Let's build potential dividers for our ST7789 LCD. We need 24 100 ohm resistors.
A voltage of 200/(200+100)*5 = 3.3333V can be achieve to the SCL, SDA, RES, DC, and CS pins the ST7789 LCD from the Arduino Mega.
After building the potential dividers with a copper board. We can connect the pins of the ST7789 LCD to the potential dividers and the Arduino Mega 2560.
LCD to Arduino
GND GND
VCC 3.3V
SCL 52 (SCLK)
SDA 51 (MOSI)
RES 9
DC 8
CS 10
BLK 3.3V
Important: Do not connect the VCC or BLK of the ST7789 LCD to 5V or it will burn and damage the LCD.
Thank you for viewing this project.
