I don’t think inkscape is quirky, I get along with it quite well considering I am a newbie at it. I think the inkscape to Fritzing interaction needs work and I think most of the problems can be solved on the inkscape side of things.

This is slightly misleading in that copper1 is actually under copper0 not silkscreen, but the order should be silkscreen, copper1 with copper0 as a group under copper1 (at present copper1 and copper0 are reversed.) I don’t know of any problem this causes other than Fritzing will prefer to select silkscreen if it is the lowest group (thus a warning rather than an error.)

While this shows as an error (because in schematic it likely is one), in this case it is ignorable, because Fritzing will use the center of the pin as the termination point as was intended. Technically you can and should remove the connectorxterminal elements in breadboard, but it won’t hurt anything. repeats for all the pins on breadboard.

With that done and no major problems, load the part in to Fritzing and test it. This is to catch errors that the script can not (such as a terminalId existing but being in the wrong place). Here is a sketch of a typical test:

We’ve wrapped up all the Feathers, here’s a few that we haven’t blogged yet – all Feathers should now have lovely Fritzing objects! Thanks to Phil B for assisting with many of these!

The SparkFun TFT LCD Breakout is a versatile, colorful, and easy way to experiment with graphics or create a user interface for your project. With a 4-wire SPI interface and microSD card holder, you can use this breakout to easily add visual display/interface capabilities to a project as well as providing all the storage you might need for multimedia files.

Out of the box, the SparkFun TFT LCD Breakout will come with a large backing PCB that makes it easy to securely mount the display in a project. If you need a more flexible solution you can remove the display module, snap off half the backing board, and then re-insert the display module. When this is done you"ll be left with the bare minimum frame around the display to more seamlessly integrate with your project.

Adafruit_ST7735 is the library we need to pair with the graphics library for hardware specific functions of the ST7735 TFT Display/SD-Card controller.

Basically, besides the obvious backlight, we tell the controller first what we are talking to with the CS pins. CS(TFT) selects data to be for the Display, and CS(SD) to set data for the SD-Card. Data is written to the selected device through SDA (display) or MOSI (SD-Card). Data is read from the SD-Card through MISO.

You can name your BMP file “parrot.bmp” or modify the Sketch to have the proper filename (in “spitftbitmap” line 70, and in “soft_spitftbitmap” line 74).

Now comes the most challenging part of this entire article: wiring the logic side, the sensors and the Arduino together. Even though we are using two shields (LoRenz shield and ROHM Sensor Evaluation Shield), there’s quite a lot of modules to connect. Here’s a Fritzing diagram of the wiring. Please note that the ROHM shield isn’t shown in the diagram, since it would cover most of the other connections.

Please don"t mark this question as duplicated because I looked at the other guy he/she was using different guide.. the one I"m using is posted by the company I purchased the TFT from.

The connections have been made in the Breadboard section of the Fritzing software as shown above. Mind the “Lite” pin connection, without which the backlight will not work.

In the PCB tab of the Fritzing software, the PCB size and connections can be finalized. This design is difficult to be fabricated as a single layer board, hence two layers are being used. The pins have been labelled as the silkscreen print. The final PCB design has been shown below. You could use the “autoroute” function if you find it difficult to route the tracks.

I scripted the Arduino program that displays bitmap (BMP) images on the TFT display. I added a variable to change the duration of the slideshow or in other words, the time interval between concurrent images. You can find the full code hereArduino Sketch.

The display has a fixed dimension of 128x128 pixels. So, it will not display larger images accurately. All the images to be used have to be resized to the dimensions of the TFT display. I downloaded emoji images of random sizes as shown in the first image.

The TFT display and the Wemos D1 mini has been put together via the headers. For a size comparison, the mini digital photo frame has been placed beside a Mr.Bean Funko-Pop figure.

Our best-selling PiTFT 2.8" display just got a fancy upgrade, now we have a version with a capacitive touchscreen! That"s right, instead of a resistive touchscreen, which requires a fingernail or stylus, you can now use a fingerpad. The screen looks much nicer, with a black bezel and glass overlay.

The screen is the same size as the resistive type so you can use this with the PiTFT PiBow or any other enclosure you may already have. We also use the same SDL device and signals so PyGame and X11 based programs can be swapped in with no changes in code.

Use it for console access or easily pop up X11 onto the PiTFT for a mini monitor, although its rather small at 320x240. Instead, we recommend using PyGame or other SDL-drawing programs to write onto the frame buffer.
