ILI9488 SPI LCD on Raspberry Pi/Python using Luma.LCD
Luma.LCD provides a Python3 interface to small LCD displays connected to Raspberry Pi and other Linux-based single-board computers (SBC). It provides a Pillow-compatible drawing canvas, and other functionality. This exercises tested on Raspberry Pi 4/64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (bookworm) using Python3 + Luma.LCD to driver 3.5 inch 480x320 ILI9488 SPI LCD . Connection: Follows the suggested wiring for ILI9488 in Luma.LCD docs . Enable SPI Interface: Make sure SPI is enabled in Raspberry Pi using raspi-config.
