Features:
- Size: Compact 1.8-inch screen, ideal for portable or embedded projects.
- Resolution: 128×160 pixels – clear and sharp display for text, graphics, and images.
- Driver IC: ST7735 – a widely supported and efficient TFT controller with full-color support.
- Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) – fast and simple communication with microcontrollers.
- Power Supply: Compatible with both 5V and 3.3V input voltages via onboard voltage regulator.
- Level Shifting: Built-in level shifting for 5V/3.3V IO compatibility – no need for external logic shifters.
- SD Card Slot: Integrated SD card interface for image or data logging applications.

// Declare font
extern uint8_t SmallFont[];
// Create an instance of UTFT
UTFT myGLCD(ITDB18SP, 11, 13, 10, 8, 9);
void setup() {
myGLCD.InitLCD(PORTRAIT);
myGLCD.setFont(SmallFont);
myGLCD.clrScr();
myGLCD.setContrast(64);
myGLCD.setColor(255, 255, 255);
myGLCD.setBackColor(255, 100, 0);
myGLCD.print("Mooper", CENTER, 0);
}
void loop() {
// Custom drawing or graphics routines can be placed here.
