arduino tft lcd sd card quotation

I am wondering which 1.8" TFT you are using. I bought a red DS Tech 1.8" TFT screen with a yellow, 11-pin header on one side and I soldered on a 4-pin header on the other side. I had to do some research, from which I gathered the following...

...in order for both the screen and the card reader to work, hardware SPI must be used. In the code at the top of this page, you have RST on pin 9 and DC on pin 8, but the Arduino TFT documentation has RST as 8 and DC as 9.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\TFT\src/utility/Adafruit_GFX.h:318:40: warning: converting to non-pointer type "int" from NULL [-Wconversion-null]

Anyway now I commented that line, beacuse I am not interested in speed right now. But now the problem seems to be the programation code. the error message is as follows: ( I am using Arduino 1.8.7)

In this guide we’re going to show you how you can use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino. You’ll learn how to wire the display, write text, draw shapes and display images on the screen.

The 1.8 TFT is a colorful display with 128 x 160 color pixels. The display can load images from an SD card – it has an SD card slot at the back. The following figure shows the screen front and back view.

This module uses SPI communication – see the wiring below . To control the display we’ll use the TFT library, which is already included with Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and later.

The TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, so you need to include the SPI library on your code. We also use the TFT library to write and draw on the display.

The 1.8 TFT display can load images from the SD card. To read from the SD card you use the SD library, already included in the Arduino IDE software. Follow the next steps to display an image on the display:

Note: some people find issues with this display when trying to read from the SD card. We don’t know why that happens. In fact, we tested a couple of times and it worked well, and then, when we were about to record to show you the final result, the display didn’t recognized the SD card anymore – we’re not sure if it’s a problem with the SD card holder that doesn’t establish a proper connection with the SD card. However, we are sure these instructions work, because we’ve tested them.

In this guide we’ve shown you how to use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino: display text, draw shapes and display images. You can easily add a nice visual interface to your projects using this display.

The 2.8 inch TFT LCD Touch Display 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. So spice up your Arduino UNO project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with a built-in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.8″ diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlights) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades). The 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.

The screen is 1.77" diagonal, with 160 x 128 pixel resolution. The TFT library interfaces with the screen"s controller through SPI when using the TFT library. Refer to the screen"s data sheet for complete details.

The Arduino TFT library extends the Adafruit GFX, and Adafruit ST7735 libraries that it is based on. The GFX library is responsible for the drawing routines, while the ST7735 library is specific to the screen on the Arduino screen. The Arduino specific additions were designed to work as similarly to the Processing API as possible.

The TFT library relies on the SPI library, which must be included in any sketch that uses the scree. If you wish to use the SD card, you need to include the SD library as well.

There are many tutorials on Arduino shields for 2.4 inch TFT LCD displays. In this road test I apply different tutorials to check the performance and issues of this specific shield: AZ-Delivery 2.4 inch TFT LCD display with resistive 4-wire touchscreen and an integrated SD card reader.AZ-Delivery 2.4 inch TFT LCD display.

TFT LCD is a variant of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses thin-film-transistor (TFT) technology. That improves image quality, better contrast and addressability.

Depends on the needs of your project. Arduino UNO processor frequency is low. With the Arduino UNO full-color TFT LCDs are suitable to display simple data and commands. The TFT controller used cannot switch internal display RAM, so you can"t use the double buffer technique for animations but still you can only re-draw small sections of screen.

Given the limitations of the Arduino UNO the bigger the display the worse the performance. The size of this display is adequate to meet that compromise between number of pixels, display area and capabilities of the Arduino UNO.

This module consumes most of the resources available in Arduino UNO. This is not a limitation of the module itself. In return, using a parallel interface allows you to quickly update the image. If you want to take advantage of all its functionality (LCD + touch screen + SD card), only pins 0 and 1 (RX and TX, respectively) and pin 19 (A5) remain unused. If the SD card is not used, pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 are additionally available. With a suitable layout, some SPI devices could be connected even if the SD card is used.

The module arrived well packed and in perfect condition. The board comes in a sealed antistatic bag, with protective foams to prevent the terminals from bending, and all this wrapped with a bubble bag and inside an individual cardboard box. The label on the antistatic bag indicates the controller is an ILI9341.

The PCB silkscreen indicates the main function of each pin, the labels are easy to read, although it does not show labels for the touch screen pins:Pin 9 - Touch X+ / LCD_D1

The SD card reader is very well located between the USB connector and the power connector, it does not touch either of them as it happens in other lcd tft shield modules and it is easily accessible to insert and remove the SD cards.

You can directly use the shield with any arduino uno. In this case we are using an Arduino UNO that exposes all the pins both on the header and on the board. In such a way that you do not need another shield to access the pins not used by the screen

ShieldCompatible with Arduino. 5V compatible, can be used with 3.3V or 5V logic. On-board 3.3 V (300mA LDO controller). The design is very well thought out and fits Arduino UNO perfectly.

2x74LVC245A Octal Bus Transceiver With 3-State outputs. This octal bus transceiver is designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. The LVC245A is designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic level at the direction-control (DIR) input. The output-enable (OE) input can be used to disable the device so the buses effectively are isolated. Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of this device as a translator in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment. This chip solves the problem of how to interface 3.3V logic devices to a 5.0V logic chip such as the Arduino. Most 3.3V devices do not like being run with 5V signals and can be damaged or flaky. The 74LVC245 is designed so that even when it runs at 1.8V, it still happily accepts 5V signals in one pin and converts it to a lower logic level on the opposite pin. It has 8 pipes it can convert but it won"t work with bi-directional/pull-up based devices such as I2C or 1-Wire. It does work great for SPI, Serial, Parallel bus, and other logic interfaces.

If you want to take advantage of all its functionality (LCD + touch screen + SD card), only pins 0 and 1 (RX and TX, respectively) and pin 19 (A5) remain unused. If the SD card is not used, pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 are additionally available. With a suitable layout, some SPI devices could be connected even if the SD card is used.

The ILI9341 which can control each pixel with a small number of pins. The shield connects ILI9341"s data pins 0-7 to Arduino digital pins 2-8 (allowing parallel communication, not SPI). ILI"s RESET goes to pin to Arduino analog pin A4.CS (chip select) to A3. RS (CD command/data) to A2. WR and RD to A1 and A0.

Includes a resistive 4-wire touchscreen (touchpad). The touch screen is attached on the surface of the display. Touch screen needs two analog inputs and two digital outputs. It connects through 4 wires, which share arduino pins 8, 9, A2, A3 with the ILI9341 driver. So you can"t write to LCD display and read the touch screen in the same time. I. Driver chip is XPT2046.

The resistive touch screen does not appear to appreciably affect the optical characteristics. Works properly, It takes a little pressure with the stylus for it to respond like in old mobile phones. You notice how it sinks into the screen when you press with the stylus. The stylus that comes with the module makes it easy to use if your interface design uses small controls. Some touch screen libraries offer better accuracy by specifying the resistance of the touch screen in the X direction. Resistance can be easily measured with a multimeter by connecting the test leads to the LCD_D1 - X + and LCD_DS X- terminals. Touch is sensitive to pressure.

The SD card reader works well. Accessing the SD card with the functions available in the SD library included in the IDE version used does not present any problem. SD cards are recognized and can be written or deleted.

Just tested the 2.2″ version. Easiest way to control it from an Arduino is by using the Adafruit ILI9340 library. Made a video of the example sketch that comes with the library: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVzZ6PWFbGE

The description says you can use 5V for VCC. That’s wrong. By using 5V the module will get too hot and will not work. Use 3.3V and the module will work. You can use a voltage divider for your 5V Arduino.

nice unit. got the 2.2″ version for my signal generator project (based on the AD9850 module i got from here also). clean and clear, very happy with it.. got it working with a couple of different libraries, mainly Adafruit and UTFT.

2.2” – Nice colors, easy integration with Arduino Uno and Teensy++2.0 . Only 3 stars because of the limited angle of view and issues withh the edge most lines.
