Adafruit 240x240px 1.5” TFT Display - Python Driver - Raspberry PI - ST7789

This library was created by modifying a similar library for the ILI9341 chip, such that it works with the new ST7789 based display.

This library was not actually released by Adafruit - it's just heavily based on one, or actually two.

See below for clear & easy instalation instructions.

Install includes easy to use examples.

Python library to control an ST7789 TFT LCD display. Allows simple drawing on the display without installing a kernel module.

Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit 1.54" 240x240 LCD's ----> https://www.adafruit.com/product/3787
