St7735s

Hello everyone. I am trying to make a game console with st7735s screen using raspberry pi pico. But the screen looks black and white. I did not have any problems when I used st7735. But it is hard to find st7735 in my country and the prices are high. st7735s is a price performance product. How can I solve this problem?

I’m really not sure about raspberry pi, but here’s what I found:
Could be configuration of connections or a settings error

Same error case as above, seems to be a running issue with older or cheaper models

Most likely this setting has been changed

And that’s just how to change the file but you probably already knew that!
Any more details would also be appreciated!

  • some say it could also be an unstable power source or using the wrong driver

By black and white, do you mean grayscale, just black and white, or a full solid screen or black or white?

thank you for responsing.
The results you suggested are related to raspberry pi. But Im using raspberry pi pico. The screen looks like this:

Hmm… have you followed the steps Here correctly?

yes. I have done this before with st7735 and ili9341 screens. Both of them work. I can’t do this with st7735s screen. There is an image but it is black and white. It seems like a little touch is needed. But what is that? I don’t know. I reviewed the source files in makecode arcade. I saw that the ili9341.h and st7735.h screen libraries were included in the screen.cpp file. If there was a st7735s.h library, this problem would be solved. But the files are locked. Cannot be edited.
