tft lcd hy28b read lcd in stock

Update - fbtft has now been included in the latest raspbian image and uses Device Tree - see this thread on how to configure the very latest raspbian os

This means that the console output goes to the TFT display much sooner into the boot sequence. Also he has created a ready-made image for you to download so that you do not need to go through the configuration procedure below

This new version 2 board was required because the original HY28A display has been discontinued and replaced by the HY28B. Although no major performance improvements exist, it is wired differently, so required a new pcb layout. The display board now uses the ili9325 control chip and also the touch panel is mounted 180 degrees out compared to the HY28A.

You can use an IDC connector which crimps onto a ribbon cable to connect wires/ribbon cable to the LCD (see http://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=83M0013 for example). If you only need to connect to the LCD data and control pins you don"t need that many connections and you could use SIL sockets (www.mantech.co.za/Stock.aspx?Query=SOCK+SIL+STR+HOUSED+2.54and) but then you"ll need to solder wires to the socket pins. You can also use SIL housing (http://www.mantech.co.za/Stock.aspx?Query=housing+SIL+2.54and) but this requires that you crimp wires on terminals, not all that easy without a proper crimping tool. Perhaps the easiest would be to get hold of an old IDE hard drive ribbon connector (http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/i/ide.htm), I think it should fit.

I suggest you try and find a tutorial/code/description for your specific LCD board, because the LCD controller chip is only rated to work with input voltages up to 3.3V. Some boards put in voltage shift IC"s which makes them compatible with the Arduino 5V output. There are also different data transfer settings (8 bit, 16 bit, SPI). If you only push 8 bit data but the controller is configured for 16 bit data you will have an obvious problem. If it is configured for 8 bit transfer, you need to know whether you must connect to DB0-DB7 or DB8-DB15. I have an LCD board which is configured for 8 bit transfer, but have to use pins DB8-DB15.

This is the step that contains my actual learning experience. The ready made image is not tailored to any specific display. So, you will have to add this information to two files on the SD card yourself. You can either do this on the host pc you already used to flash your card, or you can do it directly on your (still headless) RPi using ssh.

HY28B para colocar meu hf modelo RS918 porem depois de estalado  quando ligo ele fica todo branco  gostar de saber se term que fazer algumas alteracoes no display

My mod firmware, like the original UHSDR firmware, supports displays with a resolution of 320x240, 480x320 and 640x480. As for the hardware, I"m still working on the RF board of my "russian clone". As expected, his UI board will support HY28B and HY32D displays, but now I can’t tell you anything specific about connecting different displays, sorry - I haven’t done prototyping yet. You"d better contact the head of the UHSDR group, Andreas DF8OE:

I still want to use a 5" display with my RS-918 and your firmware. I need to decide what kind of interface cable/pins I should order with the display. I intend to use this display: https://www.buydisplay.com/5-inch-tft-lcd-display-capacitive-touchscreen-ra8875-controller-800x480 . Can you confirm:

SSB filters do not require changes. I add CW filters with a width of 200 and 100 Hz at the request of one comrade. And the whole project with the finalization of the UHSDR firmware is purely commercial, although everything is laid out openly. I just want the firmware of my future commercial mcHF-Amber clone to be as good as the hardware. Details will be ready to disclose at the end of summer. 73!

HY28B Adapter - the same 2.8" TFT LCD w/Touch module adapted to replace the Character LCD on a PSoC 5LP Development board. Other uses, such as connecting to other boards via a ribbon cable, can be implemented.

as you know (?) I"m very interested in using a touch screen together with the Raspi. This feature should be very interesting for choosing / starting scenes, sequences, ... already finished before at the PC.

At the moment I do so by using the web interface via smartphone and __Virtual Console__. That"s great already, but it would be nice if one could control that from the Raspi directly...

So, before buying one, carefully read the instructions to understand if eventually they will work in the QLC+ image. Or just point me to the instructions and I could tell if they will be OK.

Using the RPi along with QLC+ as a standalone solution (with the help of a TFT) would be nice, as there were no need for WiFi (router) at all (to use the web interface)!

Preparing a light show (more or less) off-line on a PC is very handy... Transferring such a project onto the RPi is already solved by your development... Controlling this light show via touchscreen would be very useful too.

In relation to this topic, could there be, or is there already a way to only show the Virtual Console? With these small touch screens it would be great to have this option and considering you keep mentioning that the Pi isn"t really meant for project editing anyway, some of the project editing features seem to be in the way on the Pi. I apologies in advance if this has already been brought up elsewhere!

Hello Patrik. Just to let you know that we do have now Lcd’s in stock but if you still need mcHF kit without display please email me at djchrismarc@genieprojects.co.uk so we can make custom invoice for your purchase.

I bought version 0.4 in 2016 and bought all the components including the LCD display. thus, having not yet assembled the rtx, is it possible to order only the two blank PCB version 0.6.3?

I have the tranceriver version 0.5. A HY28B model screen has broken down, I bought an identical model screen 2 years ago, and now that the test is broken, blank LCD. I have done several hours of testing with the other screen and all the work in bathroom. How would we do to get a new LCD that works well? Let’s see if there is any solution. Shipping is to Spain. Thank you

I wanted to say that I have the broken LCD, and one that I bought in another kit, when I put it on my MCHF it has a blank screen. All my work in vain. What solution can we give? can you send me another one?

Any word on when it will be ready? I was about to drop the money on a 0.7 kit when stock ran out. If it is going to be months more I may scream and drop the kilobuck+ on an IC-7200, which seems to have similar features + a 100W output.

I was wondering if the mcHF 0.6 components kit has the SMD components soldered on already. I assume (and hope) the answer is no, so that I will get to do some SMD soldering!

Hi, I just received my v0.6 boards and components last week, and have begun assembly of the UI board. I am wondering about the recommended LCD, where do I source one? What are the options

Hi Chris, I obtained an unstarted v0.5 kit from Israel. I then managed to install the LCD upside-down. Desoldering and removal has caused quite a bit of damage to LCD lands and tracks on the UI board. What options are open to me? Are there any v0.5 UI kit boards available on their own? Or even a v0.6 if it will still work?

Can I order just the U1 board from the surface mounted kit with the LCD? I got both boards together and U1 programmed but the LCD was bad and of course I had soldered it in. Got it out with only two traces ripped up and it is probably salvageable but.

I see that you are no longer offering the LCD as a part. Is it still included in the full kit? Also is there a simple way to determine what if any mods apply to the current kit?

Yes, two boards (UI and RF) with all SMD parts installed in the factory – by pick and place machine, then wave soldering. Also in the kit a LCD plus two plastic bags with extra parts – mostly through hole that you need to solder.

I have the boards from a former order from you and the display from ebay. I have read that you are out of boards and display. Does this mean you could send a full kit minus boards and displays? If yes, I would be interested to get one full-kit-minus-boards-and-display at a somewhat reduced price.

If you have any kits available please send it (since I have already paid for the international shipping, but if not, please refund the shipping and I will try to get one when you have more available (can you please place me on the “list” to get one in the future ?

I just ordered your complete mcHF kit with international shipping but it seems that you have already sold out of the radio’s, but I did successfully pay for the shipping.

You are not supposed to solder a header socket for the LCD, it is not part of the BOM and has never been. In theory you can solder one, keep in mind those are very expensive due to the non standard pitch, also your UI board will no longer fit in the 3D case. But if you make your own case, then you can use it. Soon i will list some RF packs only for sale. Check my page from time to time (also i post on Twitter).

I have ordered UI Board Kit and RF PCB several minutes ago. I’m surprised about the wonderful project and hope to read something about new features in future.

Hi, you can probably use different LCD, but will not match the UI board and the front panel. In theory you can add any LCD with QVGA resolution and similar size, and just update the LCD driver to support it. If you want it just as it is, please wait maybe another week, i will have the LCDs back in stock. 73

Dear sir, I’m new in the ham biz. Your project seems to beawesome and Exactly what I’m looking for as an underbudget beginner. I’d like to know if these 3 parts (2 pcb’s and a lcd) are all I need to build the transceiver? Is there a full kit available with the exact instructions?

You can order directly from China, np. Make sure you move the jumper before soldering the LCD to the UI board(need 16 bit mode). I do embedded development and Reverse Engineering for a living.

Just orderred for RF PCB + UI PCB + HY28B LCD. My PayPal transaction # 6KP04308DP576410H dated Dec 15, 2014. I can source for UI, but can you suggest where I can get RF PCB components from a single source or do you supply? Thank you

For soldering iron i use ERSA i-con nano, as for hot air, look on ebay for cheap Chinese ones – any that allow temperature and flow regulation with LCD will do.

I am a ham radio operator from India. I would like to get two sets of PCBS and LCD displays. Is it possible for you to send to me by courier ( FedEx or similar so that speedy delivery is possible)

I have read that by carefully selecting the mixer switching chips it is possible to achieve 50 and 70 Mhz. This will also require the more expensive SI570 versions that can go higher than 160 Mhz. From software point of view this is 10 mins coding, but for VHF you need much better front end, pre-amps, filtering, etc. Also i see in KX3 they push the same final for 50 Mhz as well, but not sure how efficient is the whole thing in 1-50 Mhz range, requires real knowledge in analogue design to make this.

As per today both boards and the LCD are available I just ordered the three items using PayPal for payment. If PayPal does not dieplay my adress please respond to my email adress!

arailabiltxy of boards: what a pity, now th UI board and LCD are available but the RF board is sold out! As the shipping costs to the outside of the UK is so high I waited for teh order of the RF board which was avaliable — last week? Now I can order the other baord and esseantila LCD but without the RF board the Transceiver is not complete. Is there a Chance when all three baords are avaliable at the same time???

Yes, i have some UI boards now, probably will update the site tomorrow as i am waiting for DHL to bring some LCDs as well. Those are the HY28B – dual interface version. The latest mcHF firmware supports all the three versions manufactured by hotmcu.com.

If HY28A is detected on boot up, the SPI is used, if HY28B – the parallel is in use. There is no change of the location of the 16 bit parallel port pins on the three different LCD modules.

I really like the idea of a kit (may be only the “hard to get” components) and suggest to introduce a list for people who want to buy a complete set of pcb´s / LCD and/or kits.

Soon will be available on the Order page, but limited quantity, based on what i have prepared already for sending, to prevent long wait, like the last two weeks.
