2.4 tft lcd display shield factory

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is 2.4" diagonal and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional capacitive touch panel and resistive touch panel with controller XPT2046 attached by default.

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).

This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. You can connect more sensors, buttons and LEDs.

The 2.4 ” tft lcd touch screen shield for Arduino can be used in a number of applications. However many of the shields available on the market are cloned versions which usually give many hobbyists hard time to use because they do not work properly with the common libraries for running TFT displays.

If you try uploading any of the examples in the Adafruit_GFX library for example the “graphicstest”, the lcd will just give a white screen. Nothing is displayed on the screen!

This problem is mainly due to using a newer version of the Adafruit GFX library. The 1.5.4 release of the Adafruit_GFX library broke compatibility with the Adafruit_TFTLCD library. So you have to roll back to Adafruit_GFX 1.5.3:

Another problem you may encounter with this tft lcd shield is the poor fuctioning of the touch screen. You may find the stylus pen is not well aligned with the content you are writing on the screen.

You can keep on adjusting the values of before x and y until you get an ideal point that works best for your tft lcd. Mine worked fine with return TSPoint(x, 1105-y, z)

Voltage type: 5v or 3v voltage input voltage，input is selectable. Because TFT can only work under 3.3 V voltage, so when the input voltage VIN is 5V, need through the 3.3 V voltage regulator IC step down to 3.3V , when the input voltage of 3.3 V, you need to use the zero resistance make J2 short , is equivalent to not through the voltage regulator IC for module and power supply directly.

2.4 inch TFT Touch Screen LCD Module for Arduino has excellent vivid color contrast. You can Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection.

This TFT display is big,bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades).It has way more resolution than a black and white 128A—64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

Technical Details includes 2.4 and #x2033 diagonal LCD TFT display 240A—320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color SPFD5408 controller with built in video RAM buffer 8 bit digital interface, plus 4 control lines.It uses digital pins 5-13 and analog 0-3.

The 2.4 inch TFT LCD Touch Display Shield is a Bright, 4 white-LED backlight, on by default but you can connect the transistor to a digital pin for backlight control. So spice up your Arduino UNO project is a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with a built-in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.4″ diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlights) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)!

2.4 inch TFT LCD Touch Display Shield for ArduinoUno is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. Add the touch display without wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up a library – you ‘ll have it running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino ATMEGA328 Board.

The 2.4 inch TFT LCD Touch Display comes with 240×320 pixels with individual pixel control. It has way more resolution than a black and white 128×64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

Display worked perfect! No dead pixels, backlight was bright and touch screen had minimal lag and was very responsive. Recommended if you need a touchscreen.

This touch display works 100% right out of box . Touch screen and SD card reader functions works as designed. You just "plug and play" into the UNO module.

This 240x320 resolution LCD TFT is a standard display with 8-bit/16-bit Parallel interface, offering 262K colors and a 6:00 optimal view. This Liquid Crystal Display has a built-in ST7789Vi controller, FFC ZIF I/O connection, is RoHS compliant and does not come with a touchscreen.

Choose from a wide selection of interface options or talk to our experts to select the best one for your project. We can incorporate HDMI, USB, SPI, VGA and more into your display to achieve your design goals.

Equip your display with a custom cut cover glass to improve durability. Choose from a variety of cover glass thicknesses and get optical bonding to protect against moisture and debris.

In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.

As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.

Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.

I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.

After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.

So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels  down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.
