RESET --directly to the microcontroller IO2. CS --directly to the microcontroller IO3. A0 --IO control registers select4. SDA --IO control data transmission5. SCL --IO control SPI bus6. BL--High Level 3.3V backlight onNote:Please contact us for documents and driver if you need. Please noted this LCD is 3.3V, which can not receive 5V signals from the Arduino, so please use a 1k series resistors between GPIO lines on a 5V arduino and this LCD, power this LCD with 5V but drive it with "level shifted resistor" GPIO lines.Besides, you could use mcifriend 2.8 inch TFT LCD library to get it to work, it will work fine with the Mega or Uno.
This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful, and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and few pins available! The 1.8″ display has 128×160 color pixels. Unlike the low-cost Nokia 6110 and similar LCD displays, which are CSTN type and thus have poor color and slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver (ST7735R) can display full 18-bit color (262,144 shades!). And the 4.6 cm (1.8 “) SPI 128×160 TFT LCD Display Module will always come with the same driver chip so there are no worries that your code will not work from one to the other. The breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as an ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator and a 3/5V level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. It features a microSD card holder so you can easily load full color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card.
This 128x160 resolution LCD TFT is equipped with a powerful backlight, providing visibility in bright lighting conditions including the direct sun. The sunlight readable display comes with 3/4-wire SPI interface and offers a 6:00 optimal view. This 2.8V Liquid Crystal Display has a built-in ILI9163V controller, FFC connection, is RoHS compliant and does not come with a touchscreen.
Choose from a wide selection of interface options or talk to our experts to select the best one for your project. We can incorporate HDMI, USB, SPI, VGA and more into your display to achieve your design goals.
Equip your display with a custom cut cover glass to improve durability. Choose from a variety of cover glass thicknesses and get optical bonding to protect against moisture and debris.
In this tutorial we use our Arduino to show an image slideshow on a 1.8 inch tft module with SD card support (HY-1.8 SPI). We will change the size and the format of the images a...
The 1.8" display has 128x160 color pixels. The TFT driver (ST7735) can display full 18-bit color. The breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector)
This ST7735S 1.8" TFT Display features a resolution of 128×160 and SPI (4-wire) communication. Integrated with an SD card slot, it allows to easily read full-color bitmaps from the SD card. The module provides users with two wiring methods: pin header wiring and GDI (General Display interface). You can directly use an FPC cable to connect the display to any controller with GDI interface like FireBeetle-M0. Plug and play, easy to wire. Besides, the display supports low refresh rate and offers good display effect and strong versatility. It can be used in applications like sensor monitoring and alarm, Arduino temperature monitor, fan controller, etc.
This product is a breakout module that features SPI communication mode and onboard GDI interface, which could reduce the complexity of wiring. It can easily display the read content from the SD card.
The BasicTest.ino code shows us the basic display functions of the screen: text display, number display, drawing lines, drawing rectangles and other demos.
I figured my cheap 1.8″ TFT display is useless on an Arduinoas it pretty much eats the available memory (20K for simple sketches), so I decided to try it on my Raspberry Pi. The most appropriate way to do so is to use Kamal’smodified kernel with ST7735R support. This is the first time I ever do kernel compilation, took few tries before I got it right, the best instructions I found are these. It is important to remain on kernel 3.2.27+, so do not upgrade(see Kamal’s note in the comments sections). Read all the comments carefully; I used menuconfig to edit the .config file as one comment suggested – much more visual for beginners. I set the SPI to 8Mhz so it runs faster. I also used a MINI4x6 font so more characters would fit:
The screen runs as an additional framebuffer (/dev/fb1), independent of the HDMI/RCA, thus is perfect for a miniature status display. I am running fbterm on it. Here is my /boot/cmdline.txt
@David: big thx to you. Without your hint that the resistors are to big i had never solved this problem. But for others who read this the solution is unbelievable. For the TFT its described that you have to use the 1kO resistors for the wires. So also its clear you have to share the Clock and MOSI lines between the TFT and the SD Card. So i startet after the nice explanation from David and test all the resistors between which line they are. And i found that the resistors named 103 on it and R3, R4 and R5 beside are the lines from the SDCard field named CLK, MOSI and CS. So i only soldered the resistors out and uses the 1kO from the Arduino to the TFT and it works perfectly.
So if you have a 1.8" TFT with the yellow pins for the TFT on the one side and NC, NC, CD, MOSI, MISO, CLK (last 4 are SDCard), CS, SCK, SDA, RS, RST (last 5 are TFT), NC, BL, NC, VCC, GND (from pin 16 to pin 1) solder 4 more pins in the SDCard holes and solder the R3, R4 and R5 resistors out.
Then connect like this http://labs.domipheus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/1_8_TFT.png and connect yellow pin 4 DIN to SDCard MOSI and yellow pin 5 CLK to SDCard CLK. Now SDCard MISO has to go to pin 12 in Arduino UNO (without resistor) and SDCard CS where ever you plan the cable select (with a 1kO resistor) (in the SDCard info sample sketch its D4 on Arduino).
After this the TFT works perfectly and also the SD Card. This is imho a easy to make solution and you have to do something on this PCB if you want to work with the SD Card.
This new library is a standalone library that contains the TFT driver as well as the graphics functions and fonts that were in the GFX library. This library has significant performance improvements when used with an UNO (or ATmega328 based Arduino) and MEGA.
Examples are included with the library, including graphics test programs. The example sketch TFT_Rainbow_one shows different ways of using the font support functions. This library now supports the "print" library so the formatting features of the "print" library can be used, for example to print to the TFT in Hexadecimal, for example:
To use the F_AS_T performance option the ILI9341 based display must be connected to an MEGA as follows:MEGA +5V to display pin 1 (VCC) and pin 8 (LED) UNO 0V (GND) to display pin 2 (GND)
TFT_ILI9341 library updated on 1st July 2015 to version 12, this latest version is attached here to step 8:Minor bug when rendering letter "T" in font 4 without background fixed
