make driver help st7789

[hansendw]

i want to use the driver st7789. I went to the github and got the folder https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy. I have this folder in my /Micropython folder. It's a Linux machine running Mint. I am uncertain what to do next. No doubt this is a simple procedure and I apologize for not knowing what to do next. I will use this driver for a micropython esp-32 board.

As an alternative you might like to look at nano-gui whcih has its own ST7789 driver. This will run on an ESP32.

Thanks, but that doesn't help me. Im running Micropython on an esp32. I just need to have the display driver ST7789

The link you posted provides detailed installation instructions. Russ Hughes' driver is written in C so requires compiling as part of the firmware. This enables high speed operation. I would suggest learning to create and install a standard firmware build before following his excellent instructions.

The driver I suggested is written in Python and can be installed easily with mip. The trade-off is performance.
