Raspberry Pi Pico: How do I output to a screen?

LordSoldierDoggo · May 4, 2023

Hello all, I recently bought a Pico H and a 3.5" touchscreen ips lcd display for raspberry pi pico (480x320) from Pi Hut. I plan on making my Pico into a small e-book reader of somesorts or maybe a Gameboy Emulator.
Now here's the issue: how do I get my Pico to output to the screen i bought?
I have looked on the internet a bunch and can't really find an answer, so I'm hoping that someone here would know and would be able to explain it.

Thanks in advance.

Start by looking for a code library that supports that screen model/the controller it uses.

The place you bought it from should likely have a link to libraries/sample code.

That worked! I did manage to find the code for the demo and now have a display. Now I just need to figure out how to do the rest of what I want.

Thank you for the help!
