tft lcd 2.4 mcufriend stm32f103 free sample

From what I have seen so far, I suspect that this might not be an issue specific to GUIslice -- instead I think it may be bringing to light a known incompatibility between Adafruit_TouchScreen library and the pin-sharing parallel 4-wire touch displays (common for mcufriend). This is the combination selected by the config: stm32-adagfx-mcufriend-simple. On the other hand, you have observed mcufriend + TouchScreen operates successfully, so there could be other differences at play.

Your particular setup is utilizing an mcufriend parallel display with 4-wire touch handling provided by Adafruit_TouchScreen. It is important to note that Adafruit"s 4-wire resistive touchscreen library (Adafruit_TouchScreen) is not generally compatible with many of the 4-wire touch mcufriend displays as it fails to restore pin state after reading the touch interface. Since these mcufriend displays often share the touch pins with the TFT pins, corruption is common. The mcufriend displays with integrated XPT2046 touch drivers won"t have this issue.

I have now uploaded an STM32 config (stm32-adagfx-mcufriend-notouch) that provides a no-touch option. I believe it may work better on your setup and would be interested in hearing if it paints the controls properly for you.

Enabling the touch handler (stm32-adagfx-mcufriend-simple) may result in the issues you observed due to the potential conflict between the Adafruit_TouchScreen library & the pin-sharing TFT (as the "-simple" config leverages the default Adafruit_TouchScreen library).

You had mentioned that mcufriend_kbv + TouchScreen worked in your testing. This is a good sign as it indicates that we should be able to enable the same combo for GUIslice too.

Were you running mcufriend_kbv/TouchScreen_Calibr_native or Touch_shield_new? (Did you modify the example other than to update the XP/YP/etc. pinout?)

I am able to get the mcufriend_kbv + TouchScreen to work correctly if I modify Touch_shield_new to use David"s hacked version of the Adafruit_TouchScreen library (TouchScreen_kbv) included in the examples/Touch_Calibr_native directory.

That said, it is possible that there is an altogether different issue you"re observing within the GUI, but given my prior experience with Adafruit_TouchScreen on these mcufriend displays, I"d like to rule out the above potential compatibility issue first.

This note introduces a low-cost Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display to enhance the operation and usefulness of Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) devices. TFT technology controls the pixel element on the glass surface thereby greatly reducing image blurring and improving viewing angles.

The test board chosen for this exercise is the Elegoo Arduino UNO board from the corresponding Super Starter Kit. The kit already has several simple numeric and text displays. The TFT display may perhaps provide better ways to interact in applications.

The controller for the illustrated model of the TFT display is SSD1297.This information is important because the display (owing to its low cost and high popularity) has many different manufacturers who may not leverage the same controller instruction set. The specification of the controller in the coding exercises is examined in the Appendix section of this note.

This post explains about how to display text on TFT lcd using arduino uno? TFT which is used in the tutorial is 2.4′ TFT by Mcufriend. It has ST7781 controller in it, Driver code is ST7783. This 2.4 inch TFT Lcd is arduino compatible. It can easily be mounted on an Arduino uno board. This TFT can be interfaced in 32,16 and 8 bit parallel mode. It also supports I2c Mode. In this tutorial i am going to interface it in 8-bit parallel mode with arduino uno.

Project code is below. I am not using any predefined library for displaying text on TFT lcd, I actually didn’t find any library that can properly display text on the TFT i have, all the libraries through which i have gone through were unable to initialize my lcd driver properly. So i decided to first read the driver of the TFT and then write my own code according to the driver supported commands. I first read the TFT Driver. To learn about how to check the TFT Lcd driver just go through this small tutorial.

After reading the driver of TFT i went through its datasheet. The TFT which i have is working with ST7781 controller, it’s a Chinese manufactured TFT by Mcufriend, their website says that the TFT is working on ILI9321 driver but its not. The information on ther website is misleading everyone, I have seen many posts on internet that talks about the Mcufriend TFT Lcd driver. So if you have a TFT and you are unable to find its driver than go through the above tutorial.

The TFT use in project can easily be mounted on any Arduino board. I mounted it on Arduino uno. You can also use any other Arduino board but for that you have to make changes in the code.

Changing the code is not a hard task if you understand the code written below. Coming to the Code. I first initialized the TFT Controlling pins LCD_RST, LCD_CS, LCD_RS, LCD_WR, LCD_RD. In the Setup function I made the Port-D and Port-B of Arduino Uno as output Port. Since the data pins of TFT is interfacing with Port-D and Port-B of Arduino so to write data and commands to TFT we have to declare Port-D and Port-B as output. Then the function InitializeTFT() is initializing the TFT.

In the Loop function i am filling TFT with colours. Colors are filled in Horizontal and vertical directions. According to the data sheet which says you can display text on TFT in eight directions.

The Code above will fill TFT with colors and the code below is displaying text “www.microcontroller-project.com” on TFT. Try to first understand the above code before moving to the code below. Above code is simply a method to fill the pixels of TFT. If you grabbed the process of filling TFT Pixels than you can display any text on lcd by manipulating the pixels.

Im new to Arduino myself but i do have the same screen which works perfect,your problem is probably that the TFT shield is shorting off the top off the arduino usb put something non conductive there and reset. if your still having trouble, try removing the shield and watch each pin as you insert it to make sure they are all inserted in the correct pins, LCD_02 should be in Dig pin 2.

Before I start, I want to mention that I did not write this code. This is a PORT from the mcufriend’s arduino code, which can be found HERE. I merely made some changes, so that it can be used with the CubeMx with a little modifications.

According to the Setup, the LCD_D2 is connected to the PA15. So if I want to write the DATA to the LCD_D2 pin, first I will select the 2nd bit of the data (d & (1<<2)), and than shift this by 13 using <<13. This will be like adding 2 with 13 to make a total of 15, and that’s where the LCD_D2 is connected to.

Similarly, LCD_D7 is connected to PA5. So to write the data, first we will select the 7th bit of the data (d & (1<<7)), and this time shift it RIGHT by 2 (>>2). This is like subtracting 7-2=5. And that’s where, the D7 is connected to.

The process here remains the same. Except, we have to first select the GPIO Pin, and than shift it according to the position of the LCD Pin, that it is connected to. In the function above, we are first selecting the PB0 pin, and as it is connected to LCD_D0, we don’t need to shift it anywhere. Same for the PB1 also.

Next, we are selecting PA15, and as this one is connected to the LCD_D2, we need to shift it by 13 to the right ( >>13). This process continues for all other pins too.

After all the Pins work is done, we still need to select the delays according to our clock frequency. As I am using STM32F103C8 at72 MHz, I am going to uncomment the respective code as shown below.
