Waveshare 1.3inch LCD Display Module for Raspberry Pi Pico
Description
Waveshare Pico-LCD-1.3 is a compact 1.3inch LCD display module for Raspberry Pi Pico built around the ST7789 driver and a 240 × 240 resolution IPS panel. It connects through 4-wire SPI, attaches directly to Raspberry Pi Pico, and provides a clear square color display that is especially useful for compact control panels, handheld interfaces, and embedded visual projects.
This module also integrates 1 joystick and 4 user buttons, which makes it a strong fit for menu navigation, mini dashboard control, game-like interactions, and Pico-based projects that need both display output and direct input on the same board.
