Surely the TFT_MISO line will tri-state properly. After all, it works fine on ILI9341. You should disable the SPIREAD_EN bit (7) after you have used SPIREAD_CMD (0xFB) to read an internal register.

It should be easy enough to read the ID of the ILI9488 on the Red board. Or to do some write-only diagnostics to distinguish it from RM68140, R61581, ILI9481, ILI9486, ...

I don"t actually have a display at present. I purchased a 7in one some months ago. It had an LT7381 controller and was supplied with a Hunda LT7381 library for Arduino and some basic display design software. However, I couldn"t get the hardware to work despite it being described as Arduino compatible. As it turned out, it also didn"t display anything when used with the supplied USB adaptor and design software for the PC, so it may have been faulty anyway. I posted something at the time but the controller is quite new and there was not much feedback. I ended up sending it back and getting a refund although it still cost me to send it back to china.

The reason I posted was because the project is now at the stage where the LCD display really needs to be added and I intended to get advice before making another purchase. In the meantime I have been working on the project using a 20x4 display.

Thank you for that information. Since I am using an ESP8266, it sounds like I need to look for a board that uses SPI for the display. From what I can tell, it seems that some of the cheap ones from china only use SPI only for the SD card which further confuses things.

I don"t posses an Arduino shield which is why I was trying to ascertain whether I need something like that. What is their purpose? A lot of photos show the display plugged into one and then into typically a Mega 2560. I don"t understand what the purpose of the shield is? Is it just a convenient way to provide a means of fitting the board to an Arduino with level shifting? SPI needs only 4 wires. Can"t these be connected directly to the ESP SPI pins?

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 Arduino board has a wide variety of compatible displays that you can use in your electronic projects. In most projects, it’s very useful to give the user some sort of feedback from the Arduino.

With the TFT display you can display colorful images or graphics. This module has a resolution of 480 x 320. This module includes the SD card socket and SPI FLASH circuit.

This is a tiny display with just 1 x 0.96 Inch. This display has a black background, and displays characters in white. There are other similar displays that can show the characters in other colors.

After years of on/off tinkering with Arduino I finally bought ten of these to standardize and replace my aging collection of taped-up/hacked-on Genuinos and brand X knockoffs.

I love the USB Micro/Mini/whatever instead of the needlessly big USB-B metal shielding that would short out on the bottom of whatever shield was installed on classic Arduinos.

It"s great and made in the USA. Got this for a good discount during the arduino day sale. It still was twice as much as a cheap eBay clone, but it"s four times as reliable. Sparkfun is a company I would highly recommend. Good customer service and friendly staff.

This seems to work fine as a cheap Arduino alternative. Getting the FTDI working with Mac was a pretty big hassle, though. Once that part was accomplished, everything works fine.

I bought this to replace a genuine UNO that I had to "donate" to a robotics project that my wife and I ran for her elementary school. This is not my first RedBoard either. I think they are just great.

I didn"t know anything about Arduino or programming before I bought this, but in less than a week, thanks to all the freely available code out there, I was able to connect two analogs and one digital sensor - piezo, FlexiForce, and 9DOF - and am already generating real-time data for a school project. I still don"t understand some (most?) of the quirks of the Arduino language, but I am assimilating it almost unconsciously. As for the board, you really can"t beat it for size, price, and functionality. I also give a tip of the hat to SerialChart for providing free access to their serial data monitoring software. It"s simple and it does what I need for now without fighting with MatLab or other software. Happy to be a new member of the community.

The RedBoard did what I needed. This was my first Sparkfun project and when I had some questions, your technical support was available via email and answered my questions within about 24 hours with good answers. It has been easy to work with. The tutorials are very helpful. I"m not an engineer and I"ve been able to do what I wanted so far. I"m now getting in a more sophisticated project and hopefully it will work as well.

My first purchase was the Inventor’s Kit which includes the RedBoard. I decided to follow some YouTube online lessons to introduce myself to basic electronics. This kit was recommended. I am very happy with SparkFun online support of their products which allows me to quickly install software on my Mac for development. Unfortunately, I did not do well in coding one sketch I created with regard to using the AREF pin. I had been forewarned about Magic Blue Smoke territory before I took the plunge. Magic Blue Smoke won & I learned something! Ordered 2nd RedBoard and progressing along well. Very happy with this product!

Whilst arduino and other arduino replicas work out of the box with Mac - this does not - I understand it is possible - but much more fiddly than I was expecting.

The isolation of the USB port from the processor was the primary factor in my choice. Several similar products commit interface components to the board design that limit the flexibility of the product(i.e. compass, accelerometer and/or gyro). The simplicity of the board allows the installed program to be easily monitored and/or adapted to desired changes in interface hardware. The surface mount components allow for a lower profile for adapter boards and low risk to accidental short circuits. For interest in Arduino-like design/development this is the best choice for flexibility. I have used several micro controller products over the years and feel this is a good design choice.

I have always been a fan of Spark Fun and Arduino. Use them on several prototype projects. These boards are well built and provide great functionality. Arduino is a great development platform.

First Arduino board and no complaints at all. Integrates easily with the Arduino IDE and was able to start working right away. Plus the Sparkfun tutorials, documentation and codebase is really useful.

It seems to work well and the only complaint I have is that it seems to take longer to program this unit compared to some other devices such as the Nano and Mini for some reason.

I have had a couple of these boards running continuously for over two years. One red board is in an outdoor weather station and it"s been running well through winter freezes and summer heat. Another does continuous readings from a geiger counter to monitor background radiation levels. (Looking nervously toward the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power plant.)

I"ve used red boards in several other projects and I have had no complaints. I can also vouch for the fact they run fine at background radiation levels up to 0.25 uSv/hour, about double the normal rate, for a couple of days. (Again looking nervously toward the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power plant.)

The Sparkfun Red board is beautiful and works totally compatible with the Arduino. I like to use the board for my advanced experiments, and when you have many Arduinos, you know that the beautiful red one is the one that you are working with at the moment.

Awesome board, like it better than a real Arduino Uno because of the SMT design (no more shorting of PHT leads on the underside of the board). Looks great with the SFE black acrylic arduino and breadboard holder. I also really like that Sparkfun went to the trouble of putting colored leds on the board (power is green, tx/rx are red/yellow, and pin 13 is a cool blue!!) Yeah, I would rather have a micro-b port than its current mini-b, and I"m not a big fan of the tiny SMD reset button, but those are very minor issues.

This is a product that will allow one to get a bot up and running in short order as the support documentation and the Arduino IDE are very clear and easy to use. The fact that many shields and complementary boards are available to it only enhances it"s attractiveness for use.

Works as well or better than any other Arduino board that I have used. I like the fact that the supply voltage can be between 7 and 15 volts. That"s a wider range than for some other brand boards that I"ve used.

Though I do have previous programming experience, I have never done much with Arduino. However, the helpful tutorials and many example codes were incredibly useful, and within just a couple days of working on my project, I had completed it. I definitely recommend buying this microcontroller whether you"re a beginner or whether you"ve programmed before.

The standard Uno is to spec. The spec has an issue. The issue is the size of the USB connector. The mini connector on the RedBoard was what I needed for several projects that required a low-profile, i.e., RFID project where all the guts had to fit inside a standard electrical utility box so it would all fit into a wall. You say, why not just use an Arduino Mini? Well, I want to take advantage of all the great shields that are in the world that fit the Uno, some of which actually short out against the larger USB connector metal case. Anyway, I think this is a brilliant design improvement.

I was able to quickly set this device with the help of my son. He used one in school which got me interested. Ive been programming for work for the past 10 yesrs so its pretty easy to do basic things or find the code on the internet. I"ve been able to make a display and a countdown timer. With my son"s help we"ve figured out how to use a reed switch and light up different LEDs. End state is a tchometer and speedometer combo for my 1976 RD400. Having fun along the way is a plus.

I am teaching another round of Intro to Programming using the Arduino classes at the K5COW Cowtown Amateur Radio Club in Fort Worth, TX. The RedBoard makes an ideal platform to begin learning to program. The students in the class quickly progress from blinking the LED, to sounding a piezo beeper, to sending their name and/or radio callsign in Morse Code, to displaying buttons on an attached TFT color touchscreen display, to sampling the outside world & displaying real-time status on the TFT color touchscreen display. Thank you for making this product available for purchase. For anyone looking for a quality Arduino UNO equivalent, I would highly recommend the SparkFun RedBoard as an excellent choice !!
