1.8 Inch TFT Display Module ST7735
= Compact Color Display with SPI Interface for Arduino =
This 1.8 inch TFT LCD display module is a fullcolor graphical display with a 128x160 resolution, ideal for adding vibrant visual output to Arduino and other microcontroller projects . Controlled by the ST7735 driver IC, it uses a simple SPI interface requiring only 45 I/O pins .
HighResolution Color Display 128x160 pixel resolution with 262K colors for sharp, detailed visuals.
Simple SPI Interface Minimal wiring with 4wire SPI communication for easy integration.
Operating voltage: 3.3V to 5V DC .
The display uses the ST7735 driver with a wide viewing angle and high contrast .
Support for hardware or software SPI provides flexibility for various microcontrollers .
Most modules are 3.3V logic; for 5V Arduinos, use 1k series resistors on signal lines or a level shifter .

= Troubleshooting =
Display shows white screen:
- Adjust contrast or check initialization in code.
- Verify SPI wiring (CS, RST, DC, SDA, SCL) .
- Check if the correct driver (ST7735) is initialized.
No display or garbled text:
- Ensure correct library and pin assignments.
- Some modules require specific initialization sequences; try different library examples.
