Skills required for assembly - due to the fact that some of the pads on the SMD components are under the components, you cannot just use a soldering iron. You will need to use a hot plate or oven. We will send you a stencil as well as the kits so solder paste can be applied accurately to the boards.

Using the 26 way header on the board, it can plug directly onto a Raspberry Pi computer and connects to the RPi"s 0V, 5V and TX pins. (26 way Female header is not supplied with the display and must be bought seperately)

The display is a 160x128 pixel TFT colour display with 18-bit colour, a micro-SD card slot for reading/writing data and images, and an Arduino UNO ATmega328 chipset on the back of the board to control it. As well as displaying text, the serial graphic TFT allows you to draw lines, circles and boxes, change the foreground and background colours and display bitmap images from the SD card socket.

One has the matching pinout to connect directly to a Sparkfun FTDI Basic breakout boards for programming, and is also used for the serial connection to any microcontroller.

The other is a 26 pin Raspberry Pi header. This allows the unit to plug directly onto a Raspberry Pi and connects to the 0V, 5V and TX pins on the Raspberry Pi computer. (26 way female header not included - click here for suitable headers)

The ATmega328 chip on the board is loaded with the Arduino UNO bootloader, so you can easily update the serial firmware for driving the screen or even use it as a standalone Arduino board with built in TFT display. The serial firmware sketch uses up 24k of the available 32k on-board so there is 8k left for your programming.

The ATmega328 uses SPI to communicate with TFT display so is superfast. We have used the excellent 1.8in TFT screen from Adafruit which has a wide viewing angle (unlike STN displays), high-quality colour and a high refresh rate. A full graphics library and example code for Arduino is freely available (see links at the bottom of page).

A micro-SD card slot is provided on the board. This can be used to load bitmap graphics for display on the screen but is not limited to that function. It can be used by the Arduino for any file input/output.

Commands are sent to the Serial TFT display by sending the ESC character (decimal 27, hex 0x1B), then the command sequence and then finally decimal 255 (0xFF) to terminate the command. (See example programs at bottom of page)

This is a short Application Note about how to use ST7735R Controller based TFT screen with RaspberryPi Universal Expansion Boardand RaspberryPi. More information about the screen can be found in the list of my Peripheral Boards.

Features:This is a 1.8 inch color screen that can display fullcolors, suitable for electronic enthusiasts and students to use in development boards such as arduino and raspberry pi.

The TFT LCD display can be directly inserted into arduino, which is convenient and quick. Using SPI communication mode, only 4 IOs are needed to illuminate the display, and the SD card slot is convenient for function expansion.
