3.2 tft lcd shield for arduino mega 2560 schematic for sale

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (3.2" diagonal) bright (5 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional resistive touch panel with controller XPT2046 attached by default and a optional capacitive touch panel with controller FT6206 attached by default, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen and doesn"t require pressing down on the screen with a stylus and has nice glossy glass cover.

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!

If you"ve had a lot of Arduino DUEs go through your hands (or if you are just unlucky), chances are you’ve come across at least one that does not start-up properly.The symptom is simple: you power up the Arduino but it doesn’t appear to “boot”. Your code simply doesn"t start running.You might have noticed that resetting the board (by pressing the reset button) causes the board to start-up normally.The fix is simple,here is the solution.

Begin by carefully starting the rear connector of the TFT shield onto the Arduino Mega. Go slowly and ensure that all pins are inserted correctly and are straight.

In order to use 3.2″ TFT lcd  Shield , We must have the libraries. So you can download  (UTFT Library) and (URTouch Library) install the library by extracting that zipped file in the library folder as shown below.

Put the screen(3.2 inch screen schematic) into shield (TFT01-3.2 shield schematic) first, then connect the shield to Arduino, it is quite straight forward.

3)Download and install UTFT ,URTouch ,SdFat,UTFT_Buttons and UTFT_SdRaw library file from following link and copy them into Arduino library folder. ( i.e. D:\arduino ide\Arduino 1.6.9\libraries )

Download the test program (https://kookye.com/download/3.2inchscreen/3.2_inch_touch_screen_test.zip), upzip and open it,then choose the correct board and port.

You will see the code in each sketch: UTFT myGLCD(CTE32_R2, 38, 39, 40, 41).The first value of code refer to the mode of LCD screen. Please write CTE32_R2 or ILI9341_16 if you LCD screen is ILI9341; Please write CTE32 if you LCD screen is SSD1289;

When you use the others LCD screen from the others seller, you could check the PDF instruction in documentation file or open the UTFT.h file to find the correct code.The controller mode could be identifitied by the back mark as the following pictures.

Note: In the project of testing the SD card，please insert the SD card into the slot in back of the 3.2’’ LCD screen. The format of files in SD card must be the FAT32, you need to put the test files(i.e. ICONS.RAW,WAIT4GPS.RAW,SK45) into the SD card root directory.

The SainSmart TFT LCD module works in 3.3V voltage level and you need to use cables to connect with Arduino Mega. And this shield can help you out of the bothers to use other cables. You just need to plug the module to Mega through this shield.

I puzzled some hours with exactly the same hardware setup and made a quick & dirty, but successfully test script, combining LCD, Touch and SD Card Features.

The display has Arduino written on it, and one should assume that there are saner ways of using it than you propose. I hesitate to buy deeply into this circus, but it rather looks like an absurd exercise in re-inventing the wheel, and I think you should look at finding a shield that enables the display to be plugged straight into a Mega.

Life is much easier when you buy a ready-made Shield and learn how to plug it into a ready-made Arduino. Adafruit, Waveshare, Seeed, ... design shields properly. Mcufriend design badly.
