Displays

Display blocks let you add screen hardware to your project and then write text or draw graphics on supported displays.

To get started with a display in Code Kit,

1. Open the Displays category and click Add Display.
2. Choose the display family you are using.
3. Use that display's setup block first.
4. Use the shared graphics or text blocks if your display supports them.

Character LCDs use their own LCD-only blocks. Pixel-based displays such as the 8x8 matrix, ST7789, and SSD1306 share the drawing blocks, but they do not all behave the same way.
