tft display sd card factory
A micro sd card module is preferred in cases you need to store large amounts of data and other information for your Arduino project. The EEPROM of the Arduino microcontroller has a limited storage capacity and is specific with the format and nature of data it can hold. This makes it not the best for storing data like text, CSV, audio, video or image files.
Before inserting the micro SD card into the module and hooking it up to the Arduino, make sure it is properly formatted and is using the FAT16 or FAT32 file system. Most new SD cards come when already pre-formatted with a FAT file system but it’s always good to do it yourself to be certain.
The SD card module uses the SPI communication protocol and is therefore connected to the Arduino hardware SPI pins. The SPI pins depend on the type of Arduino used but in this case we are using the UNO whose SPI pins are from pin 10 to 12.
The connections are done as shown below. Make sure you don’t change the order of connection for the SCK, MOSI and MISO pins because they are declared in that order within the SD.h library.
The CardInfo sketch will not write any data to the card but it tells you if the card is recognized and also displays some information about it. This information is shown in the serial monitor like shown below.
After running the CardInfo sketch, you can run other sketches like the ReadWrite sketch so that you can learn how to use the various functions for reading and writing data to the SD card.
After setting up the micro SD card module for use with Arduino, we can now be able to store data like images in the sd card and display them on a TFT LCD screen. The best images to display are bitmap images so make sure you convert your images to bitmap format before storing them into the SD card. You can use an online image convertor.
Another important aspect you should keep in mind when converting your images is the size of the images. This depends on the size of the screen you are using, for example am using a 128×128 pixels screen therefore my images should be that size. Also make sure the images don’t exceed 60kb so that the can easily be processed by the microcontroller to be displayed on the TFT screen.
I found the TFT screen and Uno on Banggood.com about a month ago and over the weekend I was messing with the pair and found the tftbmp draw code in the demo.. I extended it with the ability to read any bmp file on the SD card.. so all you do is put your bitmaps on the SD and plug it in.. Having to add/edit/recompile/reload the Uno everytime is BS... Here is my code:
The component TFT supports a 2.8 inch TFT display with a resolution of 240*320 pixels.The display is not soldered on the board, but there is a 14 pin connector for a TFT display. The ILI9341 has been tested.
There are four sample projects for the Arduino IDE which could be downloaded: TFT-Box3D (download here), TFT-Graphic-Test (download here), TFT-HelloWorld (download here) and TFT-HowToUseFonts (download here). And there are two examples for the Arduino IDE for using the touch functionality which could be downloaded: TFT-TouchBtn (download here) and TFT-TouchDraw (download here).
There are two dip switches for the component: SW311 and SW314. If you want to use the TFT display all switches on SW311 have to be on on. If you additonally want to use the touchpad of the display all switch of SW314 have to be on. The following two tables shows the functions and the potential conflicts with other components

I"ve combined the BLE Shield and the OLED (SSD1351) TFT display and have this working very nicely - taking data from the Bluefruit iPhone APP - then displaying different things on the screen.
I"m more a software guy than Hardware - and need to know if I can use the wiring I currently have ....or modify easily to do what works now PLUS read the card.
WARNING: BTT does not officially provide MKS TFT hardware support. MKS TFT is maintained by open source contributors and BTT does not bear any risk of MKS TFT hardware using this firmware.
In case your mainboard provides EXP1 and EXP2, you have to connect 2 ribbon cables connecting EXP1 and EXP2 of the mainboard to EXP1 and EXP2 of the TFT. In the Marlin firmware of your mainboard, make sure that ONLY REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER is activated in Configuration.h and that all other controllers are Deactivated (especially CR10_STOCKDISPLAY).
In case you have an "E3" mainboard which provides a single EXP connector, you have to connect 1 ribbon cable connecting EXP of the mainboard to EXP3 of the TFT. In case your TFT does not provide an EXP3 connector but only two 10pin connectors (TFT24 v1.1 for example) you will need a "Y-split" cable with one 10pin connector on one side (for the mainboard) and two 10pin connectors on the other side (for the TFT). In the Marlin firmware of your mainboard, make sure that ONLY CR10_STOCKDISPLAY is activated in Configuration.h and that all other controllers are Deactivated (especially REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER).
Any binary file for an MKS firmware (e.g. MKS_TFT28_V4.0.27.x.bin) MUST be renamed to MKSTFT*.bin (e.g. MKSTFT28.bin, MKSTFT35.bin etc.) in order it can be recognized and installed by the TFT
A configuration can be uploaded without the need to upload the firmware or the TFT folder again, as long as the firmware and the configuration file are from the same version (see Configuration Update).
NOTE: For devices with USB flash drive support, it is possible to update the icons, fonts, config and the language files from a USB flash drive in the same way it is done through an SD card. However, the firmware can only be updated using an SD card.
Copy the precompiled BIGTREE_TFT*_V*.*.*.bin or your self compiled firmware, plus the TFT* folder of your preferred theme along with config.ini to the root of a blank SD card not greater than 8GB and formatted as FAT32:
Optionally, copy one or more language_*.ini file(s) onto the SD card. Doing so, it will allow you to switch between English and the uploaded language(s) from the Language menu present in the TFT firmware. We recommend to upload the minimum amount of languages to keep the memory usage low. The language_*.ini file can be edited to change the text shown on the TFT:
Place the SD card with BIGTREE_TFT*_V*.*.*.bin, the TFT* folder, config.ini and the optional language_*.ini file(s) into the TFT"s SD card reader and reset your TFT (or optionally - power cycle your printer) to start the update process:
For devices with USB flash drive support, it is possible to update the icons, fonts, config and the language files from a USB flash drive in the same way it is done through an SD card. However, the firmware can only be updated using an SD card
Unless the default hard coded settings have been properly configured (e.g. a self compiled firmware was installed), after an hard reset the TFT typically needs to be reconfigured with the proper config.ini file (see Configuration Update)
When the default hard coded settings are properly configured for a TFT and the TFT"s basic function such as surfing on the menus is working, in case of issues the user can opt to apply only a configuration reset (soft reset) instead of an hard reset.
A BIGTREE_TFT*_V*.*.*.bin file will be generated in the hidden .pio\build\BIGTREE_TFT*_V*_* folder. Follow the update process outlined in the Firmware Update section above to update your TFT to the latest version
TIP: In case there is a problem compiling the TFT firmware try to restart VSC. If this does not help and you are using macOS, delete the packages and platforms folders usually present under the folder /Users/***username***/.platformio/.
All the precompiled firmwares available on Copy to SD Card root directory to update folder are compiled to support the standard (horizontal) screen orientation.
In case the TFT needs to be placed with a vertical orientation (e.g. 90°), the firmware needs to be compiled with the portrait mode support and installed following the procedure below:
OctoPrint, ESP3D, Pronterface etc, connected to a TFT"s serial port, can browse files on both the TFT"s and mainboard"s media devices and start a print that will be handled by the host (TFT or mainboard). The following actions and the related triggering G-codes are currently supported by the TFT fw:
OctoPrint, ESP3D, Pronterface etc, connected to a TFT"s or mainboard"s serial port, can host a print (print handled by the host) and optionally can trigger some actions to the TFT sending specific G-codes. The following actions and the related triggering G-codes are currently supported by the TFT fw:
Only on print end or cancel (with triggers print_end or cancel) the TFT Printing menu is finalized (statistics available etc.) and unlocked (the menu can be closed).
With the exception of TFT70, the maximum number of displayable layer count is 999 (there"s no space to display layer number and count if the layer count is above 999)
The most recent version of the standard bigtreetech TFT firmware has built in support for RepRap firmware. The pre-built images have this enabled by default.
The TFT35 E3 V3.0 has 3 cables to connect to the mainboard. Two 10 pin ribbon cables and one 5 pin serial cable. The 2 ribbon cables connect to the EXP1 and the EXP2 connections on both the TFT35 E3 V3.0 and the MKS mainboards.
NOTE: On the MKS mainboards there is an issue that involves at least the MKS GEN_L, MKS SGEN, and MKS SGEN_L models. The EXP1 and EXP2 connections have the socket shell installed wrong way around. The notch that indexes the cable should be facing towards the mainboard. If you get a blank screen on the TFT35 E3 V3.0 touchscreen after connecting the two EXP cables and turning the printer on, turn printer off and disconnect the 10 pin cables from either the touch screen or the mainboard and using small diagonal cutters trim the tab down to be as close to flush as you can get on both cables (and only on one end) and plug them back in with the trimmed tab now facing the mainboard.
In case filament data is not present in the G-code, the filament length data is calculated during print. Length is calculated regardless of using the TFT USB, TFT SD or the onboard media. Calculations are done in both absolute or relative extrusion mode. Filament data takes into account the flow rate also but with a caveat. It has to be the same flow rate during the entire time of the printing, because the end result is calculated based on the flow rate at the time the print has finished. If flow rate changes during the print the results will not be accurate anymore.

The 2.2″ version is perfect for displaying complex information due to the 320×240 pixel area. Power consumption is reasonable. Be aware of the 3.3V levels since 5 volts will destroy your display (sooner or later). Most ARM boards will come with 3.3V levels anyway and even Atmel ATmega will work on 3.3 volts (but with lower frequency)
nice unit. got the 2.2″ version for my signal generator project (based on the AD9850 module i got from here also). clean and clear, very happy with it.. got it working with a couple of different libraries, mainly Adafruit and UTFT.
2.2” display – Nice colors, easy integration with Arduino Uno and Teensy++2.0 . Only 3 stars because of the limited angle of view and issues with the edge most lines.
