Metro and 320X240 Color Display

Post by WilliamSchott »

I am learning to use your METRO 328 and 2.0" 320x240 Color IPS TFT Display with microSD Card Breakout. I have successfully compiled your suggested Adafruit_ImageReader test for Adafruit ST7789 320x240 TFT Breakout for Arduino. Thank you for providing all of the initial training documentation.

I am compiling with Tools/Board: "Arduino Uno". I see that Sketch uses 29204 bytes (90%) of program storage space. That does not leave me much room for my future code.

Is there a Metro Board library that I need to install?

Thank you very much for your help.

Good job getting things going so far.

The Metro 328 is Arduino UNO compatible so you do not need to install a board specific library.
The METRO works great with the Arduino IDE, and runs the ATmega328P at 16MHz so it is shape and pin-compatible with Arduino UNO R3 shields and boards. You can use this with the Arduino IDE (both desktop and cloud version) by selecting 'Arduino UNO' in the Boards menu.

There are newer models of the Metro that are M0 and M4 based. They have a great deal more memory and would be the way to go if you plan on driving a LCD display.
