TFT displays bring life to the project. Why shy with the LCD character display? OLED displays look good and stand out too but small size and limited colors limit the application to basic graphics but are still colorless. No color? No life!

Having the option of TFT display in your next Arduino project can add so many vibrant menu options, can display images, and hence can be a very rich user experience thing.

This is a very basic example of displaying a few texts on the display. We will use the library from Adafruit for the same. The best thing about the Wokwi Embedded systems simulator is that you can run the code straight from the browser. It means, you can easily share the project (as a link) and your friend can run it and lay with the project.

In this article, you will get a working Arduino project which has a simulated TFT display. The display will exactly work in the same way how it would work in the real world and with the real hardware. You can try any TFT project you have!

Let us get started. You will complete the code, connection diagram as well as live working Arduino simulation link so that you can start playing with the code instantly! For more information on the Simulated TFT display,click here.

There is no dearth of flight simulator games but when we talk of a flight simulator cockpit or even flight simulator yokes, throttle, lever and other controls, the choices aren’…

If you can, spend about $100 on a decent temperature-controlled soldering station (Hakko FX-888 or similar). For peace of mind, make sure it has an auto-power-off feature.

You can write your Arduino sketch in such a way that different string values go to the same display. How exactly you do this depends on the exact display and Arduino library used.

One method is the one shown in the tutorial video on LCDs. In the on...Changed() function, the first command sets the cursor of the display to the start position and the second one writes the newValue to the display.

A slightly different method should be used if your display can only update everything at once. In that case, remove the on...Changed functions from the code snippets and replace them with NULL in the parameter list to the StringBuffer so you"d end up with something like this:

In general, a lot of people seem to ask "can you do X with DCS-BIOS?", to which the answer is almost always "yes, as long as you write some Arduino code". I wonder what kind of documentation I need to add to make people ask "How do I" instead of "Can I do".

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.

So the drawDistanceSensor() custom function needs to be called only once when the button is pressed in order to draw all the graphics of this example in similar way as we described for the home screen. However, the getDistance() custom function needs to be called repeatedly in order to print the latest results of the distance measured by the sensor.

In order the code to work and compile you will have to include an addition “.c” file in the same directory with the Arduino sketch. This file is for the third game example and it’s a bitmap of the bird. For more details how this part of the code work  you can check my particular tutorial. Here you can download that file:

Inspired by Spad.Next Serial Interface v1 Simple Autopilot by Les O"Reilly. Using Adafruit Feather with 3.5" Touch Wing. Display is "passive" with exception of touch to change radio and course. Button inputs are separate using a Leo Bodnar BBI-32.

Current version is using the SPAD.next Serial V2 pattern, using the INPUT and OUTPUT types instead of DATA and SUBSCRIBE. Mapping between displayed values and the variables are done in SPAD.next.

FIFA 23 s 10-hour trial comes with the Xbox Game Pass but players will have to enable it manually For some users, the trial shows up directly when a user visits the Microsoft Store from their console as long as they have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. But sometimes it doesn"t show up on its own. The same also happens for those who have purchased the game. Thankfully, the workaround is relatively simple and doesn"t require much effort to begin with. Step 1: Turn on the console and let it connect to the internet. Step 2: Go to the Microsoft Store and search FIFA 23. Step 3: The digital store will display the search results for the two available editions - Standard and Ultimate. Step 4: There will be a small button beside the purchase button, showing whether a user is eligible for the 10-hour trial. Step 5: Press on it, and the trial will be added to the user"s account at no extra cost. Players can then install and play the game to enjoy all the game modes and content. Those who have purchased the Standard Edition are also eligible for the trial. They will have to download the trial version from the available edition and play the game anytime before September 30.
