2.4 tft lcd shield library free sample

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.

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.

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This IPS TFT display is 2.4" diagonal and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional capacitive touch panel and resistive touch panel with controller XPT2046 attached by default.

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 (UNO/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.

Of course, we wouldn"t just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - we"ve written a full open source graphics library at the bottom of this page that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. We also have a touch screen library that detects x,y and z (pressure) and example code to demonstrate all of it. The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

1.2.4 inch arduino shield with resistive touch panel could only support Due board. It can support DUE,UNO,MEGA2560 boad if matched with capacitive touch panel.

This module is a 2.4-inch TFT LCD module with “320X240” resolution and 65K color display. It is suitable for Arduino Uno and Mega2560 development boards, and also supports SD card expansion function. It uses 8-bit parallel port communication, and the driver IC is ILI9341.

The 2.4-inch display is a ready-made shield for Arduino Uno, which can also be placed on the Arduino Mega. The pins of this shield are designed to be easily installed on the Arduino. The bad point about these modules is that they use all Arduino Uno pins.

HY-TFT240 is a 2.4 inch TFT LCD Screen module, 320*240 (resolution), 65K color, 40pins interface , not just a LCD breakout, but include the Touch screen, SD card. So it’s a powerful extension module for your project.

This Screen includes a controller ILI9320, it’s 8 bit data interface, easy to drive by many MCU like STM32 ,AVR and 8051.HY-TFT240 is designed with a touch controller in it . The touch IC is XPT2046 , and touch interface is included in the 40 pins breakout. Another useful extension in this module is the SD Card socket . It use the SPI mode to operate the SD card, the SPI interface include in the 40pins breakout.

UTFT library is required to be installed to get this screen model display. This library is especially designed for TFT LCD screen using 16 bit mode. The library require the following connections.

Note: The TFT controller model needs to be declared in the initializing statement. UTFT myGLCD(38,39,40,41) needs to be modified as myGLCD(GEEE24,38,39,40,41) when using Arduino Mega2560.UTFT myGLCD(GEEE24,19,18,17,16) needs to be commented when using Aduino UNO. Otherwise it just show a blank screen. In practice, RS, WR, CS, RSET can be connected to any free pin. But the pin number must be in accord with myGLCD(RS,WR,CS,RST).

The LCD has a 2.4" 4-wire resistive touch screen lying over it. The Touch library needs to be installed to get it works. This library is designed for 2.4’’ TFT, 2.8” TFT LCD screen module.

The default setting is not accurate for 2.4” TFT module, so you need to calibrate when using 2.4” TFT module. A program to calibrate the touch screen is included in the example. If you touch screen is inaccurate, you need to run touch_calibration. Follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the touch screen. Better not use your finger to calibrate it, use your accessory touch pen to pressure the frontsight with stength. Then record the calibration parameters and apply them in ITDB02_Touch.cpp in your touch screen library.

The above shield can be easily topped over an Arduino UNO. Hence, there is no need to bother about pin arrangements or circuit setup. Just be gentle when connecting the LCD Display to Arduino to avoid breaking the pins of the LCD.

Figure below shows the pinout of the LCD module when connected to an Arduino UNO. The numbered pin boxes located outside of the figure shows the respective Arduino Pins when the shield connected is stacked on top of Arduino Uno.

D/CX pin in table above is equivalent to RS pin from the LCD. D[17:0]refers to the Data Pin. DataPins from LCD Module refers to pin LCD_D0to LCD_D7which are 8 pins in total. These pins are connected to Arduino Digital Pin 2 – 9. For this tutorial, we are not utilizing the SD Card pins.

Understand that when we are communicating a certain instruction to LCD Display from the microcontroller or Arduino UNO in our case, there will generally be two components to it; which are command and data. Command part will instruct the LCD on what instruction we’re working on, at a given time. For instance, setting colours and address, sleep, max and min voltage, LCD awake and sleep, write to memory and many more. Subsequently, we will send Data command which contains relevant or supporting information for the Command part that we sent earlier. It is also important to note, that some LCD instructions works using Command part alone in which we shall discuss the examples later.

#defineLCD_RDA0//Serves as read signal/MCU read data at the rising edge. Pg11 Datasheet#defineLCD_WRA1//Serves as write signal/command at the rising edge#defineLCD_RSA2//D/CX (0=Command/1=Data)#defineLCD_CSA3//Chip Select Pin : Active Low#defineLCD_RSTA4//Shield Reset

At this stage, we are defining our RD, WRX, D/CX, CS and Reset PIN from LCD to Arduino Analog Pins. This configuration is very crucial as assigning wrong PIN will result in almost guaranteed failure, hence be sure to double check. If you are using different type of shield or manually wiring the connections, then you can change analog PINS accordingly.

In our void LCD Write, we are writing values to our Data Pins. Data written into this void or function are written to LCD Data Pins from microcontroller thru Port Command after converted to binary format. Port command can set multiple pins to HIGH or LOW seamlessly. LCD_WR pin are changed accordingly to create a rising edge signal as per the Write Cycle Sequence discussed earlier.

This void is used to write the Command Instructions into the LCD Display. As discussed earlier from the Write Cycle Sequence, LCD_RS or DC/X pin will be set to LOW state when sending command instructions. Example of Command Instructions will be 0x2C, 0x0F,0x20 and many more.

This void is used to write data information. Contrarily, when communication data information that comes after command instruction, we will set the LCD_RS or DC/X pin to High state.

The above command is used in setting VCOM High and Low Voltage. The calibration set here kind of functions similar to contrast adjustment. Try varying these values as per the datasheet to get the best display on your LCD.

LCD_command_write(0x36);//Memory Access Control | DataSheet Page 127LCD_data_write(0x48);//Adjust this value to get right color andstarting pointofx and y//LCD_data_write(B00001000); //Example

The above command (0x36) defines read/write scanning direction of frame memory based on ILI9341 datasheet. Try varying the values to understand the function of this command. Based on my analysis, any changes in this command can alter your starting X and Y position and RGB or BGR color orientations. Hence, it is important to do some experimentation to understand how your LCD behaves to each changes in this command.

LCD_command_write(0x11);//Sleep Out | DataSheet Page 245delay(10);//Necessary to wait 5msec before sending next commandLCD_command_write(0x29);//Display on.LCD_command_write(0x2c);//Memory Write | DataSheet Page 245

The above command (0x11) command causes the LCD module to enter the minimum power consumption mode. Command (0x29) is used to recover from DISPLAY OFF mode while command (0x2c) transfers data from MCU to frame memory.

voidAddress_set(int16_t y1, int16_t y2, int16_t x1, int16_t x2){LCD_command_write(0x2a);//Column Address Set | DataSheet Page 110LCD_data_write(y1>>8);//8 Bit Shift Right of x1LCD_data_write(y1);//Value of x1LCD_data_write(y2>>8);//8 Bit Shift Right of x2LCD_data_write(y2);//Value of x2LCD_command_write(0x2b);//Page Address Set | DataSheet Page 110LCD_data_write(x1>>8);//8 Bit Shift Right of y1LCD_data_write(x1);//Value of y1LCD_data_write(x2>>8);//8 Bit Shift Right of y2LCD_data_write(x2);//Value of y2LCD_command_write(0x2c);// REG 2Ch = Memory Write}

Command (0x2A) writes the Column Address or Y-Coordinates of your LCD Display whereas command (0x2B) writes the Page Address or X-Coordinates of your LCD Display. When combined together, it helps the LCD Processor understand the area that we are working on, in a LCD Display. This instruction is necessary before drawing pixels or any combination of shapes. As the Column and Page address are 16 bit information, we are using 8bit shift (>>8). Once Column and Page address are set, we will then communicate these information from MCU to frame memory by using 0x2C command.

voiddrawPixel(int16_t x, int16_t y, uint16_t color){digitalWrite(LCD_CS,LOW);// Chip Select activeAddress_set(y,y+1,x,x+1);LCD_command_write(0x2C);LCD_data_write(color>>8);LCD_data_write(color);}

The above is a simple function that draws a pixel in LCD Display. A pixel will always be a constituent for all other designs such as a lines, rectangles, circles and even images. Hence, it is good to start from here to gain proper understanding on writing programs that will help to create shapes, images and design. The coordinates and color for the pixel are 16 bit information and therefore we are using data types int16_t. Color is a 16 bit information and therefore we are using bit 8-bit shift to right again. We will learn more about color in the next tutorial.

voidsetup(){// Setting Pin 2-7 as Output, DDR is PinMode Commnand, Pin0,1 UntouchedDDRD=DDRD|B11111100;// Setting Pin 8-9 as OutputDDRB=DDRB|B00000011;//Setting Analog Pins A4-A0 as OutputDDRC=DDRC|B00011111;Lcd_Init();Serial.begin(9600);}

Now, let’s look into void setup. DDR command is a pinMode command. It sets whether a certain pin should be input or output pin. Using DDR command allows us to easily change pinMode of multiple pins. From PortD, we are setting Pin 2-7 as Output Pins. Next, we are setting Pin 8-9 as Output from Port B. Once the necessary PINS are set as Output, we run our LCD_Init void so that the initialization can begin.

With this, we have come to the end our code. I hope this tutorial has given you a fair amount of understanding in using LCD that uses ILI9341. By controlling the LCD without a library gives you more flexibility and the joy of learning. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog. Feel free to post your comment and questions.
