1. Game Development: You can make your games more fun by creating colorful graphics with ST7735.
2. Information Displays: You can create information dashboards to display real-time data.
3. Simulations: You can create rich visual interfaces for Arduino-based simulations and educational tools.
4. Machine Control: In industrial automation projects, you can monitor the status of your devices with color screens.
The ST7735 TFT display is a powerful tool to enhance the visual experience in your projects and you can use it in a variety of applications.
Sample Application

(Vu meter connection, ST7735, Microphone Module and Arduino)
Code example for Arduino:
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h> // Adafruit Graphics Library
#include <Adafruit_ST7735.h> // Adafruit ST7735 Library
// Connection Pins
#define TFT_RST 8 // Reset pin
#define TFT_CS 9 // Chip select pin
#define TFT_DC 10 // Data/Command pin
// Specify the size of the screen (160x128 pixels)
Adafruit_ST7735 tft=Adafruit_ST7735(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_RST);
void setup(void) {
tft.initR(INITR_BLACKTAB); // Initialize the screen
tft.fillScreen(ST7735_BLACK); // Fill the screen with black
tft.setRotation(1); // Set the orientation of the screen (1 or 3 available)
tft.setTextColor(ST7735_WHITE); // Set the text color to white
tft.setTextSize(2); // Set text size (1, 2, 3 available)
}
void loop() {
tft.setCursor(20, 30); // Set where to start the text on the screen (x, y)
tft.println("Hello, World!"); //Print the text
delay(2000); //wait 2 seconds
tft.fillScreen(ST7735_BLACK); //clear screen
delay(1000); //wait 1 second
}
