7 lcd touch screen for arduino brands
Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (7" diagonal) bright (14 white-LED backlight) and colorfu 800x480 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional 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 (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.
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!
For 7 inch screen,the high current is needed.But the current of arduino uno or arduino mega board is low, an external 5V power supply is needed. Refer to the image shows the external power supply position on shield ER-AS-SSD1963.
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.
I already heard of ITEAD, not about this Nextion.. It seens it leaves alot of the processing for the Arduino, I don"t know if I"m ready to do it all...
I just did some googling......... A forum contact of mine sent me a message the other day showing some work he is doing with a 4D systems FT843..... let me show you his demo....... FT843 + GD2 + Due: Iconos en movimiento - YouTube That looks worth it to me
If you INSIST on going down the Mega route, it would be advantageous to get an intelligent display just to make up for inadequacies of the Mega, some of these are overcome when using the Due, so a dumb display is less of a performance hit.
Is 7" one of your Mandatory design choices? The reason I ask is that the youtube video of the 4D systems display you saw was a 4.3" device and you can get those for about $50....
Isn"t exactly mandatory, but I would like to have a big screen, I plan to hang it on the wall right on my bed, to use as an alarm clock / weather checking station, and as I already use, with voice recognition and as a webserver to control my house automation (ligths, TV"s, HT"s, etc.).
The inteligent 4.3" display goes for US$ 150,00 so no big difference, but that "dumb" one from the video, is really cheap. How your friend managed to control it?
And about the standard UTFT devices, I didn"t find any 7" inch, and the processing is left all for the Arduino right? I don"t know if I"m ready to the task, the screens I want to make are not that hard if it"s done graphically, but it"s alot harder if done by coding, my HTML code as almost 250 lines for it...
It is 100% compatible with the normal MCU like ARM AVR PIC and 8051,especially on Arduino family such as Arduino Due and Arduino MEGA2560(R3).The module uses the LCD controller Chip SSD1963 with 7 inch LCD including the touchscreen.
LCD-specificed intialization code is provided, so that you can save time to optimize power control register and gamma curves for best display performance. We have test the provided code, it gives the best display performanace
This shiled is just for 7 inch TFT LCD.If you need the LCD Extend shield for 3.2"" or 5"", you may foudn a similar shield which is also provided from our store.
This 7.0" TFT LCD Module can be easy controlled by MCU such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARDUINO, and ARM .It can be used in any embedded systems which require display high quality colorful image. The Module used SSD1963 LCD controller with 5 inch LCD module with touchpad. This LCD has a superior display quality and super wide viewing angle. The LCD has a SD slot, SPI flash footprint.
