The VM800B development modules offer a hi-quality display system in an elegantly designed, form-fitted bezel that provides a fitted display and component board in a rugged, plastic enclosure. Offered in black or pearl colors, this display sub-system provides the engineer a low priced option which can shorten development time while enabling a production finished look. These FTDI Basic modules are designed to control 3.5”, 4.3” or 5” TFT displays.

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.

The prototype was built by plugging the ESP32 and displays into breadboards and using jumper wires. This is convenient for initial experimentation but is prone to poor connection especially if moved about. It the eyes are to be used as part of a costume then soldering all connections is recommended.

Normally the TFT chip select line for a single display is defined within a user_setup file of the TFT_eSPI library, however when using the library with two displays the chip selects must be controlled by the sketch, thus you must NOT define the TFT_CS pin in the TFT_eSPI library setup files. Instead, the chip selects (CS) must be defined in the "config.h" tab of the Animated_Eyes_2 sketch.

The TFT_eSPI library uses "user_setup" files to define all the parameters for the display, processor and interfaces, for the Animated_Eyes_2 sketch the "Setup47_ST7735.h" file was used with the wiring as shown above.

The displays used for testing were 128x128 ST7735 displays, the TFT_eSPI library setup file may need to be changed as these displays come in many configuration variants.

I have had success with the same setup getting jpeg images and displaying them on the screen. I have also run the SD library examples with success. With this I believe that my hardware isn"t the issue.

the code I am using is below - pulled from the AnimatedGIF fork you have made and is a slightly modified version of the adafruit_gfx_sdcard.ino example sketch.

Simply create attractive layouts without writing lots of code. Download our free software and experience how easy it is to create perfect looking layouts. Mix graphics and text freely, import BMP, JPEG, GIF and animated GIF images, select landscape or portrait mode. It provides the ideal platform for development of interactive controls. For example, a virtual keyboard, analogue rotary instrument or bar graphs can be generated on the screen with just a few simple commands.

The display also provides acoustic feedback into an 8 ohm speaker. Sounds ranging from simple clicks, notes or jingles acting as warning or status messages. TrueType fonts are easy imported with the free development software. The onboard 4MB memory stores images, animations and macros. Text can be mixed with graphics, pictures and gif animations.

Pre-integrated with all driving electronics, flash memory, backlight drivers, I/O and optional touch-screen functionality, the display is ready to be connected by serial, SPI or I²C interface to the host processor or when using a simple level converter USB, RS-232 or RS-485 is available. Additionally the unit features two analogue inputs, 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs.

An evaluation kit EA EVAL-eDIPTFT70 is available to help your EA eDIPTFT57 or eDIPTFT70 development started. The evaluation kit has USB, RS232, RS485 interface for connection to the free development software on the PC.

The EA DOG display family spans character and graphic displays with the formats of 1×8, 2×16, 3×16, 102×64, 132×32, 128×64 and 160×104. These displays are available in a variety of colours by combination of the display glass and 5 different colour backlights or a full RGB backlight. The overall height is only 2mm or 6.5 mm with LED backlight. Supply voltage +3.3V to 5V for the alphanumeric displays and +3.3V for graphic displays. For all displays a 4 wire analogue touch-screen is available.

This is a small graphics library, specifically aimed at ATtiny microcontrollers, for the variety of small colour TFT displays available at low cost from suppliers like Adafruit, AliExpress, or Banggood:

It"s an updated version of my Tiny TFT Graphics Library. This latest version of the library supports both the classic ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny85, and the new 0-series, 1-series, and 2-series ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny402. Like the original library it allows you to plot points, draw lines, draw filled rectangles, and plot characters and text with an optional scale factor, in 16-bit colour.

This version adds the ability to plot outline rectanges, and outline and filled circles. I"ve included demo curve-plotting and histogram-plotting programs that adjust to fit any display.

This library supports TFT displays that use an SPI interface and require four pins to drive the display. This leaves one pin free on an 8-pin chip such as the ATtiny85 or ATtiny402. If you need more pins choose a larger chip, such as the ATtiny84 or ATtiny404.

Unlike my Compact TFT Graphics Library which uses standard Arduino SPI calls, this library uses direct I/O pin manipulations. This means that you can use any assignment of pins to the four I/O lines needed by the display, and makes it about twice as fast as one using SPI calls. I"ve also added support for some additional displays, so it now supports 16 different TFT displays.

So provided you set all the pins to their disabled state at startup, the display routines can simply toggle the appropriate pins to enable or disable them.

The differences between each family of processors are handled by constants to define the pin assignments, and preprocessor macros to define the bit manipulations. If you use the circuits given below you won"t need to change anything, apart from specifying which display you"re using.

The ClearDisplay() routine has been optimised further by realising that we don"t need to keep setting the mosi bit, since to clear the display it is always zero, so the routine only needs to toggle the sck bit the appropriate number of times. I"m grateful to Thomas Scherer for suggesting this.

This library will work with displays based on the ST7735 which supports a maximum display size of 162x132, or the ST7789 and ILI9340/1 which support a maximum display size of 320x240. It includes parameters for the following colour TFT displays:

* These Adafruit displays conveniently all have the same edge-connector layout, so you can make a prototyping board or PCB that will take any of them, such as my Universal TFT Display Backpack.

Some of the AliExpress displays include a LDO 3.3V regulator, but not logic-level translation, so I recommend only interfacing them to a processor running from 3.3V.

The Adafruit displays all include an LDO 3.3V regulator and logic-level translation, so can be safely interfaced to processors powered from either 5V or 3.3V.

On the AliExpress red 160x128 display you need to connect the backlight pin to Vcc to turn it on. This doesn"t seem to be necessary with the other displays.

The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same ST7735, ST7789, ILI9340/1 driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.

The display needs to be connected to the microcontroller via four I/O lines: MOSI, SCK, CS, and DC. You can use any pins for these, but they should all be in the same port. You need to specify the port pin numbers of the pins you are using at the start of the Tiny TFT Graphics Library listing.

The 33kΩ pullup resistor from the display"s CS pin is optional; it is only needed on the AliExpress displays, and holds the chip select high to prevent the display from flickering while programming the ATtiny85.

The different displays are catered for by seven constants which specify the size of the display, the offsets relative to the area supported by the display driver, whether the display is inverted, the rotation value, and the order of the colours; for example:

By default the parameters give the correct orientation assuming you"re using the display with the header pins along the top, except in the case of the larger displays which have the header pins along the shorter edge, in which case the header pins are assumed to be on the left.

To check or adjust the values for each display you can run the TestChart() program, which draws a one-pixel border around the display area, and plots a red "F" to show the orientation:

The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.

The library includes basic graphics routines for plotting points and drawing lines. These work on a conventional coordinate system with the origin at lower left. For example, on the 80x160 display:

The LT768 Industrial Serial TFT Panel Solution is based on LeveTop"s LT768x TFT Graphics Acceleration Controller, combined with the conventional MCU, which also includes the integrated software developed by LeveTop. This solution helps manufacturer of the TFT panel maker, the solution developer, or the end manufacture to according display functional requirements, fast planning of hardware specifications. And free use of the entire set of LeveTop"s development tools to complete the display of its products on the TFT screen application, to avoid lengthy program development to handle the contains of TFT display.

LT768 Industrial Serial Screen scheme provides 60 control instructions, and 2 development modes, users can use the Graphic tool - UI_Editor in graphic editing mode, or Integration Compiler - UartTFT_tool in text editing way to develop the display function of TFT panel.

After the compilation is completed through the SPI Flash Programmer, to burn pictures, font, GIF animation, music wav file and other integrated Bin files to SPI Flash, and then by the user with USB transfer RS232 adapter. Then through the simulation communication Software - Uart_Debug to simulate.

In this scheme, if LT768x is combined with low and middle grade MCU, which can easily realize TFT color screen display application products with the highest cost performance, such as home appliances, industrial control, electronic instruments, medical equipment, man-machine interface, industrial equipment, testing equipment, charging pile, multi-functional transaction machine, elevator instruction and check-in machine and so on.
