“Good display easy to use once you have sorted out the hardware connections. The following was my test program.
# Simple "Hello World" for the Display-O-tron DOGLCD 163
# The display is 3 lines of 16 characters
# Hardaware configuration The DOGLCD pins to the Pi pins
#
# VCC -> 5V
# GND -> GND
# RST -> BCM 12
# RS -> BCM 25
# CS -> BCM 8
# SCLK -> BCM 11
# MOSI -> BCM 10
# R -> BCM 5 The RGB pins can be changed
# G -> BCM 6 if the pins are already in use
# B -> BCM 13
#
# The software library required can be downloaded/installed using the following command
# curl https://get.pimoroni.com/displayotron | bash
import dot3k.lcd as lcd
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
print("""
This example shows a basic "Hello World" on the LCD.
You should see "Hello World" displayed on your LCD!
