tft lcd shield 9341 in stock

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use and set up 2.4″ Touch LCD Shield for Arduino. First, you’ll see some general information about this shield. And after learning how to set the shield up, you’ll see 3 practical projects.

The role of screens in electronic projects is very important. Screens can be of very simple types such as 7 Segment or character LCDs or more advanced models like OLEDs and TFT LCDs.

One of the most important features of this LCD is including a touch panel. If you are about to use the LCD, you need to know the coordinates of the point you touch. To do so, you should upload the following code on your Arduino board and open the serial monitor. Then touch your desired location and write the coordinates displayed on the serial monitor. You can use this coordination in any other project.

To display pictures on this LCD you should save the picture in 24bit BMP colored format and size of 240*320. Then move them to SD card and put the SD card in the LCD shield. we use the following function to display pictures. This function has 3 arguments; the first one stands for the pictures name, and the second and third arguments are for length and width coordinates of the top left corner of the picture.

That means you can use digital pins 2, 3 and analog 4 and 5. Pin 12 is available if not using the micro SD5V compatible, use with 3.3V or 5V logicFor Arduino UNO R3 MEGA2560

The Shield TFT is usually supplied with an SD card module to store data or images. Touchscreen LCDs to display images and create graphical user interfaces. In this tutorial, we use the Kuman TFT 2.8″ shield (very similar to the 3.5″ shield) and we will see how to interface with the microSD card.

The shield is placed directly on an Arduino UNO or Mega board. The shield uses almost all the pins of the Arduino UNO. Make sure you don’t use the same ones for other modules. The SD card module of the TFT shield uses the SPI bus and selector pin 10.

The main interest of the MicroSD module on the TFT shield is to be able to store images in order to display them on the screen. If you don’t have a bitmap image at hand, you can download the one we use in this example.
