1.8 inch tft lcd arduino made in china

The Graphic LCD screen is a backlit TFT LCD screen with headers. You can draw text, images, and shapes to the screen with the GLCD library. There is an onboard micro-SD card slot on the back of the screen that can, among other things, store bitmap images for the screen to display.

The 1.8inch LCD uses the PH2.0 8PIN interface, which can be connected to the Raspberry Pi according to the above table: (Please connect according to the pin definition table. The color of the wiring in the picture is for reference only, and the actual color shall prevail.)

ST7735S is a 132*162 pixel LCD, and this product is a 128*160 pixel LCD, so some processing has been done on the display: the display starts from the second pixel in the horizontal direction, and the first pixel in the vertical direction. Start to display, so as to ensure that the position corresponding to the RAM in the LCD is consistent with the actual position when displayed.

The LCD supports 12-bit, 16-bit and 18-bit input color formats per pixel, namely RGB444, RGB565, RGB666 three color formats, this routine uses RGB565 color format, which is also a commonly used RGB format

2. The module_init() function is automatically called in the INIT () initializer on the LCD, but the module_exit() function needs to be called by itself

Python has an image library PIL official library link, it do not need to write code from the logical layer like C, can directly call to the image library for image processing. The following will take 1.54inch LCD as an example, we provide a brief description for the demo.

The first parameter is a tuple of 2 elements, with (40, 50) as the left vertex, the font is Font2, and the fill is the font color. You can directly make fill = "WHITE", because the regular color value is already defined Well, of course, you can also use fill = (128,255,128), the parentheses correspond to the values of the three RGB colors so that you can precisely control the color you want. The second sentence shows Micro Snow Electronics, using Font3, the font color is white.

The demo is developed based on the HAL library. Download the demo, find the STM32 program file directory, and open the LCD_demo.uvprojx in the STM32\STM32F103RBT6\MDK-ARM directory to check the program.

image.cpp(.h): is the image data, which can convert any BMP image into a 16-bit true color image array through Img2Lcd (downloadable in the development data).

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful small display shield . This TFT display is small (1.8" diagonal) bright (4pcs white-LED chips) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 128x160 pixels with individual pixel control.

The shield is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up our library - you"ll have it running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Due/Mega 2560).

Of course, we wouldn"t just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - we"ve written a full open source graphics library at the bottom of this page that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. We also have a touch screen library that detects x,y and z (pressure) and example code to demonstrate all of it. The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

If you"ve had a lot of Arduino DUEs go through your hands (or if you are just unlucky), chances are you’ve come across at least one that does not start-up properly.The symptom is simple: you power up the Arduino but it doesn’t appear to “boot”. Your code simply doesn"t start running.You might have noticed that resetting the board (by pressing the reset button) causes the board to start-up normally.The fix is simple,here is the solution.

As you suggested, in addition to wiring up the display via the "yellow" connectors, I have wired up the pins on the opposite side of the board to the Arduino... it"s a standalone Arduino on a breadboard that runs at 16 MHz external, if it matters... anyway, here"s my pinout:

The ST7735 color TFT display is a 1.8″ display with a resolution of 128×160 pixels and can display an extensive range of colors. It utilizes the SPI protocol for communication, features its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, and only needs four I/O pins of a microcontroller. To complement the display, it also comes with an SD card slot on which colored bitmaps can be loaded and easily displayed on the screen.

The hardware setup for this experiment is fairly easy as the only thing you need to wire with the Arduino Uno is the TFT display. Well, connect the TFT display module to the Arduino Uno as pointed in the table below.

The ST7735 is a single-chip controller/driver for 262K-color, graphic type TFT-LCD, which consists of 396 source line and 162 gate line driving circuits. This chip is capable of connecting directly to an external microprocessor and accepts Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), 8-bit/9-bit/16-bit/18-bit parallel interface. Display data can be stored in the on-chip display data RAM of 132 x 162 x 18 bits.

It’s very crucial to note at this point that the maximum power supply voltage for the ST7735 display driver chip is 3.3V and same for its interface pins. Some TFT modules include a 3.3V regulator and a logic level shifter onboard in which case it can be used with any 5V microcontrollers. If not, some logic level shifting must be done if the microcontroller is not powered from 3.3V!

Copy the following code to your Arduino IDE and upload it to your Arduino Uno. This code displays “HELLO MAKER!” in the middle of the screen and changes the font color every 500 milliseconds.

Note that since the TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, you need to include the SPI library in your code. You also need to use the TFT library, which’s already included with Arduino IDE 1.0.5, and later, to write and draw on the TFT display.

Below is another easiest example code to manifest the possibilities of the TFT display. This no-frills Arduino Sketch simply displays the value of Uno’s analog input A0 on the TFT display.

And sure enough, the TFT library enables the Arduino to communicate with the TFT display module, and it simplifies the process of drawing lines, shapes, images, and text to the display screen. Note that the TFT library relies on the SPI library for communication with the display and SD card, and needs to be included in all sketches. For additional information, see this page https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/tft/.

In my book, this ST7735 display controller based 1.8″ colour TFT display is a very handy module for use in microcontroller projects. Here I just discussed about displaying elements on the TFT display but you can follow my upcoming tutorials to learn more about making a bit more advanced display projects.

The ST7789 TFT module contains a display controller with the same name: ST7789. It’s a color display that uses SPI interface protocol and requires 3, 4 or 5 control pins, it’s low cost and easy to use. This display is an IPS display, it comes in different sizes (1.3″, 1.54″ …) but all of them should have the same resolution of 240×240 pixel, this means it has 57600 pixels. This module works with 3.3V only and it doesn’t support 5V (not 5V tolerant).

As mentioned above, the ST7789 TFT display controller works with 3.3V only (power supply and control lines). The display module is supplied with 3.3V (between VCC and GND) which comes from the Arduino board.

To connect the Arduino to the display module, I used voltage divider for each line which means there are 4 voltage dividers. Each voltage divider consists of 2.2k and 3.3k resistors, this drops the 5V into 3V which is sufficient.

The first library is a driver for the ST7789 TFT display which can be installed from Arduino IDE library manager (Sketch —> Include Library —> Manage Libraries …, in the search box write “st7789” and install the one from Adafruit).

For related test program descriptions, please refer to the test program description documents in the program packageStep 2: Connect the Arduino development boardPlug the module straight into the Arduino development board

After the module is plugged in, power on the Arduino development boardStep 3: Copy dependent librariesMake sure that Arduino IDE has been installed on the computer (if not installed: Arduino IDE download website)

After installing the Arduino IDE, you need to copy the dependent libraries to the Arduino project directory, as follows:(1) Unzip the downloaded test package(2) Copy the dependent libraries in the Install libraries directory of the program package (as shown in the figure below) to the librariesfolder of the Arduino project directory (Arduino project directory)
