2.8 tft lcd shield con1 factory

The 2.8" Arduino TFT LCD Touchscreen Module (Colour Screen) is for Arduino UNO board and Mega 2560 board or boards compatible with UNO. This module can display words, colour painting, ghaphics and pictures. This module come with a large touch screen display and build in Micro SD Card socket make it user friendly and easy to use. As a bonus, this display comes with a resistive or capacitive touchscreen attached to it , so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

Can this 2.8" elegoo display play video at all? I"m trying to make a unit that an older woman, in her 80"s can play a video on it, if I set it up correctly? This is for a really good cause, I desperately need help, this is super important. Helping elderly folks with modern technology is tough. But I really need it to be able to play a video off the SD card if possible. Any help would be super highly appreciated.ReplyUpvote

Hello,please post our code also ..the screen driver must be known and that info must be known in order to get these things to work correctly..you show your code and then the vid blurs..Someone needs to write a pdf teaching how ,what ,when and why concerning these screens I would gladly pay $10.00 and I am sure others would too.I have 3 different tftlcds only 1 works its for the mega and Bomer has a lib for it,I am really considering use of Nextion units from now on 4 pins easy programming but higher cost...also the small cell phone screens use spi mode and are real easy to set up and use

The program runs and nothing is displayed but a white screen. when I open the COM4 I see that when I hit the screen numbers appear to calibrate the screens position so it is registering but not showing up on the LCD. please help me before I pull all my hair out.1

I"m having issues getting this display to work on my Arduino 101 board with the libraries that are suggested - errors in compiling seem to indicate that the board type isn"t supported in the Adafruit_TFTLCD library. Here"s a representative error:

I finally got the touchscreen to work correct using your links to the libraries. Found out that this specific TFT display module uses pin 6 & 7 for touch sensor, instead of the standard 4 & 5.0

I never received a response on this, so went through the painful process of copying code from the video. It can be found here for others that might need it. Not that this has some minor changes, but is fully functional and I will continue to refine: https://github.com/siliconghost/Arduino_2.8in_TFT_wSD

I have already searched through this forum but I found out most of the 2.8"" TFT LCD problems discussed here are based on the one with a breakout board module, which can be directly plugged into Arduino UNO. While the screen I got has 34 pins, 17x2.

as a guide to interface the screen with Arduino UNO. I find out that the screen shown in the link actually has slightly different pins compare to the one I bought (Because the one is for 2.4"" TFT LCD I guess?).

So, anyone has deal with this kind of 2.8"" touch screen before? What is the exact connection on this? And also on my screen, the pins MISO, MOSI, CLK, T_CS, PEN, F_CS are left unconnected.

RFE430W-EYW-DSG is a TFT LCD display with IPS (In-Plane-Switching Liquid Crystal) panel, controller board and PCAP touch; IPS technique allows viewers to view the screen from wider angles (80/80/80/80 degree). The brightness is 400 cd/m2 with contrast ratio 800:1(typical value). This 4.3 inch TFT display module has a built-in controller IC BT815 supporting SPI/QSPI interface. The module adopts IC ILI2130 for PCAP touch supporting I2C interface and 5-point touch. The module works within the temperature -20 to+70℃, storage temperature covers from-30 to+80℃.

It is possible to connect this LCD TFT screen to the raspberry 3 model B please ? I don’t understand the schematic for SPI connection. Any help is welcome thank you.

Thank you very much again for all your explanations. I think at this time, GPIO9 -> LCD_RD , GPIO10 -> LCD_WR, GPIO8 -> LCD_CSbut for RESET and RS (Register Select ?) no definition on pinout shematic for the raspberry. Maybe these pins can be any pin gpio (declared in the driver source file?) raspberry pinout – Ephemeral

@Ephemeral I googled more touch LCD user guides and found all of them similar. So I have drafted a basic wiring diagram as updated. I think you can find the SPI signal lines at the Arduino shield plug CON 1, and one more CS signal line for micro SD card at the bottom side of the PCB. (Main SPI line are shared between LCD and sd card。） I could not find any BL line in your board. Perhaps your board has no back lit. Or you can try searching for it. I am going to gym then supper. See you late evening or tomorrow. Good luck! – tlfong01

Ah, let us consider one device at a time. A SPI operation is almost always write and read at the same time, sort of mouth talking and ears listening at the same time. So it is full duplex, if you wish to use this term half/full duplex. Same for SD card, you write and read at the same time. Now you can read a byte from LCD and then write the byte to SD. But this has nothing to do with half or full duplex, I think, not very sure, again. You need to wiki for SPI, and also google Rpi newbit tutorials on SPI and I2C etc, to clarify. – tlfong01

Yes, I agree. If you cannot guess the meaning of terms BL = Back Lit, and LEDA, LEDK mean Anode and Cathode, then it is very difficult to do it all by yourself. But then if you read AdaFruit’s newbie tutorials on touch LCD, you might find things not that difficult. Or if you search Amazon’s touch LCD for Rpi, you might also find it easy. Your problem is now you want to change an Arduino shield to Rpi compatible, that is indeed very difficult. Suggestion: watch what I do this weekend, then decide to give up for now and come back later, after learning SPI basics. – tlfong01

Ah, you only need 4 wires for the LCD – CLK, MOSI, MISO, CS. The 5th wire is CS for the SD card. So actually we don’t need to bother the SD card, or even the back lit, just play with LCD to start with. As I said, you can just sit back, do nothing and watch how do I test the very basic SPI thing over the weekend, … – tlfong01
