## Add to project
Packages from this repository are uploaded to [Espressif's component service](https://components.espressif.com/).
You can add them to your project via `idf.py add-dependancy`, e.g.
```
idf.py add-dependency "espressif/esp_lcd_st7701"
```
Alternatively, you can create `idf_component.yml`. More is in [Espressif's documentation](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/tools/idf-component-manager.html).
## Example use
### RGB Interface
For most RGB LCDs, they typically use a "3-Wire SPI + Parallel RGB" interface. The "3-Wire SPI" interface is used for transmitting command data and the "Parallel RGB" interface is used for sending pixel data.
It's recommended to use the [esp_lcd_panel_io_additions](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp_lcd_panel_io_additions) component to bit-bang the "3-Wire SPI" interface through **GPIO** or an **IO expander** (like [TCA9554](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp_io_expander_tca9554)). To do this, please first add this component to your project manually. Then, refer to the following code to initialize the GC9503 controller.
```c
