# ST7789 Display Driver for Pimoroni LCDs <!-- omit in toc -->
The ST7789 driver supports both Parallel and Serial (SPI) ST7789 displays and is intended for use with:
* Pico Display
* Pico Display 2.0
* Tufty 2040
* Pico Explorer
* 240x240 Round & Square SPI LCD Breakouts
## Setup
Construct an instance of the ST7789 driver with either Parallel or SPI pins.
Parallel:
```c++
ST7789 st7789(WIDTH, HEIGHT, ROTATE_0, {
Tufty2040::LCD_CS, // Chip-Select
Tufty2040::LCD_DC, // Data-Command
Tufty2040::LCD_WR, // Write
Tufty2040::LCD_RD, // Read
Tufty2040::LCD_D0, // Data 0 (start of a bank of 8 pins)
Tufty2040::BACKLIGHT // Backlight
});
```
SPI:
```c++
ST7789 st7789(WIDTH, HEIGHT, ROTATE_0, false, {
PIMORONI_SPI_DEFAULT_INSTANCE, // SPI instance
SPI_BG_FRONT_CS, // Chip-select
SPI_DEFAULT_SCK, // SPI Clock
SPI_DEFAULT_MOSI, // SPI Out
PIN_UNUSED, // SPI In
SPI_DEFAULT_DC, // SPI Data/Command
PIN_UNUSED // Backlight
});
```
## Reference
### Update
ST7789's `update` accepts an instance of `PicoGraphics` in any colour mode:
```c++
st7789.update(&graphics);
```
### Set Backlight
If a backlight pin has been configured, you can set the backlight from 0 to 255:
```c++
st7789.set_backlight(128)
```
