tft lcd mega shield v2 2 schematic free sample

The TFT shows only a white and static screen with any example of the librery... I´m already change the parameters line with... "UTFT myGLCD(ILI9341_16, 38,39,40,41);" and "UTFT myGLCD(SSD1289, 38,39,40,41);"

I am using visual code with PlatformIO extension, and the library UTFT modified for ILI9341_16, becuase my supplier told me that this was the correct one.

In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.

The next example is controlling an RGB LED using these three RGB sliders. For example if we start to slide the blue slider, the LED will light up in blue and increase the light as we would go to the maximum value. So the sliders can move from 0 to 255 and with their combination we can set any color to the RGB LED,  but just keep in mind that the LED cannot represent the colors that much accurate.

As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.

Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.

I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.

After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.

So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels  down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.

Ok next is the RGB LED Control example. If we press the second button, the drawLedControl() custom function will be called only once for drawing the graphic of that example and the setLedColor() custom function will be repeatedly called. In this function we use the touch screen to set the values of the 3 sliders from 0 to 255. With the if statements we confine the area of each slider and get the X value of the slider. So the values of the X coordinate of each slider are from 38 to 310 pixels and we need to map these values into values from 0 to 255 which will be used as a PWM signal for lighting up the LED. If you need more details how the RGB LED works you can check my particular tutorialfor that. The rest of the code in this custom function is for drawing the sliders. Back in the loop section we only have the back button which also turns off the LED when pressed.

TFT Touch Shield V2.0 is a resistive touch screen, compatible with Arduino/Seeeduino/Arduino Mega/SAMD21 platforms. It can be used as display device or sketch pad. Compared with the previous version, 2.8""TFT Touch Shield V1.0, we upgraded the screen driver to a more professional chip, ILI9341 driver, providing different pin-saving SPI communication without sacrificing the data transmitting speed. Due to the communication method change, programs developed for the original version are needed for modification before being transplanted to the new version. With a SD card module integrated on this shield, this shield reserves capability for other expansions of your project.

We recommend using Seeed_Arduino_LCD with internal flash chips larger than 128k. If you have a smaller flash device, I recommend using the TFT_Touch_Shield_V2.

Step1. Download and Install Seeed_Arduino_LCD. if you don"t know how to install an Arduino library, please refer to the tutorial (HOW TO INSTALL AN ARDUINO LIBRARY).

This 2.0”LCD display adopts T7789V driver chip and has 320*240 color pixels (RGB565). It uses IPS TFT display and can display 18-bit color(16-bit is basically used). The module performs excellently in displaying color bitmap. Besides, there is an onboard MicroSD card slot for displaying more pictures. There are two connection ways for this module: pin headers and GDI. Only one fpc cable is needed when working with main-cotnrollers with GDI, which greatly reduces the complexity of wiring.

This is an example of commonly-used icons. 1. We use GIMP2 to convert these icons into codes for better display. 2. We provide some icons for you, Click here to find more"Click here to find more").

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (5" diagonal) bright (12 white-LED backlight) and colorfu 480x272 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional resistive touch panel attached on screen by default.

The shield is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up our library - you"ll have it running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Due/Mega 2560).

This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. You can connect more sensors, buttons and LEDs.

For 5 inch screen,the high current is needed.But the current of arduino uno or arduino mega board is low, an external 5V power supply is needed. Refer to the image shows the external power supply position on shield ER-AS-RA8875.

This is a versatile and Arduino/Seeeduino/Arduino Mega compatible resistive touch screen shield which can be used as display device, or sketch pad for user input/interface.

Compared with the previous version (2.8" TFT Touch Shield V1.0) we improved the screen driver with a professional chip (ILI9341) to provide the pin-saving SPI communication protocol without sacrificing the data transmission speed.

Circles isn"t the only thing our library can help you draw, we also have a lines, number, rectangle, and many more examples. Check those out as well to become a pro with the shield.

Function Description: The drawCircle function draws an empty circle with the center at the coordinates poX, and poY. The circle will be of radius r and the border color will be color. The color parameter is a 16-bit Red-Geen-Blue (RGB) integer, in the example code above the words YELLOW, CYAN, RED, and BLUE are defined as integers in the TFTv2.h file.

The TFT Touch Shield"s backlight is on by default since its control circuit is directly powered by the 5V pin. If, however, you wish to control the backlight"s on/off state using the Arduino Digital I/O pin 7, a simple modification will have to be made:

2. Notice that the ON terminal is soldered to the BACKLIGHT terminal as shown in the PCB figure below. Scrape off this connection, or use a soldering iron to remove it.

Now controlling the backlight"s state is as easy as controlling an LED, upload the following code to the Arduino board to see how to toggle the backlight every 500ms (1/2 second):

Combining Arduino and other shield modules, we make a mobile phone named Arduino Phone. Meanwhile, we printed a shell for it with the 3D printer. Although it"s not such fine as you think, even a little bit clunky, it"s still very cool. That is the point this is a cell phone made by ourselves.
