino library for ST7796S SPI displays.

This inherits from Adafruit_GFX and Adafruit_SPITFT libraries. It should behave exactly like Adafruit's own Adafruit_ILI9341 but for 320x480 ST7796S SPI displays.

Adafruit_ST7796S_kbv inherits all the methods from
the Adafruit_GFX class: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-gfx-graphics-library/overview
and Print class: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Serial/Print

Note that the popular Chinese Red SPI displays require 3.3V logic signals.

5V Uno, Mega, Nano, Leo, ... MUST use level-shifters for CS, RESET, DC, SDI, SCK, LED.
3V Zero, Due, STM32, ... can connect directly.

Most Red pcbs contain an AMS1117-3.3 regulator.
None have a pullup resistor on LCD_RESET pin.
Some have a transistor switch on LED pin. You can switch backlight LED on or off with a GPIO pin (or PWM).
The new Red ST7796S boards have an AMS1117-3.3 regulator and an LED transistor.

Connect VCC = 5V if there is a regulator. Use VCC = 3.3V if there is no regulator.
Connect LED to a GPIO if there is a transistor (or 5V with a 1k0 series resistor).
Otherwise connect LED to 5V with a 39R series resistor.

You MUST use the RST argument in both Software and Hardware constructors.
Note that many Adafruit examples omit the RST argument (because Adafruit pcbs have a RST pullup resistor)

To download. click the DOWNLOADS button in the top right corner, rename the uncompressed folder Adafruit_ST7796S_kbv. Check that the Adafruit_ST7796S_kbv folder contains Adafruit_ST7796S_kbv.cpp and Adafruit_ST7796S_kbv.

Place the Adafruit_ST7796S_kbv library folder your arduinosketchfolder/libraries/ folder. You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE

Also requires the Adafruit_GFX library for Arduino.

adafruit_st7796s_kbv's Issues

The library isn't working !

I got several errors.

STM32F1 series

Hi there

Would it be possible for you to make it work with STM32F1 series? (BluePill)
As this is a 3 volt chip, so it could be used without any 5 to 3 volt converter.
Thanks in advance.
