gif-pad

This repository contains CircuitPython code for playing GIF animations on the Hiletgo 2.2" ILI9341 SPI display using the Waveshare RP2040-Plus board.

Hardware wiring

Connect the display to the RP2040-Plus using the following pins (adjust as needed):

Display Pin	RP2040-Plus Pin
VCC	3V3
GND	GND
SCK	GP18
MOSI	GP19
MISO	GP16 (unused)
CS	GP17
DC	GP20
RESET	GP21
LED	3V3

Setup

1. Download the Adafruit CircuitPython library bundle corresponding to your CircuitPython version.
2. Copy the following libraries from the bundle into the lib directory on the CIRCUITPY drive:
   • adafruit_ili9341.mpy
   • adafruit_gifio.mpy
   • adafruit_imageload.mpy
   • adafruit_bus_device
3. Copy code.py from this repository to the root of the CIRCUITPY drive.
4. Create a gifs directory on the CIRCUITPY drive and place your GIF file there named demo.gif (or update the path in code.py).
5. Eject the drive. The board will automatically run code.py and display the GIF.

Notes

The display orientation and pin assignments can be changed in code.py if your wiring differs. Large GIF files may require more memory than available on the board.
