round tft display arduino quotation

I am not interested in touch screens - just the capability to drive the display. Even better would be a display that is a full circle rather than a a 240*200 style screen - where the bottom of the display has been removed.

This is a 2.2” TFT LCD Display Module that displays colorful patterns and characters with an input voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V. The module can display multiple patterns in a cycle and achieve dynamic display effects with a screen refresh speed of approximately 256ms. There are 19 pre-defined colors in the library, and users can also customize 16-bit color codes. The module has a maximum absolute value of 64 on both the positive and negative axis with the central point of the display as the origin of coordinates.

Note: the parameter “2.2 inches” is noted according to the Display Specification provided by the display manufacture, the real display area is about 1.26 inches (diameter: 32mm).

PCB HERO is the leader in round lcd display, our round tft lcd display module including 1.22 inch round tft lcd display, 1.38 inch round lcd display, and the popular 2.4 inch, 3.4 inch round tft display module, 320x320 pixels, 480x480, 800x800 resolution.

All the round tft display screen could be added circular touch screen, our circular touch display can be with multi-touch round screen, and with ips free viewing angle.

The round screen could be widely used in many round display screen application, such as round screen in smart home-control, round tft display panel in audio device with full color display. and the color round tft display bring the amazing display effect to the end customer, after adding the muti-touch screen on the round tft display, end customer could control the device via the circular round touch screen from round tft lcd display.

In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.

As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.

Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.

I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.

After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.

So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels  down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.

Next is the distance sensor button. First we need to set the color and then using the fillRoundRect() function we will draw the rounded rectangle. Then we will set the color back to white and using the drawRoundRect() function we will draw another rounded rectangle on top of the previous one, but this one will be without a fill so the overall appearance of the button looks like it has a frame. On top of the button we will print the text using the big font and the same background color as the fill of the button. The same procedure goes for the two other buttons.

In order the code to work and compile you will have to include an addition “.c” file in the same directory with the Arduino sketch. This file is for the third game example and it’s a bitmap of the bird. For more details how this part of the code work  you can check my particular tutorial. Here you can download that file:

One of the most advantages is the Tft displaycd, which is the same as full-color Tft displaycd, and it are widely used in the consumer industry. Round lcd modules have a high dynamic range and have a low- consumptionam of 320 pixels, and higher-D models. This are one of the most widely used online applications.

Small lcd displays with the functions of an easy connector, and it is easy to checked. L-sized lcd displayules have special functions, and are easy to checked. Looking"s for the ideal round lcd display for odd-size functions, it is easy to checked and connected. The lcd display panel has a built-in lcd display and has other functions as well as is easy to checked and checked for changes.

In one scene of the plays, the actors (who play two children) wear these glasses in the dark, while a ghostly appearance moves around the stage. The version used in the play uses Teensy 3.2 and works perfectly. Now I am trying to do the same using Raspberry Pi Pico. The Animated Eyes example of library still not working. But I was able to get the Colour_Test the library to work by creating the appropriate User_Setup.h

If you haven"t installed Raspberry Pi Pico support on the Arduino IDE yet, follow the tutorial on Tom"s Hardware: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-arduino-official

The developer of this library made it much easier to configure the different types of display with the different types of controllers. To change the settings, you can create a specific USER_SETUP file and change things like the pins used, the spi clock speed, the type of display used, etc...

To do this, go to the library folder in Libraries/TFT-eSPI-master/User_Setups/ and create a file called Setup61_RP2040_GC9A01.h with the following content:

The following code is the same as the library example (in File > Examples > TFT_eSPI > Test_and_Diagnostics > Colour_Test:// Diagnostic test for the displayed colour order

Keyestudio Circular TFT LCD is a 1.6-inch TFT liquid crystal display module. Its input voltage is 3.3V~-5.5V. It can display colored patterns and text.

During the experiment, we set the coordinates to the coordinate center of the display, and the maximum absolute value of the positive and negative half axes is 64.

The parameter 1.6" is marked according to the screen specifications provided by the screen supplier. The actual display area is approximately 1.26" (32mm in diameter).

Kingtech 4.3 inch 480x270 (WVGA) TFT LCD sunlight readable display arduino is our most leading LCD display product. This 4.3 inch TFT LCD sunlight readable display arduino is 800nits, it can be used for outdoor devices. It has an existing capacitive touch and capacitive touch. We, being one of top LCD panel manufacturers, can also custom the touch according to the customer"s requirements.

The 4.3inch TFT sunlight readable display arduino can be used for medical devices, handheld equipment, industrial control, smart home, and a black box.

The star of the show is the nRF52833 SoC, which is paired with a circular 1.28″ 240×240 IPS TFT display. The screen doesn’t support touch, so there’s three physical buttons on the watch for navigation. Onboard sensors include a LIS2DS12 MEMS accelerometer and a MAX30101EFD capable of measuring heartrate and blood oxygen levels, and there’s even a tiny vibration motor for haptic feedback. Everything’s powered by a 220 mAh Li-Po battery that [Jakob] says is good for about two days — afterwards you can drop the watch into its matching docking station to get charged back up.

As for the software side of things, the watch tethers to a Android application over Bluetooth for Internet access and provides the expected functions such as displaying the weather, showing notifications, and controlling music playback. Oh, and it can tell the time as well. The firmware was made with extensibility in mind, and [Jakob] has provided both a sample application and some basic documentation for would-be ZSWatch developers.

Displaying a custom image or graphic on a LCD display is a very useful task as displays are now a premium way of providing feedback to users on any project. With this functionality, we can build projects that display our own logo, or display images that help users better understand a particular task the project is performing, providing an all-round improved User Experience (UX) for your Arduino or ESP8266 based project. Today’s tutorial will focus on how you can display graphics on most Arduino compatible displays.

The procedure described in this tutorial works with all color displays supported by Adafruit’s GFX library and also works for displays supported by the TFTLCD library from Adafruit with little modification. Some of the displays on which this procedure works include:

While these are the displays we have, and on which this tutorial was tested, we are confident it will work perfectly fine with most of the other Arduino compatible displays.

For each of the displays mentioned above, we have covered in past how to program and connect them to Arduino. You should check those tutorials, as they will give you the necessary background knowledge on how each of these displays works.

For this tutorial, we will use the 2.8″ ILI9325 TFT Display which offers a resolution of 320 x 340 pixels and we will display a bitmap image of a car.

As usual, each of the components listed above can be bought from the links attached to them. While having all of the displays listed above may be useful, you can use just one of them for this tutorial.

To demonstrate how things work, we will use the 2.8″ TFT Display. The 2.8″ TFT display comes as a shield which plugs directly into the Arduino UNO as shown in the image below.

Not all Arduino displays are available as shields, so when working with any of them, connect the display as you would when displaying text (we recommend following the detailed tutorial for the display type you use of the above list). This means no special connection is required to display graphics.

Before an image is displayed on any of the Arduino screens, it needs to be converted to a C compatible hex file and that can only happen when the image is in bitmap form. Thus, our first task is to create a bitmap version of the graphics to be displayed or convert the existing image to a bitmap file. There are several tools that can be used for creation/conversion of bitmap images including, Corel Draw and Paint.net, but for this tutorial, we will use the Paint.net.

Our demo graphics today will be a car. We will create the car on a black background and use a white fill so it’s easy for us to change the color later on.

The resolution of the graphics created should be smaller than the resolution of your display to ensure the graphics fit properly on the display. For this example, the resolution of the display is 320 x 340, thus the resolution of the graphics was set to195 x 146 pixels.

Your graphics could also include some text. Just ensure the background is black and the fill color is white if you plan to change the color within your Arduino code.

Image2Code is an easy-to-use, small Java utility to convert images into a byte array that can be used as a bitmap on displays that are compatible with the Adafruit-GFX or Adafruit TFTLCD (with little modification) library.

Paste the bit array in the graphics.c file and save. Since we have two graphics (the car and the text), You can paste their data array in the same file. check the graphics.c file attached to the zip file, under the download section to understand how to do this. Don’t forget to declare the data type as “const unsigned char“, add PROGEM in front of it and include the avr/pgmspace.h header file as shown in the image below.  This instructs the code to store the graphics data in the program memory of the Arduino.

With this done, we are now ready to write the code. Do note that this procedure is the same for all kind of displays and all kind of graphics. Convert the graphics to a bitmap file and use the Img2code utility to convert it into a hex file which can then be used in your Arduino code.

To reduce the amount of code, and stress involved in displaying the graphics, we will use two wonderful libraries; The GFX library and the TFTLCD library from Adafruit.

The GFX library, among several other useful functions, has a function called drawBitmap(), which enables the display of a monochrome bitmap image on the display. This function allows the upload of monochrome only (single color) graphics, but this can be overcome by changing the color of the bitmap using some code.

The Adafruit libraries do not support all of the displays but there are several modifications of the libraries on the internet for more displays. If you are unable to find a modified version of the library suitable for your the display, all you need do is copy the code of the drawBitmap() function from the GFX library and paste it in the Arduino sketch for your project such that it becomes a user-defined function.

The first two are thex and y coordinates of a point on the screen where we want the image to be displayed. The next argument is the array in which the bitmap is loaded in our code, in this case, it will be the name of the car and the text array located in the graphics.c file. The next two arguments are the width and height of the bitmap in pixels, in other words, the resolution of the image. The last argument is the color of the bitmap, we can use any color we like. The bitmap data must be located in program memory since Arduino has a limited amount of RAM memory available.

As usual, we start writing the sketch by including the libraries required. For this procedure, we will use the TFTLCD library alone, since we are assuming you are using a display that is not supported by the GFX library.

Next, we specify the name of the graphics to be displayed; car and title. At this stage, you should have added the bit array for these two bitmaps in the graphics.c file and the file should be placed in the same folder as the Arduino sketch.

With that done, we proceed to the void loop function, under the loop function, we call the drawbitmap() function to display the car and the text bitmap using different colors.

The last section of the code is the drawBitmap function itself, as earlier mentioned, to use the drawbitmap() function with the Adafruit TFTLCD library, we need to copy the function’s code and paste into the Arduino sketch.

Plug in your screen as shown above. If you are using any other display, connect it as shown in the corresponding linked tutorial. With the schematics in place, connect the Arduino board to your PC and upload the code. Don’t forget the graphics file needs to be in the same folder as the Arduino sketch.

That’s it for this tutorial guys. The procedure is the same for all kinds of Arduino compatible displays. If you get stuck while trying to replicate this using any other display, feel free to reach out to me via the comment sections below.
