Raspberry Pi 4B SPI Display Interface | ILI9225 | Image, RGB Test | GIF Playback | Python | FFmpeg
This project demonstrates interfacing an ILI9225 SPI TFT display with a Raspberry Pi 4B using Python. The implementation covers low-level SPI communication, display initialization, and rendering techniques for different types of visual outputs.
Key features demonstrated in this video include:
• RGB color testing (Red, Green, Blue) with timed transitions to validate display functionality
• Rendering static images on the TFT display
• Playing animated GIFs by converting them into frames using FFmpeg and displaying them at 10 FPS
• Efficient frame handling and SPI-based data transfer
The project highlights practical embedded systems concepts such as SPI protocol usage, display driver implementation, and multimedia rendering on resource-constrained hardware.
Tech Stack:
• Raspberry Pi 4B
• ILI9225 SPI TFT Display
• Python (SPI communication & rendering logic)
• FFmpeg (GIF to frame conversion)
This implementation can be extended for real-time dashboards, embedded UI systems, or low-level display driver development.
