Raspberry Pi Pico Nokia 5110 ( pcd8544 ) display tutorial using CircuitPython 

I am glad to see you back!

Works! thanks.

I love the Nokia 5110, I used them for eyes on a robot I made. I designed a different PCB to mount them, with the area behind the screen removed so I could use a RGB LED to illuminate the screen with whatever colour I wanted. The pi pico does run the screen quick, I may try replacing the nano I am currently using. If display.fill_rect() only writes the rectangle to the display. what I would do to speed it up is: In the bouncing box, try not using fill and draw rectangle every tick, use only at the start. Then before drawing new ball, draw white (opposite colour) ball where it currently is, then draw the ball in its new position. you will need two new variables: cur_ball_x, cur_ball_y so: Put display.fill(0) and display.rect(0,0,84,84,1) after clear_screen() Then change display.fill_rect(ball_x, ball_y, 5, 5, 1) to display.fill_rect(cur_ball_x, cur_ball_y, 5, 5, 0) display.fill_rect(ball_x, ball_y, 5, 5, 1) cur_ball_x = ball_x cur_ball_y = ball_y Hope that made some sense, another fantastic video nick.

Very Nice I love this content.

How to convert graphics to display on Nokia 5110? Thank you for video it was very helpful.

very cool! thank you for sharing

Excellent

excellent video. I could use the same Nokia 5110 LCD screen with arduino and use it with the cd2003gp chip, which is a radio chip. I already have the radio made. I would just like to adapt this small screen.

Hello, I have a similar setup and a keypad. How could I use this display and the keypad together to make a dumbphone like interface?

excellent video I could use the same Nokia 5110 LCD screen with arduino and use it with the cd2003gp chip which is a radio chip I already have the radio made I would just like to adapt this small screen to be able to visualize the radio stations, I have the FM, AM Band . thanks for your knowledge.

Nice!

And what needs to be changed in the sketch to use OLED I2C instead of the Nokia 5110 display ?

Hi. I'm doing everything step by step, but my lcd don't work at all. Another problem - when I'm disconect power, all files from memory were deleted. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can you help me please?
