It's easy to use the Nokia 5110/3310 LCD with Python and the Adafruit CircuitPython PCD8544 module. This module allows you to easily write Python code to control the display.
We'll cover how to wire the Nokia LCD to your Raspberry Pi. First assemble your LCD.
Since there's dozens of Linux computers/boards you can use we will show wiring for Raspberry Pi. For other platforms, please visit the guide for CircuitPython on Linux to see whether your platform is supported.
Connect the LCD as shown below to your Raspberry Pi.
