The driver is based on devbis’ st7789py_mpy module from https://github.com/devbis/st7789py_mpy.
This driver adds support for:
LilyGo T-HMI 320x240 TFT LCD display
Display rotation
Hardware based scrolling
Drawing text using 8 and 16 bit wide bitmap fonts with heights that are multiples of 8. Included are 12 bitmap fonts derived from classic pc BIOS text mode fonts.
Drawing text using converted TrueType fonts.

- vscrdef(tfa, vsa, bfa)[source]
Set Vertical Scrolling Definition.
To scroll a 135x240 display these values should be 40, 240, 40. There are 40 lines above the display that are not shown followed by 240 lines that are shown followed by 40 more lines that are not shown. You could write to these areas off display and scroll them into view by changing the TFA, VSA and BFA values.
- Parameters:
tfa (int) – Top Fixed Area
vsa (int) – Vertical Scrolling Area
bfa (int) – Bottom Fixed Area
- vscsad(vssa)[source]
Set Vertical Scroll Start Address of RAM.
Defines which line in the Frame Memory will be written as the first line after the last line of the Top Fixed Area on the display
Example
- for line in range(40, 280, 1):
tft.vscsad(line) utime.sleep(0.01)
- Parameters:
vssa (int) – Vertical Scrolling Start Address
