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

I divided the program into several subrutines to make it easier to understand. The code is well documented, but, if you have trouble understanding it, leave a comment and I"ll try to explain it.

The input is limited to a 5volt peak to peak waveform, unless you use a voltage divider at the input, and also limited to positive waveforms from 0 to 5 volts.

First you have to find a power supply with a 5.5mm plug. I found a 5v 2.5a adapter from my dlink router. You only need 5v 1a to power the display. Just plug that into the lcd driver board (board with hdmi port on it). Next you need to connect the lcd to the driver board. Find the ttl port (it says TTL OUT in front of it) and push out the two grey hinge things. Connect the lcd ttl cable (big one) into the driver board and then push the grey hinge things in. Finally connect the RPI to the screen via HDMI or composite. I am working on getting the drivers for the touchscreen installed and I will get back when I figure that out.

So, Lets start with UTFT.The code UTFT myGLCD(CTE70,38,39,40,41); will not work and shows nothing on my display however if I change the code to UTFT myGLCD(CTE50,38,39,40,41); its seems to work fine. That being said, will this affect my touch interface?

Using the settings above I am able to calibrate 8 points on the screen showing that the touch interface works all the way across. It did however show up as a Portrait. When I try the button test, all I get is the buttons on the screen as a portrait in the top left corner but have no touch affects. Quickdraw or Quickpaint nothing shows on the screen at all.

After our short tutorials on how to tweak a Raspbian distribution in order to use a Raspberry Pi with a resistive HDMI LCD Touch Screen, here we are again with a new modest proposal on how to customize two well-known Debian based music players: Volumio and Moode Audio. Our purpose is to turn Raspberry Pi and Touch Screen into a more complete and integrated audiophile system, gifted with a graphical webui environment. Moode Audio Player exploits a much more lightweight and minimalistic configuration compared to Volumio, so the work ahead with it will be a little bit harder. Let"s start with Moode anyway.

I have used a old Raspberry Pi Model B and a 7inch SainSmart LCD Touch Screen (TS from now on), but it is likely that the guide will prove to be good enough for others RPI models and TS devices (perhaps with a few changes).

First of all, you need to download and uncompress the latest Moode version from the official website http://moodeaudio.org/ (former http://tcmods.org). Flash your SD card via dd command (in a Linux environment) or something like a Win32DiskImager application (in Windows). Put the SD card in the RPI slot, connect the RPI with the TS through the HDMI cable and power both devices with proper voltage and current (5v DC 500mA for the RPI) and wait a while until the prompt appears on your monitor console (the screen have to be in HDMI mode). If you have an USB keyboard, plug it in the RPI in order to login into the Debian system and launch the appropriate commands. If you don"t have a USB keyboard, you"ll have to find out your RPI"s IP local address through your router or some other devices within your LAN (e.g. using some application programs for network analysis, like Fing). Once the IP address has been obtained, you can use a SSH client (like PuTTY, in Windows) to remotely access and control the system. Log into it with username root and password moode.

Remember not to make any upgrade. This customized system doesn"t like strong changes and after the first reboot it may seize up. Open the /boot/config.txt configuration file with a text editor (the default text editor in Debian is nano)

and paste into it the following lines (the framebuffer values should be 800x400 but these ones are measured on the browser"s web page you have to open later)

Well, since Moode modded distro is devoid of all the software needed for a graphical environment, you have to enlarge the SD partition in order to install the many packages required for a TS web interface. Probably, with another distro, the easiest thing to do would be to run

and select the menu option "Expand Filesystem". Unfortunately, in our case, the answer would be: "Your partition layout is not currently supported by this tool. You are probably using NOOBS, in which case your root filesystem is already expanded anyway". Be careful, the root filesystem is NOT already expanded! So you need to find another solution. This is mine. Check the partition size with

Because Moode distro lacks even the /home/pi directory, you must create it along with its .Xauthority file, making sure giving them the appropriate permissions and a password for the user pi:

At this stage, in order to enable the touch screen function you need install and configure few other packages (one of which is not included in the official repositories):

You will see a black window with a blinking cursor at the center. Probably The touch-function will work upside down, but you may fix this problem by calibrating the monitor. Open another terminal via SSH and, after the login, run these strings:

Now, press with a pen or click with a mouse on each of the 4 corners in the active area (on the red crosses). The terminal will give you an answer like this:

Make your calibration permanent by creating a xorg.conf.d directory (if there isn"t one) and two files in which to paste the above section (the values may be different).

Now, it"s time to select two other raspi-config menu options: Enable SPI and Enable boot to desktop option. Before that, you need to install a display manager:

After the reboot, you will see the same black window with the blinking cursor, but this time the touch function will work properly (I hope). Let"s proceed with the last important step: the web browser installation. In my opinion, Debian distros work fine with the firefox based browser iceweasel.

In Moode minimalist distro we haven"t a Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE), so we haven"t even an autostart file (like /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart) in which to paste the command

Therefore, if we wish that the graphical interface starts as the system boots, we have to operate in a different way. Be careful! A lxde installation, as well as a gnome-shell or a build-essential installation, will be fatal for the integrity of Moode customized system.

Much like Volumio, Moode web UI allows you to set up the MPD server, configure the audio output and choose the digital analog converter (DAC) from a long list of compatible devices (if you have one). Before this, we have to make few other changes. Above all, we have to add some lines in the xinitrc file:

When the web page appears, probably the Option Menu button to the upper right will not work, so, if you want a "fullscreen" kiosk-mode displaying, you have to install some extension like xul-ext-fullscreen and unclutter (which will hide your mouse after few seconds of inactivity):

If you have an USB mouse plugged in the RPI (this might be a little problem with the old model B, which has only two USB ports), flag the Add this Installation message to allow the full-screen add-on, click on Continue and then on Restart Iceweasel. After the restart, you"ll have your Moode Web UI page. Due to the screen I have used, colours and resolution are not the best I"ve seen so far, but this is another issue.

However the screen I have attached is not going well. I had it attached to raspian (with built in drivers for this screen) and it works good, but any other image requires drivers to be installed manually.

Notro drivers seem to work fine on newer versions of raspian, and I"ve had success before with an overlay - however an overlay doesn"t provide the touch screen function.

So here"s the deal on this screen: It"s a 7" (or 5 depending who you ask) HDMI LCD screen with GPIO pins for touch capability. I purchased it from "sainsmart" who sold it to me as a 7" HDMI LCD screen (800x480)

Searching the driver package on the pre-built image (5_HDMI_LCD.tar.gz) leads me to waveshare"s 5" screen.....I have tried their drivers, and they work exactly the same as the ones provided by sainsmart. I"m assuming one of those manufactures is copying the other. In any case!

When turned on right out of the box (freshly burned SD card with Xbian rpi3) the screen is all lines and colours, but then turns into the first one quarter of the xbian OS screen. Touch does not respond.
