stm32f429 tft lcd ili9341 for sale

It has 40 pins interface and SD card and Flash reader design. It is a powerful and mutilfunctional module for your project. The Screen include a controller ILI9341, it"s a support 8/16 bit data interface , easy to drive by many MCU like arduino families? STM32, AVR and 8051. It is designed with a touch controller in it . The touch IC is XPT2046 , and touch interface is included in the 40 pins breakout. It is the version of product only with touch screen and touch controller.

Because TFT can only work under 3.3 V voltage, so when the input voltage VIN is 5V, need through the 3.3 V voltage regulator IC step down to 3.3V , when the input voltage of 3.3 V, you need to use the zero resistance make J2 short , is equivalent to not through the voltage regulator IC for module and power supply directly.Note: the factory TFT module, are the 5 v power supply. By default.Carrying on board SD holder, its work to SPI mode.By the use of Stylus we can write anything on Display.

Ahh yeah look at that! If you look closely, top right of the LCD, that’s obviously a flex connector for a resistive touch overlay (4 contacts running to the 4 sides of the LCD overlay).

A fair number of inexpensive baseboards/motherboards/accessories have also appeared for earlier versions. I hope Olimex puts out a couple nice STM32F429/427 boards.

I can see there is only a STLINK usb connector on board, so there is even no FS to expect. beside HS, I suppose does mean High Speed (480mbps). but HS anyway needs a separate physical layer USB chip for addition to STM32F4 chip and most likely this is chip is not present on this board anyway, because this is STM32F4+LCD+SDRAM demoboard and there is no need for USB at all.

I think Farnell’s 21€ will be accurate, as ST’s suggested USD price is $24. The placeholders for the STM32F429I-DISCO on element14 (a division of Farnell) and mouser show $42, which I think predates the later ST announcement. I think the ST announced $24 will hold, and the distributor prices will match that, as they have in the past.

I wouldn’t expect TI to hack profits from their calculator range, and HP have always been expensive, but ST could easily change their format to calculator-friendly. Clamshell design, LCD & battery in top half, CPU & keypad in bottom half, expansion pins to left / right of keypad makes a self contained unit.

HP Palm – Love the idea, hate the baguette (french bread loaf) layout. If I could get custom key covers, and surface-mount key switches, I’d be designing my own low-profile keypad to go with an LCD module. Top side keypad, bottom side CPU / RAM / USB / LCD driver / power regulation / expansion port.

Great find, thanks! Man, could they have buried the details on that guy any farther down into the document? I can’t help but feel like a quick pointer in the LCD section to “oh by the way there’s a touch screen, here’s how to talk to it” would have been a good idea.

It’s certainly useable in any other project where you have an onboard LCD controller. Especially any other project that happens to use a STM32F4. What difference would it have made if it had an external controller? Surely it’d have been on the same PCB. Were you hoping for a removeable SPI-interfaced module?

Look in the UM1670 user manual, paragraph 4.8: the tft includes an ILI9341 controller. The ILI9341 has it’s own graphics ram inside, it is not mapped into the STM32 address space. It is connected to the STM32 via a parallel bus. The ILI9341 and similar controllers are common on cheap chinese tfts. So it is no problem to source similar tfts for your final product after developing on the discovery board.

UM1670 in paragraph 4.8 also says that “The TFT LCD is a 2.41″ display of 262 K colors. Its definition is QVGA (240 x 320 dots) and is directly driven by the STM32F429ZIT6 using the RGB protocol”. ILI9341 has multiple modes of operation including direct RGB/HSYNC/VSYNC mode which bypasses internal GRAM. I don’t have the board yet but I assume display buffer is located in external SDRAM which is also on the board. The whole point of this kit is to show TFT and SDRAM interface in new STM32F4x9.

I’ve checked this discovery board firmware available from ST’s site (“STM32F429 discovery firmware package UM1662” number: STSW-STM32138, btw. finding it is a bit difficult – ST’s site is terrible):

Check again martin. Those lines have pullups to vdd and are connected to cpu pins. I have this board for some time and I can confirm that lcd is driven by lcd controller from cpu and frame buffer is in external dram which is also on the board.

STM32F429 has also LTDC driver for LCD like that, but this driver we will use later. For now we will use SPI for driving in serial mode and some other pins for controlling.

Remember: This library can also be used, if you are not using STM32F429 Discovery. It can be used in previous STM32F4 Discovery board. All pins can be changed in defines.h file which is included in project.

IMPORTANT The touchscreen has a maximum frequency of 2MHz, which is probably slower than you want your TFT SPI clock. So in the routine that reads touch coordinates (ili9341_touch_pressed_t ili9341_touch_coordinate(ili9341_t *,uint16_t *,uint16_t *) in ILI9341/ili9341.c), make sure to adjust the lines that modify the SPI clock so that your baud rate is less than 2MHz before communicating with the touchscreen (e.g. MODIFY_REG(lcd->spi_hal->Instance->CR1, SPI_CR1_BR, SPI_BAUDRATEPRESCALER_128)), and then restored to whatever setting you use here immedaitely afterwards. See the comments in that source file for both locations.

If using the touchscreen, you will probably want to set Hardware NSSP=Disabled (slave/chip-select) in favor of a software implementation, since you will need one signal for the TFT and a separate one for the touchscreen. Any two unused GPIO digital output pins will work.

If using the touchscreen, override the EXTI callback (void HAL_GPIO_EXTI_Callback(uint16_t)) somewhere in your application code and call ili9341_touch_interrupt(ili9341_t *) from inside that callback.

According to the Setup, the LCD_D2 is connected to the PA15. So if I want to write the DATA to the LCD_D2 pin, first I will select the 2nd bit of the data (d & (1<<2)), and than shift this by 13 using <<13. This will be like adding 2 with 13 to make a total of 15, and that’s where the LCD_D2 is connected to.

Similarly, LCD_D7 is connected to PA5. So to write the data, first we will select the 7th bit of the data (d & (1<<7)), and this time shift it RIGHT by 2 (>>2). This is like subtracting 7-2=5. And that’s where, the D7 is connected to.

The process here remains the same. Except, we have to first select the GPIO Pin, and than shift it according to the position of the LCD Pin, that it is connected to. In the function above, we are first selecting the PB0 pin, and as it is connected to LCD_D0, we don’t need to shift it anywhere. Same for the PB1 also.

Next, we are selecting PA15, and as this one is connected to the LCD_D2, we need to shift it by 13 to the right ( >>13). This process continues for all other pins too.
