2.4 tft lcd shield arduino mega 2560 not working brands

Even on ebay"s website it is mentioned that I can"t use 2.4" TFT LCD Shield display on attach to Arduino Mega. The problem is that I bought this shield by mistake. I want to put this shield onto Arduino Mega 2560. Is there a way to combine Mega and 2.4" Display Shield?

Let me join in because looks like I got exactly the same display (because it reports the same LCD_ID_readreg output) and I also can"t get it to work. Here it is for reference:

The clear blunder is not comprehending what the "Vin" or "RAW" terminal is. The regulator on the Arduino UNO/ Nano/ Pro Mini/ Mega2560/ Leonardo/ Pro Micro has very little heatsink, so will not pass very much current (depending on the input voltage and thus, how much voltage it has to drop) before it overheats and (hopefully reversibly) shuts down. It is essentially little more than a novelty provided in the very beginning of the Arduino project when "9V" power packs were common and this was a practical way to power a lone Arduino board for initial demonstration purposes. And even then it was limited because an unloaded 9 V transformer-rectifier-capacitor supply would generally provide over 12 V which the regulator could barely handle.

Nowadays, 5 V regulated switchmode packs are arguably the most readily available in the form of "Phone chargers" and switchmode "buck" regulators to regulate down from 12 V or other available voltages are cheap on eBay so these can be fed into the USB connector or (more appropriately) 5 V pin to provide adequate power for most applications. Unfortunately, many tutorials or "instructables" are seriously outdated or misleading and have not been updated to reflect the contemporary situation.

I wonder if i will be able to get it fixed with your assistance or would have throw it away in some dustbin lol.Well David sir i don"t know your age but am an old man and almost blind just playing around with this Arduino stuff lolz.

I have an Arduino Mega and a 2.8" Tft-Display-Shield from Adafruit. The Display is for the Arduino Uno, but the documentation says it can also be used with the Arduino Mega. Therefore it is needed to "solder three jumpers and you can use it at full speed on a Leonardo or Mega as well."

The following instructions are specific to the 2.4″ LCD Shield sold by ZYLtech Engineering. These instructions may or may not work for non-ZYLtech LCD shields. The LCD shield works with Arduino UNO/Mega (ATMEGA16U2 or CH340 version). It may also work with other boards as well.

Please note: The instruction is for ZYLtech Arduino 2.4 LCD Shields purchased after May 23, 2016. Information for the older version can be found in the second part of this instruction

3. Connect your UNO to computer via USB cable. Please make sure the UNO is correctly recognized by the computer. In device manager, you should be able to see arduino UNO or CH340 device.

Launch test sketch from File->Examples->Mcufriend_kbv menu->UTFT_Demo_320x240 or graphictest_kbv *The graphictest sketch will provide you some basic information and test some basic functions.

Next, download the modified sketch for TFTpaint, from which you will learn how to use the touchscreen function of this LCD shield. In order for this sketch to work properly, you will need the following two libraries. (Download, unzip and copy to your Arduino IDE library folder.)

​If your x, y coordinates of the Touch Screen are inverted, try comment/uncomment line 51/53 in the TFFTLCD.CPP file. If you get a white screen it is probably because there is already a TFTLCD.cpp file in your library. Find the following code in your TFTLCD.CPP file and add delay as showing below:

This is Sainsmart 2.4 inch TFT LCD module with the TFT LCD shield kit for arduino enthusiasts.It includes one piece of 2.4 inch TFT LCD display and a TFT LCD shield for Arduino MEGA2560 (R3).We will provided you the whole document including the example project of arduino due with the kit. We will supply you the technical support after your purchase.

Voltage type: 5v or 3v voltage input voltage,input is selectable. 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.(Click here)

It is 100% compatible with the normal MCU like ARM AVR PIC and 8051,especially on arduino family such as arduino due and arduino mega2560(R3).The module uses the LCD controller Chip SSD1963 with 5 inch LCD including the touchscreen.

The shield defines that all the the data transmit ports are PC1-PC8 and PC12-PC19,the controll pins are PD0-PD3.The perfect design could realize that the data transmits in high speed.The SPI interface is designed in the ISP header of arduino due so that the SPI transfer with DMA could be achieved in high speed with no drag.

I just purchased Seeed"s TFT Touch Shield 2.0 for Arduino, but I cannot seem to figure out how to access the SD card while maintaining the ability to draw to the screen. The tutorials and documentation are quite insubstantial (for me), and most questions on the product site seem to be directed to the same wiki page, which doesn"t explain anything about the SD interface, other than what example file draws bitmaps from the card.

I"ve used the SD interface with the Ethernet Shield before, but it"s been a long time since then, so I can"t quite remember the ins and outs. From my old code, it seems that, for normal usage of the SD library, you simply do:

What I assume is happening is that pins 11 through 13 are set to input for some SPI-related reason, the TFT chip select "enabled" mode is set to HIGH, and then the screen is subsequently enabled. Serial moniter is started, followed by SPI, and then the TFT. After those things happen, it does something unknown to me, starts the card, and then uses the standard card initialization method. It finishes up by preparing to draw the bitmaps and sends this "command 0x2c", which is used frequently in the underlying libraries to "start to write to display ram".

The problem is that I have tried initializing the TFT and SD card using this code, and then attempted to draw graphics as shown in my second example, but this did not work. I need to be able to read bytes from the SD card, and then be able to draw simple graphics on-screen, and repeat.

So my question is: Is anyone who has used this shield before or has experience with this able to explain how one should go about writing the code to allow usage of both the SD card and screen or how the initialization and SPI processes work to make this possible?

This is a 3.5-inch 320 * 480 resolution TFT color screen. It supports working boards such as Arduino uno and Arduino mega2560 and Arduino due. Also supports STM32, 51 and other conventional microcontrollers.

When using this screen, you do not need any wiring operations, just plug onto your arduino board, we will provide the corresponding Arduino library files, the development code is open source, you can use arduino and this screen to build some applications.The backlight always on, can not control the backlight, backlight is connect to 3.3V.

Hello, in this tutorial I planned to test different functions of the TFT LCD shield but I encountered few problems and decided to show you some solutions first, so the usual tutorial about this shield will follow up later.

This is the shield I’m using it’s 2.4″ screen, it can work with Arduino Uno, Leonardo, Duemilanove, Mega… and has a slot for SD card you can use it to store BMP pictures and display them.

So this is where the problems began for me, first you should check for the library that will work for you, to know if a library works or not, download it and open the “graphictest” example, it should show you the different colors and shapes just like in the tutorial video, if you have a white screen you may want to change the library.

If it works okay, you can now try the “tftpaint” example to try your touch functions, if it works correctly congratulations, but since you came here, you probably have the touch screen problem, and it’s due to manufacturers keep changing the pins locations.
