Basically what I am trying to do is to use Arduino and LCD to measure voltage of 2 batteries (through voltage divider), then connect 2 DHT22 to measure inside/outside temperature and humidity. Also would like to keep option to load bmp as screensaver.

To interface TFT LCD Display with Arduino, for designing custom HMI TFT LCD Display provide rich colours, detailed images, and bright graphics with their full-colour RGB mode it comes in different pixels 128 x 160 pixels, 320×240 pixels and many more.

In this tutorial, we’ll interface the 1.8 TFT LCD display with Arduino Uno. You’ll learn how to interface the TFT LCD with Arduino to write text on this LCD. This tutorial presents the coding, wiring diagram and components list required for the LCD display.

Creating an interface between the user and the system is very important. This interface can be created by displaying useful data, and menus. There are several components to achieving this. LEDs, 7-segments, OLEDs, and full-color TFT LCDs. The right component for your projects depends on the amount of data to be displayed, and the type of user interaction.

TFT LCD is a variant of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses thin-film-transistor (TFT) technology to improve image qualities such as addressability and contrast. In the case of Arduino, the processor frequency is low. So it is not possible to display complex and high-speed motions. Therefore, full-colour TFT LCDs can only be used to display simple data and commands. This TFT has 128 x 160 pixels. 1.8 TFT display can load images from an SD card. It has an SD card slot at the back. You can see the front and back views of the TFT LCD in the figures below.

TFT is an abbreviation of “Thin Film Transistor”. It has transistors made up of thin films of Amorphous silicon. It serves as a control valve to provide an appropriate voltage onto liquid crystals for individual sub-pixels. The working principle is very simple the TFT LCD composes of many pixels that can emit light of any colour. The desired image achieves by controlling each pixel to display the corresponding colour. In TFT LCD, the backlight technology is generally used. In order to accurately control the colour and brightness of each pixel, it is necessary to install a shutter-like switch after each pixel. When the “blinds” are opened, light can pass through them. When the shutters are closed, light cannot pass through them.

As usual, I suggest adding from now to your favourite e-commerce shopping cart all the needed hardware, so that at the end you will be able to evaluate overall costs and decide if continue with the project or remove them from the shopping cart. So, hardware will be only:

Connect your PC to Arduino and open Arduino IDE. For the very first steps, you can refer to Connecting Windows PC with Arduino tutorial. You can get the .ino code and libraries from my download area with the following link:

This is the section before setup which uses for globe variables defining and libraries additions. TFT.h is the library for TFT LCD Display and uses for writing and drawing on the display. The TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, so you need to include the SPI library.

This is the setup section in which Serial.begin(9600) initialize. TFTscreen.begin() is use to initialize the library. TFTscreen.background(0, 0, 0) is use to customize the screen background color here TFTscreen.background(0, 0, 0) means the background colour is black. TFTscreen.setTextSize(2) is use to set the font size.

In the loop section first, we will print the “Hi_peppe8o!” in the centre of the LCD and this will be in three different colours (Red, Green, Blue) you can choose any colour using the different colour codes. After 300 milliseconds a straight line will be displayed, after 300 milliseconds a square will be displayed, after 300 milliseconds a circle will be displayed, and after 300 milliseconds screen will be black/ erase and these all shapes and the text will be repeated in the void loop.

The LCD displays the text of “Hi_peppe80” and after that displays the line, square, and circle and then erases everything after completing this sequence. The command used for clearing all the data is TFTscreen.background(0,0,0):

In this guide we’re going to show you how you can use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino. You’ll learn how to wire the display, write text, draw shapes and display images on the screen.

The 1.8 TFT is a colorful display with 128 x 160 color pixels. The display can load images from an SD card – it has an SD card slot at the back. The following figure shows the screen front and back view.

This module uses SPI communication – see the wiring below . To control the display we’ll use the TFT library, which is already included with Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and later.

The TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, so you need to include the SPI library on your code. We also use the TFT library to write and draw on the display.

The 1.8 TFT display can load images from the SD card. To read from the SD card you use the SD library, already included in the Arduino IDE software. Follow the next steps to display an image on the display:

Note: some people find issues with this display when trying to read from the SD card. We don’t know why that happens. In fact, we tested a couple of times and it worked well, and then, when we were about to record to show you the final result, the display didn’t recognized the SD card anymore – we’re not sure if it’s a problem with the SD card holder that doesn’t establish a proper connection with the SD card. However, we are sure these instructions work, because we’ve tested them.

In this guide we’ve shown you how to use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino: display text, draw shapes and display images. You can easily add a nice visual interface to your projects using this display.

This TFT LCD Screen Module, 40pins interface, not just a LCD screen but include the Touch, SD card and Flash design. So it’s a powerful extension module for your project.

Because TFT01 LCD is working at 3.3V voltage, it cannot be used directly on top of a standard Arduino board, so in order to make TFT01 LCD compatible for using on standard Arduino board, designed section TFT Shield, can be directly plugged into the Arduino board that use TFT01 LCD module

TFT01 LCD 16 can support the current mode, since there is sufficient Mega2560 IO, while using only a touch screen interface or SD card interface, like in the case of face 328S will not exist.

The first part of this three-part series discussed common touchscreen technologies and their typical use-cases. Then, the second part investigated a few readily available and affordable touch display options for makers and hobbyists. This article documents how to get started with one of the recommended Arduino-compatible 2.8” resistive touchscreens from part two.

The TFT display I use contains a resistive overlay, which allows users to control an Arduino-based project with touch inputs. The display controller that comes with the touchscreen supports a few different communication methods. However, I’ll only outline two of them as I find these to be the most useful. The first method uses eight parallel communication lines to transmit pixel data from the Arduino to the display. I recommend using this method in multimedia applications where the Arduino needs to transfer a lot of pixel data.

The second method involves using SPI to communicate with the display controller. Doing so saves a few digital I/O lines with the tradeoff of being slower than the parallel communication method. To enable the display’s SPI mode, you have to close these three solder pad jumpers on the bottom side of the board:

Note that I used the SPI method to send data from the Arduino to the display. Either way, in addition to the pixel data lines, you’ll further need to employ two additional digital I/O lines and two more analog pins of the Arduino if you want to add resistive touch detection to your project. In addition, this touchscreen module comes with a built-in micro SD card reader I won’t discuss further in this article.

You have to install two libraries before you can send image data to the TFT display. First, use the Arduino IDE’s built-in library manager to download the Adafruit ILI9341 library. This package handles low-level communication between the Arduino and the display controller IC. Then, download the Adafruit_GFX library. The second library contains helpful code for drawing graphics primitives such as simple shapes and text. I recommend you read this article if you don’t know how to use the library manager in the Arduino IDE.

This short test program first initializes the TFT display in the setup()-function. Then, I defined a few helper methods. The resetAndClearScreen()-method resets the display’s rotation and erases all previously drawn pixels. The next function is drawIntroText(). It prints a short status message in the top left corner of the display. Lastly, drawTouchButton() creates a rectangle at the specified position with the given width and height. Then, the method places a string at the center of the previously drawn rectangle. As the name suggests, I’ll later use these rectangles to detect user inputs. The loop()-method refreshes the screen twice a second. But because there’s no interactivity built into the program yet, users can’t change what the screen displays at this point.

To use the resistive touch capabilities of this display, download the Adafruit_TouchScreen library using the Arduino IDE’s built-in library manager. The example code from above prints a few lines of text and then draws two touch buttons. Next, we’ll have to detect when a user presses one of the buttons. If that happens, the Arduino should refresh the screen and draw all the components using different colors. Therefore, I added the following method to detect whether a user touched one of the buttons:

The touchedWithin()-function is easy to understand. The first parameter represents the coordinates of the detected input. Then, the helper method checks whether these x and y coordinates are within the button’s dimensions.

Before making the previously discussed calls to the various draw-functions, the loop() method also checks whether the user touched the resistive screen. The TSPoint class contains a z-value we can use to determine how hard a user pressed down on the screen. This z-value is also perfect for preventing the Arduino from detecting unwanted inputs. If the z-value is greater than a fixed threshold value, the Arduino detects a touch input. The code then calls the touchedWithin()-function to determine whether the user pressed one of the buttons.

Arduino-compatible touchscreens allow you to quickly add a touchscreen to your existing or new DIY projects. Simple-to-use libraries let you get the display up and running in practically no time. The screen I used offers a few ways for devices to send pixel data to it. A parallel interface allows you to achieve higher screen refresh rates, which might be essential in multimedia applications. The parallel interface is also perfect for MCUs with a large number of I/O pins. The SPI method, on the other hand, is a bit slower compared to parallel communication. It, however, allows you to cut down on the number of required I/O pins, which is the preferred option in most Arduino projects.
