Typically used for replacement or retrofit upgrade of an existing DC servo motor for use with the Allin1DC CNC controller. You can make your own cables or buy these ready to go units to save time. High quality Cable with Polyurethane jacket, Color coded encoder cable is twisted pair with Shield and Drain for proper noise immunity. Power cable is high quality stranded copper with proper terminals at both ends for plug and play use with the Allin1DC. Both cables have thick rubber liquid tight strain relief seal at the motor end.
Choose between two stock lengths, 12 foot and 16 foot. These cables use twisted pair made-in-USA wire and are properly shielded and grounded for reliable encoder signal and are built and assembled by Centroid in the USA.
These cables are commonly used when upgrading DC servo motor encoders for use with the Allin1DC CNC controller. These cables can also be used for spindle encoder applications on both the Allin1DC and Acorn CNC controllers. One end of the cable is a DB9 connector which plugs directly into the Allin1DC or Acorn CNC controller, the other end of the cable is a single row flat pin connector (9 pin C-grid connector) which plugs into the Centroid Encoder pig tail mating connector.
A mating 9 pin C-grid connector and pins are optional with this cable for the case when a non Centroid encoder is used. The optional mating 9 pin C-grid connector can be installed on the non Centroid encoder pig tail wires which then allows the encoder to plug directly into this cable with no soldering or cutting of this cable.
For use with Centroid motor cables, this direct wire cable strain relief makes a water/oil tight seal against both the motor power and encoder cables to any flat surface. Very useful when converting both old and new servo motors to a direct wire configuration as seen on this page.
The DC1 axis add-on servo drive is designed with simplicity in mind. The drive is a plug-n-play addition to the Allin1DC CNC control board. This drive can be used for rotary or linear axes.

In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.
For this tutorial I composed three examples. The first example is distance measurement using ultrasonic sensor. The output from the sensor, or the distance is printed on the screen and using the touch screen we can select the units, either centimeters or inches.
The next example is controlling an RGB LED using these three RGB sliders. For example if we start to slide the blue slider, the LED will light up in blue and increase the light as we would go to the maximum value. So the sliders can move from 0 to 255 and with their combination we can set any color to the RGB LED, but just keep in mind that the LED cannot represent the colors that much accurate.
The third example is a game. Actually it’s a replica of the popular Flappy Bird game for smartphones. We can play the game using the push button or even using the touch screen itself.
As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.
Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.
As the code is a bit longer and for better understanding I will post the source code of the program in sections with description for each section. And at the end of this article I will post the complete source code.
I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.
After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.
Next we need to define the fonts that are coming with the libraries and also define some variables needed for the program. In the setup section we need to initiate the screen and the touch, define the pin modes for the connected sensor, the led and the button, and initially call the drawHomeSreen() custom function, which will draw the home screen of the program.
So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.
Next is the distance sensor button. First we need to set the color and then using the fillRoundRect() function we will draw the rounded rectangle. Then we will set the color back to white and using the drawRoundRect() function we will draw another rounded rectangle on top of the previous one, but this one will be without a fill so the overall appearance of the button looks like it has a frame. On top of the button we will print the text using the big font and the same background color as the fill of the button. The same procedure goes for the two other buttons.
Now we need to make the buttons functional so that when we press them they would send us to the appropriate example. In the setup section we set the character ‘0’ to the currentPage variable, which will indicate that we are at the home screen. So if that’s true, and if we press on the screen this if statement would become true and using these lines here we will get the X and Y coordinates where the screen has been pressed. If that’s the area that covers the first button we will call the drawDistanceSensor() custom function which will activate the distance sensor example. Also we will set the character ‘1’ to the variable currentPage which will indicate that we are at the first example. The drawFrame() custom function is used for highlighting the button when it’s pressed. The same procedure goes for the two other buttons.
drawDistanceSensor(); // It is called only once, because in the next iteration of the loop, this above if statement will be false so this funtion won"t be called. This function will draw the graphics of the first example.
getDistance(); // Gets distance from the sensor and this function is repeatedly called while we are at the first example in order to print the lasest results from the distance sensor
So the drawDistanceSensor() custom function needs to be called only once when the button is pressed in order to draw all the graphics of this example in similar way as we described for the home screen. However, the getDistance() custom function needs to be called repeatedly in order to print the latest results of the distance measured by the sensor.
Here’s that function which uses the ultrasonic sensor to calculate the distance and print the values with SevenSegNum font in green color, either in centimeters or inches. If you need more details how the ultrasonic sensor works you can check my particular tutorialfor that. Back in the loop section we can see what happens when we press the select unit buttons as well as the back button.
Ok next is the RGB LED Control example. If we press the second button, the drawLedControl() custom function will be called only once for drawing the graphic of that example and the setLedColor() custom function will be repeatedly called. In this function we use the touch screen to set the values of the 3 sliders from 0 to 255. With the if statements we confine the area of each slider and get the X value of the slider. So the values of the X coordinate of each slider are from 38 to 310 pixels and we need to map these values into values from 0 to 255 which will be used as a PWM signal for lighting up the LED. If you need more details how the RGB LED works you can check my particular tutorialfor that. The rest of the code in this custom function is for drawing the sliders. Back in the loop section we only have the back button which also turns off the LED when pressed.
In order the code to work and compile you will have to include an addition “.c” file in the same directory with the Arduino sketch. This file is for the third game example and it’s a bitmap of the bird. For more details how this part of the code work you can check my particular tutorial. Here you can download that file:
drawDistanceSensor(); // It is called only once, because in the next iteration of the loop, this above if statement will be false so this funtion won"t be called. This function will draw the graphics of the first example.
getDistance(); // Gets distance from the sensor and this function is repeatedly called while we are at the first example in order to print the lasest results from the distance sensor
This touchscreen tutorial was written by Peter Juett and first appeared in The MagPi issue 69. Click here to download your free copy of The MagPi magazine issue 69.
From humble beginnings with the clock and local transport schedule, this system grew with needs and wants and includes the weather, temperature, humidity, stock prices, air quality, and even a family calendar!
There are several of these great touchscreens around our home that show everyday information, control the surroundings, and take care of some repetitive tasks.
Of course, there are apps on our phones that do some of this, but there is nothing quite like having data at a glance and control at your fingertips; and all completely adaptable and easily extendable.
The system is composed of lightweight message-enabled software modules which run independently on your main touchscreen Raspberry Pi, or other Pi boards around the home. The modules communicate with each other by exchanging Mosquitto messages and responding accordingly. In fact, each of the screen labels shows data from its associated message, and each of the buttons and events transmits a message or set of messages. We can configure them to our heart’s desire. Here’s some of what we have set up:
Critically, for privacy, none of your data or activities is sent anywhere on the internet, with just some simple calls to APIs for weather, air quality, etc. It’s completely under your control. The open-source nature of the system gives you complete transparency – no black boxes here.
Nor is there any machine learning or artificial intelligence, nor voice control. However, with the flexibility here, this is all possible should you wish to extend it to include these features.
To start setting up the system, you need to install the Kivy Pie build – this is an image of Raspbian Jessie with Kivy already installed and ready to go. Kivy is a cross-platform library that allows you to program the touchscreen to your heart’s content!
You’ll then need to install the Apache web server and PHP. Apache serves up the webpages for remote control and configuration. PHP is used to drive interactive webpages which store information to the database and transmit commands using Mosquitto:
Install the source code modules from the GitHub repo (the Python modules, required libraries, webpages, and subfolders). You can find more details in the README.md file on GitHub.
Now we can customise the screens to our needs. We do this from the webpages, selecting which messages to associate with which screen labels, which text for the buttons, and whether they are toggle (two-state buttons – for lights and such) or simple buttons (single-state for alarm off and such).
Once we have done this, we can then assign messages to the buttons and events. Make sure not to forget to go to the configuration screen and set up your own custom settings for emails and IP address for our Mosquitto communications along with some other goodies.
For each of the labels, select the message that you want to display. For the buttons, enter the text you want to appear on each button and the type of button (single/two-state) and save.
Now, for the actions, assign the list of messages to trigger. This is how we set up the button’s scheduled events and what to trigger on high/low sensor events.
Under Mosquitto communications, set the Broker address to match your Raspberry Pi’s IP address, and make sure the port matches your setup (in reality we can probably leave this port as set).
Next, we should check that the launcher.py Python script suits our requirements. On the Raspberry Pi, navigate to /home/sysop/Glance and open the launcher.py file:
MyApp is responsible for creating the screen class, MainScreen, and also holds application-level variables and contains the Mosquitto code for communications. MainScreen sets up the labels, buttons and icons, and callback methods for updating the screen.
As mentioned previously, the system is scalable, flexible, and extendable with the modules following a standard template. Each module has a specific purpose, whether gathering data from the internet, the sensors, or controlling something cool! Using HelloWorld.py as an example, you can then easily adapt it for other data sources, actions, and interfacing with other systems.
First, the object is initialised, and creates the Mosquitto client, assigns the callback methods, and connects to the host (using values stored in the database).
The ‘on-message’ callback method we assigned earlier will receive messages and is responsible for processing them. In this example, we check the host and the message to be sure it is the message that we are waiting for, and then just store the received value (extracted from the third part of the message)
We use the ‘Publish’ loop in this example to simply to send the data onto the Mosquitto network, periodically. Other modules will periodically poll the internet for data and share on the Mosquitto network, or trigger a send on change of GPIO state, etc.
As we saw earlier, we can remotely control the system from a smartphone! This works thanks to the Apache web server, which serves up the database-driven webpages, displaying the buttons that we configured earlier.
When we click one of these buttons, Mosquitto messages are sent from the PHP behind the control webpage according to the command sequence we configured. These messages are then intercepted by the relevant Python module which, in turn, triggers the code to be executed perform the action; e.g. switch the I/O on the Raspberry Pi.
The database contains the settings and message definitions for the system. Most of the settings are configurable from the webpages; e.g. Mosquitto broker IP address.
The database also holds configurations for the screen layout, messages associated with screen labels and buttons, message sequences (i.e. the ‘macros’), and event schedules
One point to note is that all the messages used in the system are listed in the messages table. The host must match the host name of the Raspberry Pi to which they are associated.
It would be remiss of us not to include what you can do in terms of sensors. We put together a collection of some of our favourite sensors, a buzzer, a PIR motion sensor, and created a PCB to connect them all, for convenience mainly.
The I2C bus is neat, just requiring two connections for communications (plus power) and bundling these sensors up with motion detection and the buzzer. Using something like a PCF8574 I2C to I/O chip, you can interface the buzzer and PIR to the I2C, and expand the I/O at the same time. Alternatively, you can connect them directly to the GPIO using the the
We hope you find this system as useful and fun as we did and join the party to continue to evolve it, should you wish. These touchscreens are great little units and with the Raspberry Pi, internet, sensors, and data, the possibilities are endless.
Displaying a custom image or graphic on a LCD display is a very useful task as displays are now a premium way of providing feedback to users on any project. With this functionality, we can build projects that display our own logo, or display images that help users better understand a particular task the project is performing, providing an all-round improved User Experience (UX) for your Arduino or ESP8266 based project. Today’s tutorial will focus on how you can display graphics on most Arduino compatible displays.
The procedure described in this tutorial works with all color displays supported by Adafruit’s GFX library and also works for displays supported by the TFTLCD library from Adafruit with little modification. Some of the displays on which this procedure works include:
While these are the displays we have, and on which this tutorial was tested, we are confident it will work perfectly fine with most of the other Arduino compatible displays.
For each of the displays mentioned above, we have covered in past how to program and connect them to Arduino. You should check those tutorials, as they will give you the necessary background knowledge on how each of these displays works.
For this tutorial, we will use the 2.8″ ILI9325 TFT Display which offers a resolution of 320 x 340 pixels and we will display a bitmap image of a car.
As usual, each of the components listed above can be bought from the links attached to them. While having all of the displays listed above may be useful, you can use just one of them for this tutorial.
To demonstrate how things work, we will use the 2.8″ TFT Display. The 2.8″ TFT display comes as a shield which plugs directly into the Arduino UNO as shown in the image below.
Not all Arduino displays are available as shields, so when working with any of them, connect the display as you would when displaying text (we recommend following the detailed tutorial for the display type you use of the above list). This means no special connection is required to display graphics.
Before an image is displayed on any of the Arduino screens, it needs to be converted to a C compatible hex file and that can only happen when the image is in bitmap form. Thus, our first task is to create a bitmap version of the graphics to be displayed or convert the existing image to a bitmap file. There are several tools that can be used for creation/conversion of bitmap images including, Corel Draw and Paint.net, but for this tutorial, we will use the Paint.net.
Our demo graphics today will be a car. We will create the car on a black background and use a white fill so it’s easy for us to change the color later on.
The resolution of the graphics created should be smaller than the resolution of your display to ensure the graphics fit properly on the display. For this example, the resolution of the display is 320 x 340, thus the resolution of the graphics was set to195 x 146 pixels.
Your graphics could also include some text. Just ensure the background is black and the fill color is white if you plan to change the color within your Arduino code.
With the graphics done, save both files as .bmp with 24bits color.It is important to keep in mind that large bitmaps use up a lot of memory and may prevent your code from running properly so always keep the bitmaps as small as possible.
Image2Code is an easy-to-use, small Java utility to convert images into a byte array that can be used as a bitmap on displays that are compatible with the Adafruit-GFX or Adafruit TFTLCD (with little modification) library.
All we have to do is to load the graphics into the software by clicking the “Choose file” button and it will automatically generate a byte array equivalent to the selected bitmap file.
Paste the bit array in the graphics.c file and save. Since we have two graphics (the car and the text), You can paste their data array in the same file. check the graphics.c file attached to the zip file, under the download section to understand how to do this. Don’t forget to declare the data type as “const unsigned char“, add PROGEM in front of it and include the avr/pgmspace.h header file as shown in the image below. This instructs the code to store the graphics data in the program memory of the Arduino.
With this done, we are now ready to write the code. Do note that this procedure is the same for all kind of displays and all kind of graphics. Convert the graphics to a bitmap file and use the Img2code utility to convert it into a hex file which can then be used in your Arduino code.
To reduce the amount of code, and stress involved in displaying the graphics, we will use two wonderful libraries; The GFX library and the TFTLCD library from Adafruit.
The GFX library, among several other useful functions, has a function called drawBitmap(), which enables the display of a monochrome bitmap image on the display. This function allows the upload of monochrome only (single color) graphics, but this can be overcome by changing the color of the bitmap using some code.
The Adafruit libraries do not support all of the displays but there are several modifications of the libraries on the internet for more displays. If you are unable to find a modified version of the library suitable for your the display, all you need do is copy the code of the drawBitmap() function from the GFX library and paste it in the Arduino sketch for your project such that it becomes a user-defined function.
The first two are thex and y coordinates of a point on the screen where we want the image to be displayed. The next argument is the array in which the bitmap is loaded in our code, in this case, it will be the name of the car and the text array located in the graphics.c file. The next two arguments are the width and height of the bitmap in pixels, in other words, the resolution of the image. The last argument is the color of the bitmap, we can use any color we like. The bitmap data must be located in program memory since Arduino has a limited amount of RAM memory available.
As usual, we start writing the sketch by including the libraries required. For this procedure, we will use the TFTLCD library alone, since we are assuming you are using a display that is not supported by the GFX library.
Next, we specify the name of the graphics to be displayed; car and title. At this stage, you should have added the bit array for these two bitmaps in the graphics.c file and the file should be placed in the same folder as the Arduino sketch.
With that done, we proceed to the void loop function, under the loop function, we call the drawbitmap() function to display the car and the text bitmap using different colors.
The last section of the code is the drawBitmap function itself, as earlier mentioned, to use the drawbitmap() function with the Adafruit TFTLCD library, we need to copy the function’s code and paste into the Arduino sketch.
Plug in your screen as shown above. If you are using any other display, connect it as shown in the corresponding linked tutorial. With the schematics in place, connect the Arduino board to your PC and upload the code. Don’t forget the graphics file needs to be in the same folder as the Arduino sketch.
That’s it for this tutorial guys. The procedure is the same for all kinds of Arduino compatible displays. If you get stuck while trying to replicate this using any other display, feel free to reach out to me via the comment sections below.

We worked with the client to determine what they wanted to have the touch-screen display do and what it should look like. We then picked an appropriate touch-screen based on the size, resolution, and availability.
As the electronics were being designed, we also started work on the software. This is where the software commands to control the display as well as the client"s graphical interface were created.
In addition to the previous steps, we also needed to create a mounting system for the display. Since the display we chose had no mounting holes of its own, we had to design in Solidworks a cradle that both held the display and the driver board to come. This cradle would then attach to the project case. Because we have two 3D printers in-house, we were able to quickly iterate plastic prototypes until we had the ideal cradle.
Once the cradle was designed, we then worked out what hardware was needed to mount everything together. Also, we needed to create a rubber gasket based on the design parameters of the cradle and the display. This was all done in Solidworks by creating a virtual assembly of the entire project.
The cradle design dictated the size of the circuit board driver for the display. With that information now determined, the circuit board was designed.
And lastly, the display was built in-house using our surface-mount machinery and skilled technicians. Once assembled, the driver board was programmed with the custom software and tested.
