arduino gps tft lcd quotation

1st Arduino project, beyond the very basic intros, and no coding experience before this endeavor, so I"m sure I"m just not searching the right things/way to figure this out.

The project - replacing gauges in my truck with Arduino+TFT display. As a starter, I"m working strictly on single fuel gauge functionality, and eventually including dual fuel gauges (2 separate fuel tanks in truck), voltage gauge, coolant temp gauge, and GPS driven speedometer. Yeah...I"m already realizing I"m in for a bit of a steep learning curve here, lol.

The setup - Genuine Arduino Mega 2560, Seeed Studio 2.8" touchscreen sheild V1.0, aftermarket universal style fuel sender. Sender is connected to Analog pin 9 through a voltage divider circuit running roughly 1.5VDC-4.95VDC, and I get appropriate numbers from the serial monitor when cycling the sender. I"m not currently utilizing the touch features of the screen, though I may in the future. RIght now it"s strictly a display device. I did find out how to modify the TFT.h file to get the display to function on the Mega board, and am writing static text to it currently.

This is my current code. I started with the Draw Text example sketch, and modified it for my use. dTankPin is the variable I set for the driver"s side fuel tank, with dLevel being the variable set to store the reading I get from the sender. I set static text lines for Tank - D, Tank - P (driver and passenger side fuel tanks), Volts, and C/T (coolant temp), then MPH for the future GPS speedometer. The commented out lines in there are just static values I added to initially set font size to fit the screen, but that I want to replace with the dynamic values i get from reading the various sensors.

So I know that i need to set up Tft.init(); but the only problem is it halts the gps shield after one loop even though i set it in void function. .....And i know Tft.drawString is going to literally write what i put in quotes but i dont know how to put in lcdString as the String I want....Sorry I know nothing

But i can tell you that it is a seeed v.1 Tft shield. I am using Tft library, I have tried UTFT but its too bulkey and i dont want to spend to time guessing what i can get rid of. I have a iTead v1.1 gps shield with SD and i can log to the SD fine. I had to change the baud rate of the itead shield to get the gps radio to work properly. So basically i want to print the lcdString I created to the screen and have it scroll or erase

Serial.println(F("          (deg)      (deg)       Age                      Age  (m)    --- from GPS ----  ---- to London  ----  RX    RX        Fail"));

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (9" diagonal) bright (30 white-LED backlight) and colorfu 800x480 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional capacitive and resistive touch panel attached on screen 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).

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!

For 9 inch screen,the high current is needed.But the current of arduino uno or arduino mega board is low, an external 5V power supply is needed. Refer to the image shows the external power supply position on shield ER-AS-RA8875.

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.

Few days ago somebody asked me to make Instructable on how to show GPS Latitude, and Longitude on a LCD Display. I promised to make one, and here it is.

In this Instructable, I will show you how you can connect Serial GPS Module, and I2C LCD Display to Arduino Nano, and show the location data from the GPS on the LCD.

Please note that since the Arduino Nano has only one Serial Port and it is used to program the board, you will need to program the Arduino before you connect the Serial GPS Module!

Since the Arduino Nano has only one Serial port, and it is needed to program the Arduino, you will need to program the Arduino Nano before the GPS is connected.

Type "lcd" in the Filter box of the Component Toolbox then select the "Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) - I2C" component (Picture 3), and drop it in the design area

Connect the "Latitude" output pin of the "Location" box of the GPS1 component to the "In" pin of the Elements.AnalogField1 element of the LiquidCrystalDisplay1component (Picture 1)

Connect the "Longitude" output pin of the "Location" box of the GPS1 component to the "In" pin of the Elements.AnalogField2 element of the LiquidCrystalDisplay1component (Picture 2)

Once the Arduino Nano is programmed, it is time to connect the hardware:Connect Ground(Black wire), Power(Red wire), SDA(Green wire), and SCL(Yellow wire) to the LCD Module (Picture 1)

Connect the Male ends of the 3 Power wires(Red wires) - from the Display, the GPSModule, and the Arduino togetheras example with the help of a Breadboard (Picture) - In my case I used a small Breadboard

Picture 1 shows the connected and powered up project. If you power up the project, after a while the blue LED of the GPS will start blinking about once a second as you can see on the Video. Usually shortly after that, the GPS will start sending location data, and it will be shown on the LCD. Depending on the location, it can take up to few minutes to show the location data. If after few minutes the data is still not shown, power down the project wait about a minute and power it again to reset the GPS.

You should use Visuino to generate the Arduino C++ code to make sure the generated code is compatible with the latest version of the libraries. Otherwise if I send you generated code, it will become obsolete soon, as I constantly improve the libraries. You can use Visuino for free to generate the code. It runs for 10 minutes every time you run it even unregistered, so you can always generate the up to date code with it ;-)0

Thanks so much for this, However mine just displays a blank screen? Not sure why , everything is setup correctly, am standing outside, and the GPS has a connection (referring to constant blinking light)

Repeat steps 5, and 6 and then connect the speed to the 3th Analog element of the LCD similar to Step 7. You may need to change the location and Width of some of the fields to fit them all on the LCD, or use an LCD with more rows.0

The 18bit TFT color screen Arduino shield has 128x160 color pixels. It is not a CSTN screen as in the LCD color screen shield, but a TFT, that has better refreshment rate and more beautiful colors (18bits = 262 144 colors!).

The 18bits TFT color screen Arduino shield contains a 3V/5V voltage regulator so you can use it with 5V Arduino board even if the TFT driver (ST7735R) asks for 3.3V. It uses only four pins to communicate with the Arduino board (pins 13, 11, 10, 8).

There is also a 5 positions joystick: up, down, left, right, select. It will be very useful if you wish to display a menu on the TFT screen. The joystick of the 18bits TFT color screen Arduino shield uses the analog pin 3. A bnch of resistors allows to determine the position of the joystick from the analog voltage.

And, as there was some room left, Adafruit aded a microSD slot on the 18bits TFT color screen Arduino shield to allow you to save images on it. It uses the 12 and 4 digital pins.

A very complete user"s manual will show you how to solder the connectors, where to download the graphical libraries for Arduino and how to use the 18bits TFT color screen shield for Arduino.

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)

In the above example, Node32-Lite and this 1.8-inch LCD.  Please refer to the tutorial here: ST7735S interfacing with ESP32 to make the connections, Arduino library installation, and modification needed for it to works on this LCD.

Let"s get started with this creative Arduino project, where you"ll learn about the TFT LCD touch screen and how to use it to create your own colourful calculator. For a basic understanding of touch screen & LCD, a cheap TFT 2.4" Arduino shield is used to create this project. For creating a similar project, one should follow the steps and edit the code for better understanding.

The shield connects ILI9341"s data pins 0-7 to Arduino"s digital pins 2-8 (allowing parallel communication, not SPI. ILI9341"s RESET goes to Arduino analog pin A4. CS (chip select) to A3. RS (CD command/data) to A2. WR and RD to A1 and A0.

Now, open Arduino IDE and select Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP library. A browser window will open navigate to the ZIP file and click “OK”. You should notice “Library added to your Libraries” on the bottom-left corner of Arduino, if successful.

You can also find an SD card slot at the bottom of the module shown above, which can be used to load an SD card with BMP image files, and these images can be displayed on our TFT LCD screen using the Arduino Program.

The 2.4” TFT LCD screen is a perfect Arduino Shield. You can directly push the LCD screen on top of the Arduino Uno and it will perfectly match with the pins and slid in through. However, as matters of safety cover the programming terminal of your Arduino UNO with some insulator, just in case if the terminal comes in contact with your TFT LCD screen.

This DIY GPS navigation system is built under $25 and uses Arduino with a GPS module and a 320*240 TFT to display the topographical maps stored as BMP files on an SD card.

Based on the combination of TFT module and Arduino UNO fram Banggood and the GPS module from the same supplier I built a basic GPS navigation system that uses the topographical maps of The Netherlands (top25raster). In total there are 304 bmp files on an SD card, so the images are very detailed! In principle any 8 bit bmp map can be used. The maps were obtained from www.kadaster.nl, the software is based upon modules from Adafruit.
