The following video shows how to solder the headers onto the LCD skin.
|
|
At the end of the video, it shows you how to correctly connect the LCD skin to the pyboard.

|
Using the LCD
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To get started using the LCD, try the following at the MicroPython prompt.
|
|
Make sure the LCD skin is attached to the pyboard as pictured at the top of this page. ::
|
|
|
|
>>> import pyb
|
|
>>> lcd = pyb.LCD('X')
|
|
>>> lcd.light(True)
|
|
>>> lcd.write('Hello uPy!\n')
|
|
|
|
You can make a simple animation using the code::
|
|
|
|
import pyb
|
|
lcd = pyb.LCD('X')
|
|
lcd.light(True)
|
|
for x in range(-80, 128):
|
|
lcd.fill(0)
|
|
lcd.text('Hello uPy!', x, 10, 1)
|
|
lcd.show()
|
|
pyb.delay(25)
|
|
|
|
Using the touch sensor
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
To read the touch-sensor data you need to use the I2C bus. The
|
|
MPR121 capacitive touch sensor has address 90.
|
|
|
|
To get started, try::
|
|
|
|
>>> import pyb
|
|
>>> i2c = pyb.I2C(1, pyb.I2C.CONTROLLER)
|
|
>>> i2c.mem_write(4, 90, 0x5e)
|
|
>>> touch = i2c.mem_read(1, 90, 0)[0]
|
|
|
|
The first line above makes an I2C object, and the second line
|
|
enables the 4 touch sensors. The third line reads the touch
|
|
status and the ``touch`` variable holds the state of the 4 touch
|
|
buttons (A, B, X, Y).
|
|
|
|
There is a simple driver `here <http://micropython.org/resources/examples/mpr121.py>`__
|
|
which allows you to set the threshold and debounce parameters, and
|
|
easily read the touch status and electrode voltage levels. Copy
|
|
this script to your pyboard (either flash or SD card, in the top
|
|
directory or ``lib/`` directory) and then try::
|
|
|
|
>>> import pyb
|
|
>>> import mpr121
|
|
>>> m = mpr121.MPR121(pyb.I2C(1, pyb.I2C.CONTROLLER))
|
|
>>> for i in range(100):
|
|
... print(m.touch_status())
|
|
... pyb.delay(100)
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
This will continuously print out the touch status of all electrodes.
|
|
Try touching each one in turn.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you put the LCD skin in the Y-position, then you need to
|
|
initialise the I2C bus using::
|
|
|
|
>>> m = mpr121.MPR121(pyb.I2C(2, pyb.I2C.CONTROLLER))
|
|
|
|
There is also a demo which uses the LCD and the touch sensors together,
|
|
and can be found `here <http://micropython.org/resources/examples/lcddemo.py>`__.
