Compatibility
Works with any board supporting SPI: Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano (3.3V logic), ESP8266, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, and STM32. Libraries like Adafruit ST7735 and TFT_eSPI provide easy drawing functions. The 3.3V regulator allows safe power from 5V USB, but logic pins are 3.3V—use a level shifter if your MCU outputs 5V.
Wiring Notes
Connect VCC to 3.3V, GND to ground. SPI pins: SCL (SCK), SDA (MOSI), RES (reset), DC (data/command), CS (chip select), and BL (backlight). On Arduino Uno, common wiring maps to pin 13 (SCK), 11 (MOSI), 9 (CS), 8 (DC), 10 (SD CS if using SD). The backlight draws ~20mA; total module current is under 50mA. Use a 100Ω resistor on BL pin if not PWM-controlled.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Uno?
Yes, the SPI interface works with Uno using the hardware SPI pins and digital pins for control. Use the Adafruit ST7735 library for easy setup.
Does the module have a microSD card slot?
