1.8 inch st7735r spi 128 160 tft lcd display setup for sale

I bought this LCD Display for a university course that I"m taking. The screen itself works amazingly with the breadboard that I had on hand and the tm4c123 microcontroller that we all used in the class. On both sides of the screen are indicators of what each pin should be assigned/connected to on the microcontroller. A big plus with this screen in comparison to others on the market is that it comes with connector pins connected to it already. Many people in my class had to learn how to solder and sloppily connected external pins to their other screens. That"s most certainly not a problem here! Additionally, this screen had an SD card, if i remember correctly, that allows for more functionality. The screen has a full range of colors and allows both text and manually imported sprites to be displayed onto it. I"m not too sure if that all deals with the drivers I mention later or the screen itself, but its most certainly a plus in its own aspect. The LCD is built well and at no moment in time was I scared about it breaking - I even remember throwing it in my backpack connected to a bunch of wires while rushing to class on multiple occasions.

The only complaint that I have with this screen is the lack of "drivers" that it has to display more complicated graphics. One specific example that I remember dealing with was that there is no horizontal orientation change feature. To display graphics horizontally, I had to rotate them in photoshop manually and import them into my program like that. This made things like positioning the sprites and graphics and, more importantly, edge detection more complicated as I had to account for the changed position basis (originally being the bottom left corner but being changed to the top left for the sprites when the screen itself is rotated).

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 1.8"TFT Touch Shield with Libraries, EXxamples.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.

Specification:Driver IC: ST7735RResolution: 128 x 160 pixelsFeatures:- Can help you to get rid of the Arduino serial monitor.- Some tests and provide UTFT library, AdaFruit Library and instruction on DropBox.- Tested with Latest Arduino 1.6.5.IO interface:1. RESET --directly to the microcontroller IO2. CS --directly to the microcontroller IO3. A0 --IO control registers select4. SDA --IO control data transmission5. SCL --IO control SPI bus6. BL--High Level 3.3V backlight onNote:Please contact us for documents and driver if you need. Please noted this LCD is 3.3V, which can not receive 5V signals from the Arduino, so please use a 1k series resistors between GPIO lines on a 5V arduino and this LCD, power this LCD with 5V but drive it with "level shifted resistor" GPIO lines.Besides, you could use mcifriend 2.8 inch TFT LCD library to get it to work, it will work fine with the Mega or Uno.

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.

In which “Hello, World!” is the text you want to display and the (x, y) coordinate is the location where you want to start display text on the screen.

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.
