Using Displays in Raspberry Pi Projects: Learn to program displays and GUIs with Python

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 displays that readers will need to use in their Raspberry Pi-based projects. Each project's operation is fully explained, including block diagrams, circuit diagrams, and commented full program listings. Therefore, it is easy 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 or modify them to suit their applications.
