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.

For this tutorial I composed three examples. The first example is distance measurement using ultrasonic sensor. The output from the sensor, or the distance is printed on the screen and using the touch screen we can select the units, either centimeters or inches.

The third example is a game. Actually it’s a replica of the popular Flappy Bird game for smartphones. We can play the game using the push button or even using the touch screen itself.

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.

Next we need to define the fonts that are coming with the libraries and also define some variables needed for the program. In the setup section we need to initiate the screen and the touch, define the pin modes for the connected sensor, the led and the button, and initially call the drawHomeSreen() custom function, which will draw the home screen of the program.

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.

Now we need to make the buttons functional so that when we press them they would send us to the appropriate example. In the setup section we set the character ‘0’ to the currentPage variable, which will indicate that we are at the home screen. So if that’s true, and if we press on the screen this if statement would become true and using these lines here we will get the X and Y coordinates where the screen has been pressed. If that’s the area that covers the first button we will call the drawDistanceSensor() custom function which will activate the distance sensor example. Also we will set the character ‘1’ to the variable currentPage which will indicate that we are at the first example. The drawFrame() custom function is used for highlighting the button when it’s pressed. The same procedure goes for the two other buttons.

So the drawDistanceSensor() custom function needs to be called only once when the button is pressed in order to draw all the graphics of this example in similar way as we described for the home screen. However, the getDistance() custom function needs to be called repeatedly in order to print the latest results of the distance measured by the sensor.

Here’s that function which uses the ultrasonic sensor to calculate the distance and print the values with SevenSegNum font in green color, either in centimeters or inches. If you need more details how the ultrasonic sensor works you can check my particular tutorialfor that. Back in the loop section we can see what happens when we press the select unit buttons as well as the back button.

Ok next is the RGB LED Control example. If we press the second button, the drawLedControl() custom function will be called only once for drawing the graphic of that example and the setLedColor() custom function will be repeatedly called. In this function we use the touch screen to set the values of the 3 sliders from 0 to 255. With the if statements we confine the area of each slider and get the X value of the slider. So the values of the X coordinate of each slider are from 38 to 310 pixels and we need to map these values into values from 0 to 255 which will be used as a PWM signal for lighting up the LED. If you need more details how the RGB LED works you can check my particular tutorialfor that. The rest of the code in this custom function is for drawing the sliders. Back in the loop section we only have the back button which also turns off the LED when pressed.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use and set up 2.4″ Touch LCD Shield for Arduino. First, you’ll see some general information about this shield. And after learning how to set the shield up, you’ll see 3 practical projects.

The role of screens in electronic projects is very important. Screens can be of very simple types such as 7 Segment or character LCDs or more advanced models like OLEDs and TFT LCDs.

One of the most important features of this LCD is including a touch panel. If you are about to use the LCD, you need to know the coordinates of the point you touch. To do so, you should upload the following code on your Arduino board and open the serial monitor. Then touch your desired location and write the coordinates displayed on the serial monitor. You can use this coordination in any other project.

To display pictures on this LCD you should save the picture in 24bit BMP colored format and size of 240*320. Then move them to SD card and put the SD card in the LCD shield. we use the following function to display pictures. This function has 3 arguments; the first one stands for the pictures name, and the second and third arguments are for length and width coordinates of the top left corner of the picture.

There are many tutorials on Arduino shields for 2.4 inch TFT LCD displays. In this road test I apply different tutorials to check the performance and issues of this specific shield: AZ-Delivery 2.4 inch TFT LCD display with resistive 4-wire touchscreen and an integrated SD card reader.AZ-Delivery 2.4 inch TFT LCD display.

TFT LCD is a variant of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses thin-film-transistor (TFT) technology. That improves image quality, better contrast and addressability.

Depends on the needs of your project. Arduino UNO processor frequency is low. With the Arduino UNO full-color TFT LCDs are suitable to display simple data and commands. The TFT controller used cannot switch internal display RAM, so you can"t use the double buffer technique for animations but still you can only re-draw small sections of screen.

This module consumes most of the resources available in Arduino UNO. This is not a limitation of the module itself. In return, using a parallel interface allows you to quickly update the image. If you want to take advantage of all its functionality (LCD + touch screen + SD card), only pins 0 and 1 (RX and TX, respectively) and pin 19 (A5) remain unused. If the SD card is not used, pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 are additionally available. With a suitable layout, some SPI devices could be connected even if the SD card is used.

The module arrived well packed and in perfect condition. The board comes in a sealed antistatic bag, with protective foams to prevent the terminals from bending, and all this wrapped with a bubble bag and inside an individual cardboard box. The label on the antistatic bag indicates the controller is an ILI9341.

The PCB silkscreen indicates the main function of each pin, the labels are easy to read, although it does not show labels for the touch screen pins:Pin 9 - Touch X+ / LCD_D1

The SD card reader is very well located between the USB connector and the power connector, it does not touch either of them as it happens in other lcd tft shield modules and it is easily accessible to insert and remove the SD cards.

You can directly use the shield with any arduino uno. In this case we are using an Arduino UNO that exposes all the pins both on the header and on the board. In such a way that you do not need another shield to access the pins not used by the screen

If you want to take advantage of all its functionality (LCD + touch screen + SD card), only pins 0 and 1 (RX and TX, respectively) and pin 19 (A5) remain unused. If the SD card is not used, pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 are additionally available. With a suitable layout, some SPI devices could be connected even if the SD card is used.

Includes a resistive 4-wire touchscreen (touchpad). The touch screen is attached on the surface of the display. Touch screen needs two analog inputs and two digital outputs. It connects through 4 wires, which share arduino pins 8, 9, A2, A3 with the ILI9341 driver. So you can"t write to LCD display and read the touch screen in the same time. I. Driver chip is XPT2046.

The optical characteristics are good, with a wide color gamut and good sharpness. The viewing angle is quite wide and there is no color inversion or other flaws. The screen is brilliant. Colors are bright enough to read the screen well even in daylight.

The resistive touch screen does not appear to appreciably affect the optical characteristics. Works properly, It takes a little pressure with the stylus for it to respond like in old mobile phones. You notice how it sinks into the screen when you press with the stylus. The stylus that comes with the module makes it easy to use if your interface design uses small controls. Some touch screen libraries offer better accuracy by specifying the resistance of the touch screen in the X direction. Resistance can be easily measured with a multimeter by connecting the test leads to the LCD_D1 - X + and LCD_DS X- terminals. Touch is sensitive to pressure.

The Capacitive touch panel is activated with anything containing an inductive load such as a finger or stylus. It allows for multi-touch options. When using the capacitive touch screen, the display needs a separate controller to interface with the touch panel. The display for capacitive touch is brighter since the touch panel is transparent.
