Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PIM570:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description High-res and vibrant, with sweet viewing angles (IPS), this 1.3" round LCD screen will add some stylish curves to your Raspberry Pi projects. ow … ound … round … ground - this unconventional round display is ideally shaped for things like watch faces, speedometers and displaying data in interesting circular ways like pie charts and polar area graphs. You could also use it to add animated eyes to cosplay masks, build a moon phase tracker or just for displaying all the best round GIFs of pizzas, hypnotic spirals and chonky animals. Like our [smaller 0.9"](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/PIM436) and our [squarer 1.3"](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-1-3-spi-colour-lcd-240x240-breakout.html) LCD breakouts, it's an IPS display so it has great viewing angles and it's super-crisp and bright. It's driven by SPI and you should be able to run it at up to ~60FPS, although Pimoroni has found that anywhere from 10FPS looks good for most uses. You can use this breakout completely solder-free with our [Breakout Garden HAT with SPI](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/PIM445), [Breakout Garden Mini with SPI](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-breakout-garden-mini-i2c-spi.html) or [Breakout Garden 400](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-garden-for-raspberry-pi-400-i2c-spi-1.html). **Features** - 1.3" colour round LCD (240x240 pixels) - SPI interface - 3.3V or 5V compatible - Reverse polarity protection - Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi. - Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico. - [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/st7789-python) - [C++/MicroPython libraries for Raspberry Pi Pico](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico) **Specifications** - 240x240 pixels (~260 PPI) - Active area: 32.4mm diameter circle - >10000 cd/m2 brightness - ST7789 driver chip **Software** This breakout uses the [same ST7789 library](https://github.com/pimoroni/st7789-python) as the square version. The library makes it straightforward to display images, text or graphics, and even display animated GIFs! If you're using a Raspberry Pi, you can install it with: `sudo pip3 install st7789` You may also need to enable I2C and SPI in raspi-config. When running the generic examples, you'll need to specify that you're using a round display to offset the screen correctly, e.g. `python3 gif.py deployrainbows.gif round` **Connecting to your Raspberry Pi** If you're not using a Breakout Garden, then this is how to connect your LCD Breakout up to your Raspberry Pi. Our Python library is set up to use SPI 0 by default on the Pi (BCM 7 for CS, BCM 11 for SCK, and BCM 10 for MOSI), BCM 9 for DC, and BCM 19 for the backlight. Here's which pins to connect between your LCD breakout and your Pi's GPIO (**note that it's BCM pin numbering**): - 3-5V to any 5V or 3V pin - CS to BCM 7 - SCK to BCM 11 - MOSI to BCM 10 - DC to BCM 9 - BL to BCM 19 - GND to any ground pin You can of course use other pins with your LCD Breakout, but you'll have to change them accordingly when you instantiate the display in your code. **Notes** - Dimensions: (approx) 36 x 50 x 5mm ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/P/I/PIM570-1.jpg)
