2.8 tft lcd shield v3 library manufacturer

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.

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:

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.

This 2.8″ TFT Touch Shield for Arduino with Capacitive Touch is big (2.8″ diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240×320 pixels with individual pixel control. It has way more resolution than a black and white 128×64 display. As a bonus, this display has a capacitive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

This shield uses SPI for the display and SD card and is easier to use with UNO, Mega & Leonardo Arduino’s. The capacitive touchscreen controller uses I2C but you can share the I2C bus with other I2C devices.

This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. This shield needs fewer pins than our v1 shield, so you can connect more sensors, buttons and LEDs: 5 SPI pins for the display, 2 shared I2C pins for the touchscreen controller and another pin for uSD card if you want to read images off of it.

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! This Fantastic TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. It has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display. As a bonus, this display comes with a resistive or capacitive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

There"s two versions of the shield. One has a resistive touch screen, one has a capacitive one. The TFT display and pinouts is the same for both. The microSD card is the same too. The differences come in on the touch screen controller .

TFT Screen PinsDigital #13 or ICSP SCLK - This is the hardware SPI clock pin. By default its digital #13. By cutting a jumper and soldering another on the back, you can move this line from #13 to the ICSP clock pin. This pin is used for the TFT, microSD and resistive touch screen data clock

Digital #12 or ICSP MISO - This is the hardware SPI master-in-slave-out pin. By default its digital #12. By cutting a jumper and soldering another on the back, you can move this line from #12 to the ICSP MISO pin. This pin is used for the TFT, microSD and resistive touch screen data

Digital #11 or ICSP MOSI - This is the hardware SPI master-out-slave-in pin. By default its digital #11. By cutting a jumper and soldering another on the back, you can move this line from #11 to the ICSP MOSI pin. This pin is used for the TFT, microSD and resistive touch screen data

The TFT LCD library is based off of the Adafruit GFX graphics core library. GFX has many ready to go functions that should help you start out with your project. Its not exhaustive and we"ll try to update it if we find a really useful function. Right now it supports pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, round-rects, triangles and printing text as well as rotation.

We have example code ready to go for use with these TFTs. Libraries need to be downloaded and installed . Such as : dmtftlibrary. , Adafruit ILI9341 library , Adafruit GFX Library !
