Interfacing SPI TFT with Arduino.

Image
Hey fellas! It's been long since our last blog...but worry not! Here I'm back again with something new to try this time around. This blog will let you know how to interface a 1.8 inches SPI TFT with arduino. The task may get a bit tricky if someone just starts without taking a few things in consideration. So here we go! Now what's with this "SPI" term? Why not just a TFT? Well, that's because like you all must have known, there are 2 modes of transferring data, SERIAL & PARALLEL. When there are separate multiple data buses for data transfer, that's a Parallel Data Bus TFT or more generally known as a normal TFT. These types of displays will have a comparatively large no. of pins to connect (quite obvious), as 8 or 16 pins are for data bus alone and then the other ones too. They generally take up all the space on an UNO or even may require a shield as well. When there is a single data bus to transfer all the data, all the data is streamlined in a series...

How to use the Nokia 5110 84X48 LCD display with Arduino This is the Nokia 5110 84X48 display that was used on millions of phones in the late 90's. In this video, the video show how to connect the Nokia 5110 LCD to an Arduino Uno, import the correct libraries to the Arduino IDE, and write code to generate text and graphics on the display.

LCD Demo: Arduino DUE vs Mega 2560

Arduino DUE and Mega 2560 with CTE 3.2" TFT LCD Module with Font IC Demo Up: Arduino DUE w/TFT Shield Down: Mega 2560 w/TFT Shield Running the same demo code with Coldtears electronics 3.2" TFT LCD Module with font and icon IC The first part is demo of the displaying text and icons from the module. The module is a 3.2" LCD module with fonts of 10 sizes and some commonly used icon for application development. The second part is the famous UTFT demo by Henning Karlson. DUE runs at 84Mhz with SPI DMA, mega runs at 16Mhz, As seen due is incredibly faster when loading data from flash and drawing to the LCD
