arduino 5 tft lcd touch screen shield ra8875 made in china

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (5" diagonal) bright (12 white-LED backlight) and colorfu 480x272 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional 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).

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!

For 5 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.

I2C is okay for a character based LCD but it is waaayyy too slow to drive a TFT, it"s by far the worst choice, even with the 400khz high speed version. SPI is a reasonable choice if I/O pins are in short supply, SPI with DMA is even better.

A display shield is the fastest and easiest way to get a TFT LCD up and running on an Arduino. There is an undefined "standard" for this, ultilizing a 20x2 header pin connection to the LCD, a typical example:

The graphics drivers are on the LCD board, common types are the SSD1963 and RA8875. Buydisplay sells both driver types with the standard 20x2 connector and shields as well. It"s probably worth a mention that there are far more driver choices in smaller displays but when you get to the higher pixel counts, the field narrows rapidly.

Parallel I/O, 16 bits wide, is usually the fastest way to drive a screen but the Due presents a conundrum in that regard as the designers mapped the physical ports to the digital pins rather poorly, the result being you have to bit twiddle and write to multiple hardware ports to achieve parallel I/O, thereby decreasing the overall efficiency. This is really not a concern if you"re using an exsisting library, only if you"re writing your own code but I mention this as you said you would be making your own board - and so you could address this deficiency.

I don"t actually have a display at present. I purchased a 7in one some months ago. It had an LT7381 controller and was supplied with a Hunda LT7381 library for Arduino and some basic display design software. However, I couldn"t get the hardware to work despite it being described as Arduino compatible. As it turned out, it also didn"t display anything when used with the supplied USB adaptor and design software for the PC, so it may have been faulty anyway. I posted something at the time but the controller is quite new and there was not much feedback. I ended up sending it back and getting a refund although it still cost me to send it back to china.

The reason I posted was because the project is now at the stage where the LCD display really needs to be added and I intended to get advice before making another purchase. In the meantime I have been working on the project using a 20x4 display.

I don"t posses an Arduino shield which is why I was trying to ascertain whether I need something like that. What is their purpose? A lot of photos show the display plugged into one and then into typically a Mega 2560. I don"t understand what the purpose of the shield is? Is it just a convenient way to provide a means of fitting the board to an Arduino with level shifting? SPI needs only 4 wires. Can"t these be connected directly to the ESP SPI pins?

I have had great/fairly painless results using the larger 4 and 5 inch displays from BuyDisplay, however these use an RA8875 display driver and sheild.

I need a bit smaller and less power hungry unit for my next project, so i ordered up the 3.5 inch, 480x320 display (and sheild) that uses the ILI9488 driver with the CAP touch option.

I"ve used this size display from cheaper sources, but most of these only come with a resistive touch panel and they don"t look all that great. Those use the SPI interface.

ER-TFTM035-6-4123 is 3.5 inch tft lcd display with adaptor board,ILI9488 arduino shield,examples,library.Optional touch panel,arduino mega2560.due board.

The example code compiles and loads just fine on the DUE, however i simply cannot get the TFT to work. The CAP touch seems to work fine, and reports touches to the serial terminal, but the screen remains white no matter what.

The included example uses the UTFT library, and, as I have yet to find a tutorial on using the library, i"ve just dug into the examples and the library .H files to try and sort out how to use it. As near as i can tell, the UTFT library supports many different typed of displays and SPI/parallel modes. so to initialize the display you put something like

So I set about checking the wiring diagram for both the shield and the display module, double checking the jumpers and trying to sort out the various pins."

As near as i can tell, both the display module and the shield are set up for the 16 bit parallel interface, but where it gets confusing is the shield schem doesn"t look like it matches up with the example code. for starters, the shield jumpers are not labeled like they are in the schem, and, according to the scem, pins 25-28 are used for the data bus, not the control pins. The control pins look to be on 7,8,9,and 10, but as there are several jumpers, and jumpers from jumpers, and they are not labeled on the shield, Im going in circles. add that to the fact that the Scem doesnt show the RS or WR pins, and alternate names need to be assumed ( RS=DC=A0 ) and there are at least 2 DC pins on the schem, a couple W\R options.

Im pretty sure, if Im to believe the scem, that arduino pins 9 and 10 are CS and RST respectively, but the RS and WR pins could be any combination of arduino pins

Has anyone gotten this to work? I may have another display i can try, possible i have a bad one, but the more i dig into this the more i think im just not setting the control pins right, or not initializing the tft correctly. Would realy like to use this display, and keep the 16 bit mode, i care much more about speed than pins.

I am using a 5inch Buydisplay RA8875 TFT ( 5"TFT LCD Display Capacitive Touchscreen w/RA8875 Controller 800x480 ) with buydisplay RA8875 shield and Arduino Mega

Initially I programmed the flash chip with an image but since it was not working I simply programmed the flash with 00 throughout so I should get a complete black screen (I also tried FF to get white screen)

I am burning the example code as given in GitHub - schuppeste/RA8875Ada-BTE: Adafruit 1.0.0 old Library with BTE Extension for SPI-Flash to print the image with few very basic modifications. Following is the code:

and in that case the screen become completely pink instead of top 100 rows. This essentially means that dispicown is working however the problem is that it is reading garbage from the flash.

ER-TFTM050-2-4125 is 5 inch tft lcd display with RA8875 controller board,arduino shield,examples,library.Optional touch panel,arduino mega2560,due or uno board.

In this article, you will learn how to use TFT LCDs by Arduino boards. From basic commands to professional designs and technics are all explained here.

There are several components to achieve this. LEDs,  7-segments, Character and Graphic displays, and full-color TFT LCDs. The right component for your projects depends on the amount of data to be displayed, type of user interaction, and processor capacity.

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. A TFT LCD is an active matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs or simple, direct-driven LCDs with a few segments.

In Arduino-based projects, the processor frequency is low. So it is not possible to display complex, high definition images and high-speed motions. Therefore, full-color TFT LCDs can only be used to display simple data and commands.

After choosing the right display, It’s time to choose the right controller. If you want to display characters, tests, numbers and static images and the speed of display is not important, the Atmega328 Arduino boards (such as Arduino UNO) are a proper choice. If the size of your code is big, The UNO board may not be enough. You can use Arduino Mega2560 instead. And if you want to show high resolution images and motions with high speed, you should use the ARM core Arduino boards such as Arduino DUE.

In electronics/computer hardware a display driver is usually a semiconductor integrated circuit (but may alternatively comprise a state machine made of discrete logic and other components) which provides an interface function between a microprocessor, microcontroller, ASIC or general-purpose peripheral interface and a particular type of display device, e.g. LCD, LED, OLED, ePaper, CRT, Vacuum fluorescent or Nixie.

The LCDs manufacturers use different drivers in their products. Some of them are more popular and some of them are very unknown. To run your display easily, you should use Arduino LCDs libraries and add them to your code. Otherwise running the display may be very difficult. There are many free libraries you can find on the internet but the important point about the libraries is their compatibility with the LCD’s driver. The driver of your LCD must be known by your library. In this article, we use the Adafruit GFX library and MCUFRIEND KBV library and example codes. You can download them from the following links.

You must add the library and then upload the code. If it is the first time you run an Arduino board, don’t worry. Just follow these steps:Go to www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and download the software of your OS. Install the IDE software as instructed.

First you should convert your image to hex code. Download the software from the following link. if you don’t want to change the settings of the software, you must invert the color of the image and make the image horizontally mirrored and rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise. Now add it to the software and convert it. Open the exported file and copy the hex code to Arduino IDE. x and y are locations of the image. sx and sy are sizes of image. you can change the color of the image in the last input.

Upload your image and download the converted file that the UTFT libraries can process. Now copy the hex code to Arduino IDE. x and y are locations of the image. sx and sy are size of the image.

In this template, We just used a string and 8 filled circles that change their colors in order. To draw circles around a static point ,You can use sin();  and cos(); functions. you should define the PI number . To change colors, you can use color565(); function and replace your RGB code.

In this template, We converted a .jpg image to .c file and added to the code, wrote a string and used the fade code to display. Then we used scroll code to move the screen left. Download the .h file and add it to the folder of the Arduino sketch.

In this template, We used sin(); and cos(); functions to draw Arcs with our desired thickness and displayed number by text printing function. Then we converted an image to hex code and added them to the code and displayed the image by bitmap function. Then we used draw lines function to change the style of the image. Download the .h file and add it to the folder of the Arduino sketch.

In this template, We added a converted image to code and then used two black and white arcs to create the pointer of volumes.  Download the .h file and add it to the folder of the Arduino sketch.

In this template, We added a converted image and use the arc and print function to create this gauge.  Download the .h file and add it to folder of the Arduino sketch.

while (a < b) { Serial.println(a); j = 80 * (sin(PI * a / 2000)); i = 80 * (cos(PI * a / 2000)); j2 = 50 * (sin(PI * a / 2000)); i2 = 50 * (cos(PI * a / 2000)); tft.drawLine(i2 + 235, j2 + 169, i + 235, j + 169, tft.color565(0, 255, 255)); tft.fillRect(200, 153, 75, 33, 0x0000); tft.setTextSize(3); tft.setTextColor(0xffff); if ((a/20)>99)

while (b < a) { j = 80 * (sin(PI * a / 2000)); i = 80 * (cos(PI * a / 2000)); j2 = 50 * (sin(PI * a / 2000)); i2 = 50 * (cos(PI * a / 2000)); tft.drawLine(i2 + 235, j2 + 169, i + 235, j + 169, tft.color565(0, 0, 0)); tft.fillRect(200, 153, 75, 33, 0x0000); tft.setTextSize(3); tft.setTextColor(0xffff); if ((a/20)>99)

In this template, We display simple images one after each other very fast by bitmap function. So you can make your animation by this trick.  Download the .h file and add it to folder of the Arduino sketch.

In this template, We just display some images by RGBbitmap and bitmap functions. Just make a code for touchscreen and use this template.  Download the .h file and add it to folder of the Arduino sketch.

Eastrising, as far I know, uses random TFT to build their screen, lately the changed displays and now mine are old, cannot say what they are currently use. I"ve recently buy an Adafruit RA8875 board and display for a friend and display was very old, backlight was ok but contrast even worst than eastrising, if you have knoledge of create PCB and solder smd you may create your board with a RA8875 and an high contrast display, the chip holds almost 90% of the needed parts.

RA8875 has layers so you can use a trick to get a nice looking colored bar responsive but you should design display in order to use as much as possible the primitive hardware accellerated of the chip.

But you should take in mind that you have to use accellerated primitives for the mask, so the bar shape on the picture it"s not the best example since it has angled solid, this needs many calls to fill rectangle, if you can reduce calls you can have very fast display, remember that the underground layer can be very complex and will remain untouched, with this in mind you can design your guy using layers (at the end, an old school trick!).

Most display driver doesn"t take care about backlight but RA was clearly designed for GUI, it has a matrix logic for switches, support for resistive touch, internal fonts, support for external font ROM and support for external Flash EEPROM and... 2 pwm channels. In any display design I have see (adafruit and eastrising) one of this channel is connected to a mosfet and drive display backlight by using PWM to save current, I"m actually hve a command for that but maybe you can play with PWM divisor to get more pump for PWM, this can affect a lot the brightness.

Im new to Arduino myself but i do have the same screen which works perfect,your problem is probably that the TFT shield is shorting off the top off the arduino usb put something non conductive there and reset. if your still having trouble, try removing the shield and watch each pin as you insert it to make sure they are all inserted in the correct pins, LCD_02 should be in Dig pin 2.
