This book is about Raspberry Pi 4 display projects. The book starts by explaining how to install the latest Raspbian operating system on an SD card, and how to configure and use the GPIO ports.

This book is about Raspberry Pi 4 display projects. The book starts by explaining how to install the latest Raspbian operating system on an SD card, and how to configure and use GPIOs. The core of the book explains in simple terms and with tested and working example projects, how various types of display devices can be used in Raspberry Pi projects. Example projects provided use simple LEDs, bar graph LEDs, matrix LEDs, bit map LEDs, multi-digit 7-segment LEDs, LED strips, LCDs, OLEDs, E-paper displays, TFT displays, 7 inch touchscreen display modules, and many more.

One unique feature of this book is that it covers almost all types of display that readers will need to use in their Raspberry Pi based projects. The operation of each project is fully given, including block diagrams, circuit diagrams, and commented full program listings. It is therefore an easy task to convert the given projects to run on other popular platforms, such as Arduino or PIC microcontrollers.

Tkinter is an inbuilt Python module used to create GUI applications. Tkinter is already part of Python and therefore there is no need to install it. Tkinter has the following advantages:

• Tkinter is available with Python and there is no need to install it.
• Tkinter has been developed over many years and is a highly stable software package.
• It is easy to use the Tkinter, although some of its widgets are complex.

The core of the book explains the following topics in simple terms with fully tested and working example projects:

Simple LED projects
Bar graph LED projects
Matrix LED projects
Bitmap LED projects
LED strips
LCDs
OLED displays
E-paper displays
TFT displays
7-inch touch screen
GUI Programming with Tkinder
