ST7789_Text_Example.ino

/*
  Text example for ST7789 TFT display with Adafruit's Adafruit_ST7789
  and GFX libraries.

  Shows how to use a canvas from the Adafruit_GFX library
  to update part of a display, avoiding the flicker of a full
  screen update

  This example reads the millis() and an analog sensor and displays both.
  It draws the labels in the setup() and updates the canvas with the
  actual values in the loop().
  Uses the following libraries:
  http://librarymanager/All#Adafruit_GFX
  http://librarymanager/All#Adafruit_ST7789
    and fonts from the GFX library.
   Circuit:
   - TFT display connected to SPI pins, and connected to
   the pins listed below.
   - Screen SDI <-> microcontroller SPI SDO
   - Screen SCK <-> microcontroller SPI SCK
   - Screen CS <-> microcontroller SPI CS
   - Screen D/C <-> microcontroller digital output pin
   - Screen Reset <-> microcontroller TFT_RST output pin

  Your pin numbers may vary depending on your display. See
   the Adafruit ST7735/7789 library examples for different initializers.
