tft display mega shield factory

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.3" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 320x240 pixels with individual pixel control.

The shield is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up our library - you"ll have it running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino (Due/Mega 2560).

This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. You can connect more sensors, buttons and LEDs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So, the new auto import puts libraries where they need to be. Using IDE Arduino 1.5.2 you can import the zip file ( Sketch|> Import Library|> Add Library...) the 32lcd.zip file from Sain Smart document needs to be renamed because it starts with a number so rename the zip to something like SS32lcd.zip. The automatic import of arduino 1.5.2 IDE will put the UTFT library files in the right place. You will still need to copy the example folder over to the example folder in the ....\arduino-1.5.2 IDE installed folder for them to show up in the File|>Examples|> menu. You can save your changes into your sketchbook and your customization will be preserved there.

Using this TFT LCD Mega Expansion Shield V2.2 for Arduino MEGA the users can now directly plug the LCD shields from 3.2″ to 5″ onto the Arduino Mega board.

TFT01 LCD works in 3.3V so that it can not be used directly on top of the Arduino motherboard, in order to make the TFT01 LCD compatible use with the Arduino board. Designed this section TFT Shield, it can be directly plugged into Arduino board Using the TFT01 LCD module.

The TFT01 LCD is now supported 16-bit mode, it will not exist encounter like in 328S, only using a set of SD card interface or touch screen interface for Arduino Mega256.
