3.2 tft lcd ili9341 touch ssd1289 arduino pricelist

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (3.2" diagonal) bright (5 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional resistive touch panel with controller XPT2046 attached by default and a optional capacitive touch panel with controller FT6206 attached by default, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen and doesn"t require pressing down on the screen with a stylus and has nice glossy glass cover.

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).

Of course, we wouldn"t just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - we"ve written a full open source graphics library at the bottom of this page that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. We also have a touch screen library that detects x,y and z (pressure) and example code to demonstrate all of it. The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

If you"ve had a lot of Arduino DUEs go through your hands (or if you are just unlucky), chances are you’ve come across at least one that does not start-up properly.The symptom is simple: you power up the Arduino but it doesn’t appear to “boot”. Your code simply doesn"t start running.You might have noticed that resetting the board (by pressing the reset button) causes the board to start-up normally.The fix is simple,here is the solution.

Put the screen(3.2 inch screen schematic) into shield (TFT01-3.2 shield schematic) first, then connect the shield to Arduino, it is quite straight forward.

3)Download and install UTFT ,URTouch ,SdFat,UTFT_Buttons and UTFT_SdRaw library file from following link and copy them into Arduino library folder. ( i.e. D:\arduino ide\Arduino 1.6.9\libraries )

Download the test program (http://www.kookye.com/download/3.2inchscreen/3.2inchtouchscreentest.zip), upzip and open it,then choose the correct board and port.

You will see the code in each sketch: UTFT myGLCD(CTE32_R2, 38, 39, 40, 41).The first value of code refer to the mode of LCD screen. Please write CTE32_R2 or ILI9341_16 if you LCD screen is ILI9341; Please write CTE32 if you LCD screen is SSD1289;

When you use the others LCD screen from the others seller, you could check the PDF instruction in documentation file or open the UTFT.h file to find the correct code.The controller mode could be identifitied by the back mark as the following pictures.

Note: In the project of testing the SD card，please insert the SD card into the slot in back of the 3.2’’ LCD screen. The format of files in SD card must be the FAT32, you need to put the test files(i.e. ICONS.RAW,WAIT4GPS.RAW,SK45) into the SD card root directory.

Over the past year, I"ve ordered 47 of these SainSmart LCD displays. For a while, they had a good thing going, but in the Autumn of 2015, they changed their manufacturing and have utterly messed up this device. The first six that I ordered in the Summer of 2015 worked perfectly. But of the 41 devices that I"ve ordered after the change, 40% have failed right out of the box... 6 won"t power up at all, 4 have screen flicker, 2 the touch doesn"t work, 1 the LCD pixels were misaligned and 1 had a cracked screen. What happened? Besides utter lack of quality control (these displays were obviously never tested), SainSmart changed the LCD screen hardware. Instead of using the LCD screen that would fit properly on the TFT_320QVT PCB (see pictures), they chose a slightly thinner, narrower LCD screen that normally fits the TFT_320QDT PCB. (notice the one letter difference). The problem is that the new screen DOES NOT FIT properly into the pin holes on the PCB and has a nasty habit of falling off (see pics). They obviously realized this at the factory, and rather than re-ordering the correct screens, they just tried to force them to stay on with double sided tape. But that hasn"t worked well. Many of my screens had fallen off by the time I received them! But because I own a business that uses these things and I didn"t know at the time that I could find alternative suppliers for this part, my work-around was to glue them into the best position possible using a hot glue gun. What a pain! Moral of the story: Don"t order any of these from SainSmart LCDs until they have accepted they have screwed this up and fixed this problem. I suspect they will comment on this review once that has happened and I"ll make modifications to this review to let you know when the problem is fixed. Until then, BUYER BEWARE. And, any other SainSmart product that includes this 3.2" is very likely going to include this same problem - including the shield + LCD and Mega2560 + shield + LCD. That all said, when this thing works, it works really well. I am satisfied with resolution and the touch is responsive. I use it in the product that our company sells. Just don"t get it from Sainsmart - for now. There are alternative suppliers.A couple final technical notes:* The SD slot will not work with any SDHC cards. And no, you can"t reformat a larger SDHC card down to 2GB and get it to work. Won"t work. You can however get a 2GB or 4GB SD Card (not SDHC) and it"ll work fine. You may see some documentation suggesting a 2GB limitation, but it"s really 4GB as long as you don"t use a SDHC card. Did I mention, do not use SDHC? If you need to understand the difference, google "SD vs SDHC".* The screen IC driver comes in two flavors out there: SSD1289 and ILI9341. They both work, but the software configuration is slightly different. So, either use one or the other - or expect to somehow auto-detect which one connect to your Mega2560 (not possible directly) and then code for both possibilities. As far as I can tell, the SSD1289 is being phased out for the now more common ILI9341. I"ve ordered this device from a number of sites, but unfortunately they often list the item as SSD1289, but it arrives as a ILI9341. If you are new to this, my advice is to go with the ILI9341 driver. The UTFT library was updated in the Summer of 2016 to accommodate this newer driver. Another reason to pass on this Sainsmart device is that it uses the SSD1289 driver. How can you tell the difference? The model for SSD1289 is TFT_320QVT and the model for ILI9341 is TFT_320QVT_9341. Unfortunately, ads for these devices often have the wrong model number displayed!
