sainsmart 1.8 tft lcd in stock

The 1.8" TFT LCD SPI-bus display modules available from Adafruit and SainSmart are functionally equivalent, except that the SainSmart unit can be driven at a much faster SPI bus rate than the Adafruit (32 MHz vs. 4 MHz in my testing). Fabien Royer has shown that this is due to a slow level shifter in the Adafruit unit.

The board supports multiple different 1.8" panel pinouts including Adafruit and SainSmart, and sports mounting pads for three GPIO buttons. Very nice!

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.

So when using both display and SD-Card, and utilizing the Adafruit libraries with a SainSmart display, you will need to connect SDA to MOSI, and SCL to SCLK.

Note: Adafruit displays can have different colored tabs on the transparent label on your display. You might need to adapt your code if your display shows a little odd shift. I noticed that my SainSmart display (gree tab) behaves best with the code for the black tab – try them out to see which one works best for yours.

#define sclk 4 // SainSmart: SCL#define mosi 5 // SainSmart: SDA#define cs 6 // SainSmart: CS#define dc 7 // SainSmart: RS/DC#define rst 8 // SainSmart: RES

#define sclk 13 // SainSmart: SCL#define mosi 11 // SainSmart: SDA#define cs 10 // SainSmart: CS#define dc 9 // SainSmart: RS/DC#define rst 8 // SainSmart: RES

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).

#define SD_CS 4 // Chip select line for SD card#define TFT_CS 10 // Chip select line for TFT display#define TFT_DC 9 // Data/command line for TFT#define TFT_RST 8 // Reset line for TFT (or connect to +5V)

#define SD_CS 4 // Chip select line for SD card#define TFT_CS 10 // Chip select line for TFT display#define TFT_DC 9 // Data/command line for TFT#define TFT_RST 8 // Reset line for TFT (or connect to +5V)

However, if your application needs your screen sideways, then you’d want to rotate the screen 90 degrees, effectively changing the display from a 128×160 pixel (WxH) screen to a 160×128 pixel display. Valid values are: 0 (0 degrees), 1 (90 degrees), 2 (180 degrees) and 3 (270 degrees).

Reason: The hooks on the backight of ER-TFT032-3.1 is always complained by most customers for inconvenient assembly. So we cancel the hooks in the new version of ER-TFT032-3.2.That"s the only difference for these two versions.

ER-TFT032-3.2 is 240x320 dots 3.2" color tft lcd module display with ILI9341 controller and optional 4-wire resistive touch panel and 3.2 inch capactive touch panel with controller FT6236,superior display quality,super wide viewing angle and easily controlled by MCU such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARDUINO ARM and Raspberry PI.It can be used in any embedded systems,industrial device,security and hand-held equipment which requires display in high quality and colorful image.It supports 8080 8/16-bit parallel,3/4-wire serial interface. FPC with zif connector is easily to assemble or remove.Lanscape mode is also available.

Of course, we wouldn"t just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!".Here is the link for 3.2"TFT Touch Shield with Libraries, Examples.Schematic Diagram for Arduino Due,Mega 2560 and Uno . For 8051 microcontroller user,we prepared the detailed tutorial such as interfacing, demo code and development kit at the bottom of this page.

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:

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.

Greetings, Stan! I just got mine working. It seems that the Sainsmart labels their pins a little differently from the Adafruit. I was stumped, until I came across Kamal Mostafa"s website (Raspberry Pi projects : Adafruit/SainSmart 1.8" TFT LCD : st7735fb driver). There, he presents a table of which pins on the Adafruit correspond to which pins on the Sainsmart. Specifically:

Ignore, completely, the 4 pins over in the SD-Card section. Some of those pins have the same labels as what is referred to in the TFT docs you"ll find, but these are not the pins you want (unless you want to be accessing the SD card and not the TFT display).

The trouble seems to come from the fact that the Sainsmart labels their MOSI and Clock lines the way they"re labeled with i2C (as "SCL" and "SDA"). Anyway, here"s how I wired mine:

Don"t use the TFT18.ZIP that Sainsmart has on their website. It only works with an older version of the Arduino software. Instead, just use the built-in examples you"ll find at File->Examples->TFT->Arduino

With the above wiring, I was able to run the built-in examples without any modification. I"m currently working on getting Sainsmart"s demo sketches (like graphicstest_highspeed) to work. If you want them, let me know, but the built-in Arduino ones should work just fine for you.

Hi, I am having issues with my Sain Smart tft screen to work with the spark. Was wondering if there were any updates to this thread. I have connected the screen and using the code provided here but I only see a blank screen. Any help is appreciated. I am a novice and not sure where I am going wrong. Thanks

This is to house the 7 inch touch screen from Sainsmart for a arduino mega . It has a cutout for a 3/4" switch on the side and plenty of room for a Ethernet card mounted seperatly . ...I used mine as a air compressor controller.

I am about to get my first Teensy 3.1 to use in my project, I need to connect the Sainsmart 1.8" TFT display, I was wondering how I would do this. The display uses SPI and I need to connect SCL, SDA, RS/DC, RES, and CS pins.

That wiring graphic for ILI9341 is very well defined for sure, if the SD circuit on the sainsmart display is usable and you want to use it then mentioning that it needs a unique CS signal from Teensy may be helpful - Edit: I mean that the rest of the (apparently) separate lines of the two sets SPI pins should be safe to tie; I have not looked at the DS nor schematic for the display so there may be something which makes this a bad idea but not likely imho.

Indeed - the PJRC ILI9341 page and product and code worked as shown for me enough to solder wires and have it work the first time. I saw post that showed the edits needed (https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/28106-Display_ili9341?p=72889&viewfull=1#post72889)to use the SD portion (resistor removal/bypass) but I had unhooked mine and not gotten back to it yet. Here view of how fast the Teensy can push the ILI9341 (http://hackaday.com/2014/08/18/tft-lcds-hit-warp-speed-with-teensy-3-1/)
