arduino 2.6 2.8 tft lcd shield pdf project in stock

I am trying to make a truly Universal Remote Control out of this mess. I just got the Arduino Uno & the Display and put it together and there are NO pins left to operate an IR LED.

Can this 2.8" elegoo display play video at all? I"m trying to make a unit that an older woman, in her 80"s can play a video on it, if I set it up correctly? This is for a really good cause, I desperately need help, this is super important. Helping elderly folks with modern technology is tough. But I really need it to be able to play a video off the SD card if possible. Any help would be super highly appreciated.ReplyUpvote

Hello,please post our code also ..the screen driver must be known and that info must be known in order to get these things to work correctly..you show your code and then the vid blurs..Someone needs to write a pdf teaching how ,what ,when and why concerning these screens I would gladly pay $10.00 and I am sure others would too.I have 3 different tftlcds only 1 works its for the mega and Bomer has a lib for it,I am really considering use of Nextion units from now on 4 pins easy programming but higher cost...also the small cell phone screens use spi mode and are real easy to set up and use

The program runs and nothing is displayed but a white screen. when I open the COM4 I see that when I hit the screen numbers appear to calibrate the screens position so it is registering but not showing up on the LCD. please help me before I pull all my hair out.1

I"m thinking I need an Arduino Mega to do what I want - a Universal Remote. Because after mounting the display there are NO pins left for anything else.0

I"m having issues getting this display to work on my Arduino 101 board with the libraries that are suggested - errors in compiling seem to indicate that the board type isn"t supported in the Adafruit_TFTLCD library. Here"s a representative error:

I finally got the touchscreen to work correct using your links to the libraries. Found out that this specific TFT display module uses pin 6 & 7 for touch sensor, instead of the standard 4 & 5.0

I never received a response on this, so went through the painful process of copying code from the video. It can be found here for others that might need it. Not that this has some minor changes, but is fully functional and I will continue to refine: https://github.com/siliconghost/Arduino_2.8in_TFT_wSD

This is a versatile and Arduino/Seeeduino/Arduino Mega compatible resistive touch screen shield which can be used as display device, or sketch pad for user input/interface.

Compared with the previous version (2.8" TFT Touch Shield V1.0) we improved the screen driver with a professional chip (ILI9341) to provide the pin-saving SPI communication protocol without sacrificing the data transmission speed.

Circles isn"t the only thing our library can help you draw, we also have a lines, number, rectangle, and many more examples. Check those out as well to become a pro with the shield.

Function Description: The drawCircle function draws an empty circle with the center at the coordinates poX, and poY. The circle will be of radius r and the border color will be color. The color parameter is a 16-bit Red-Geen-Blue (RGB) integer, in the example code above the words YELLOW, CYAN, RED, and BLUE are defined as integers in the TFTv2.h file.

The TFT Touch Shield"s backlight is on by default since its control circuit is directly powered by the 5V pin. If, however, you wish to control the backlight"s on/off state using the Arduino Digital I/O pin 7, a simple modification will have to be made:

Now controlling the backlight"s state is as easy as controlling an LED, upload the following code to the Arduino board to see how to toggle the backlight every 500ms (1/2 second):

I still remember when I post my first Instructable post years ago, it"s a project about Arduino, I made a phone with Arduino. It"s called ArduinoPhone, even today I can get some comments from it, and I am glad to help others to make their own phone with Arduino.

Combining Arduino and other shield modules, we make a mobile phone named Arduino Phone. Meanwhile, we printed a shell for it with the 3D printer. Although it"s not such fine as you think, even a little bit clunky, it"s still very cool. That is the point this is a cell phone made by ourselves.

While, we can"t install Arduino Phone Apps limited by Arduino. So, if you want to play Angry Birds, then you need to do some big modifications on Arduino Phone. :)

might not be quite right, as the USE_MEGA_16BIT_SHIELD (using the special driver) had to be #define"d, along with the Identifier to 0x9595. (To be precise, I"ve already did this with my board that came in previously, with no avail.)

With that being said, ArekJan"s modified UTFT library to support the Hirax 8347-I now works too, straight out of the box, without any alterations to the source code. I"m mentioning this for the other unfortunate souls reading this forum: if your 8347-I display, similar to mine, stays white, no matter which library you get, try my approach (MCUFRIEND_kbv with the define and the proper Identifier, or the UTFT-8347i library). If they don"t seem to do anything, your display is a DOA, ready to be shipped back to the seller.

What I had done initially was that I had reduced the LCD SPI frequency to 5MHz or 10MHz. For some reason, I was trying to run the LCD at a lower SPI frequency, but still touch would not work. I even tried to reduce the touch frequency, even that did not work.

After all these discussions here and my last experience where I would get delayed touch inputs, I set the LCD SPI frequency to 40MHz and Touch SPI frequency set the default 2.5MHz. And that seems to have worked!

Before experimenting with the TouchPanel, the touchscreen must be calibrated according to the displayed prompts. Open the corresponding project, burn the program, and you will be prompted when running:

The demos are developed based on the HAL library. Download the program, find the STM32 program file directory, and open the STM32 with four project folders: DisplayString, DrawGraphic, ShowImage, and Touchscreen.
