sainsmart 3.5 tft lcd raspberry pi free sample
SainSmart 3.5 inch TFT LCD module is a special design for Raspberry Pi for portable application. It features a 3.5 "display with 320x480 16bit color pixels and resistive touch screen. The LCD is well mated with Pi board and interface with Pi via the high speed SPI port, and support console, X windows, displaying images or video etc. It therefore Provides 4 press buttons for user defined functions.
RPi LCD needs to use a SPI interface, but in the original image file of Raspberry Pi, the displayer is driven via a HDMI port. So the original image is not applicable for RPi LCD, and you should install the LCD driver to your Pi or use the Ready-to-use image file provided by Sainsmart,click here.
Download the LCD driver and extract it to your Raspbian OS (e.g. copy the driver to your Pi by sftpor using U disk). Then run the following command via putty:
This LCD can be calibrated using a program called xinput_calibrator which is pre-installed on the offer image. However, it was not pre-installed on original Raspbian OS. So in this case, you should get and install the program manually with
After running these commands, there will be a prompt for four-point calibration shown in the LCD screen. Click the points one by one to finish the touch calibration. Then, the new calibration data will be displayed in the terminal, as shows below. Please get these data for future use.
3.5inch RPi LCD (A) and 3.5inch RPi LCD (B) are hardware compatible with each other (uses different driver), and can be mutually substituted in most cases. (A) for low cost ver. while (B) for IPS ver. with better displaying.
so... right off the bat, I noticed that this screen in the video is not a sainsmart device. That will change things a bit from the vid. Also, in looking at the Pi pins in use in the video, you will notice that he is using I2C, not SPI, so your hookup and code will be completely different. (if you based your hookups on the video, that"s your main problem)
Maybe I can use this to make the sainsmart display work. But I"m a little bit confused about the TFT/cs in the picture. He connected it to GPIO8(CE0). Or can I use your wirings?
If you read the previous blog entry on the same site -- Raspberry Pi and TFT Display -- it covers the kernel frame buffer driver being used for /dev/fb1. Without this kernel driver, the python code from the subsequent blog entry will not work.
Yeah exactly. I saw that kernel patch right after i posted here. Right now the pi is updating and my pc is downloading the kernel patch. I will you when its finished....
The line ST7735 SPI bus mode (0, 1, 2, or 3) (FB_ST7735_MAP_SPI_BUS_MODE) [0] (NEW) 3 is default 0 on my pi, not 3. I set it as above. Thats all I see... :(
The diagram has RST as 25 and D/C as 24. In saying this, you can change these pins if you like, you just need to make sure that when you answer these, they actually match what is physically wired up on the Pi.
I was using 2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian, so its a bit older (maybe too old?). I downloaded the version mentioned in the tutorial and will make that rpi-update stuff(or can i skip that by using 2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian/?).
Ok, I finally managed it. Important: If you use raspbian 2012-12-16 DON’T UPDATE THE FIRMWARE! (don’t use rpi-update). The firmware is already new enough for the driver.
I had to set up a new raspbian-wheezy 2012-12-16 (on a slooowww 2gb sd-card) and did all steps except rpi-update. This keeps me the 3.2.27 kernel. (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade is o.k.)
after i took the newest wheezy and build the kernel with the driver as module, the fb1 appeared. But the drawing example didn"t cause the display to work it was just flickering. Then i rewired the pi (DC ->GPIO24 and RES->GPIO25) and voilá there was the drawin.YES!!!
Correct me if I"m wrong, but as I understand, the 3- and 4-wire serial protocols of the ST7735R are not SPI, even though the datasheet says so. They are protocols that are defined solely in the datasheet.
I found the tossing of the words "SPI" and "MOSI" misleading, and ended up creating simple, isolated demonstration on how to use the display driver. It"s available here: https://github.com/gima/st7735r

Adafruit_ST7735 is the library we need to pair with the graphics library for hardware specific functions of the ST7735 TFT Display/SD-Card controller.
Basically, besides the obvious backlight, we tell the controller first what we are talking to with the CS pins. CS(TFT) selects data to be for the Display, and CS(SD) to set data for the SD-Card. Data is written to the selected device through SDA (display) or MOSI (SD-Card). Data is read from the SD-Card through MISO.
So when using both display and SD-Card, and utilizing the Adafruit libraries with a SainSmart display, you will need to connect SDA to MOSI, and SCL to SCLK.
As mentioned before, the display has a SLOW and a FAST mode, each serving it’s own purpose. Do some experiments with both speeds to determine which one works for your application. Of course, the need of particular Arduino pins plays a role in this decision as well …
Note: Adafruit displays can have different colored tabs on the transparent label on your display. You might need to adapt your code if your display shows a little odd shift. I noticed that my SainSmart display (gree tab) behaves best with the code for the black tab – try them out to see which one works best for yours.
Low Speed display is about 1/5 of the speed of High Speed display, which makes it only suitable for particular purposes, but at least the SPI pins of the Arduino are available.
Below the code parts for a LOW SPEED display (pay attention to the highlighted lines) – keep in mind that the names of the pins in the code are based on the Adafruit display:
#define sclk 4 // SainSmart: SCL#define mosi 5 // SainSmart: SDA#define cs 6 // SainSmart: CS#define dc 7 // SainSmart: RS/DC#define rst 8 // SainSmart: RES
#define sclk 13 // SainSmart: SCL#define mosi 11 // SainSmart: SDA#define cs 10 // SainSmart: CS#define dc 9 // SainSmart: RS/DC#define rst 8 // SainSmart: RES
You can name your BMP file “parrot.bmp” or modify the Sketch to have the proper filename (in “spitftbitmap” line 70, and in “soft_spitftbitmap” line 74).
#define SD_CS 4 // Chip select line for SD card#define TFT_CS 10 // Chip select line for TFT display#define TFT_DC 9 // Data/command line for TFT#define TFT_RST 8 // Reset line for TFT (or connect to +5V)
#define SD_CS 4 // Chip select line for SD card#define TFT_CS 10 // Chip select line for TFT display#define TFT_DC 9 // Data/command line for TFT#define TFT_RST 8 // Reset line for TFT (or connect to +5V)
However, if your application needs your screen sideways, then you’d want to rotate the screen 90 degrees, effectively changing the display from a 128×160 pixel (WxH) screen to a 160×128 pixel display. Valid values are: 0 (0 degrees), 1 (90 degrees), 2 (180 degrees) and 3 (270 degrees).
tft.print("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur adipiscing ante sed nibh tincidunt feugiat. Maecenas enim massa, fringilla sed malesuada et, malesuada sit amet turpis. Sed porttitor neque ut ante pretium vitae malesuada nunc bibendum. Nullam aliquet ultrices massa eu hendrerit. Ut sed nisi lorem. In vestibulum purus a tortor imperdiet posuere. ");
Before we can draw on the frame buffer, we need to open it and then store the space usde by the framebuffer in memory. We then write to this space to draw to the TFT.
The drawSquare() function is a very simple function used to draw a square on the TFT where it has been touched. It uses put_pixel_16bpp to paint a pixal to the TFT.
put_pixel_16bpp() is used to paint a pixel on a 16Bit Per Pixel screen. The X and Y values correlate to the screen resolution. It also accepts R,G & B values for color.void put_pixel_16bpp(int x, int y, int r, int g, int b)
We do need to scale the values for the X and Y coordinates read from the touchscreen as they are at a higher sensitivity than what the resolution of the TFT is.
My touchscreen returns a value between 190/280 and 3830 for the X or Y readings. So we need to scale this to match the resolution of the TFT, which is 320×240.
