Python Class to use a Nokia 6100 Display with Epson Controller on a Raspberry Pi
There is also some stuff for the Phillips Controller, but I lack a Display with that Controller to test it.
Have a look at test.py to see an usage example
I use native SPI to communicate with the Display - no Bitbanging - but I have to use 2 byte for every 9-bit-word the display expects.
Performance is ok, but do not expect more than 1/2 to 1 FPS.
Additional material
I also added some Eagel Files from Sparkfun in the PCB folder so you can produce a Breakout PCB,since it no longer available on Sparkfun.
The Datasheets can be found in DATASHEET as well, as an excellant Documentation from James P. Lynch, which helped me a lot getting this thing to work properly.
Wiring
If you use the Sparkfun Board connect the Pins as Follow
| RPi | PCB |
|---|---|
| MOSI | DIO |
| SCLK | SCK |
| CS1 | CS |
| GPIO #21 | RESET |
| GND | GND |
| 3.3V | 3.3V |
| 5V | VBATT |
that should do it
