2.4 Inch TFT LCD Control By Arduino Atmega8

First of all, I want to tell you that this blog is for a project on 16x2 LCD display. For that I thought, Instead uses a color display, then it would be awesome. When I search Arduino Uno for a color display, I found the range using the Arduino UNO. Due to the size of the library I do not recommend using it on ATmega328 and ATmega32U4 as they only have 32KB of flash memory.

All range of can be found with this link: https://www.robomart.com .

Finally for making this project bought Arduino Mega 2560. I'm very excited to try it as soon as possible and would like to convey that supports 240x320 resolution with a 2.4 "TFT display both the SD card and touch screen.

Arduino Atmega 2560

Requirements:

1. Arduino MEGA 2560
2. 2.4" TFT Display
3. Wires
3. Small Breadboard 

2.4 TFT LCD

Connections:

Wiring LCD with Arduino Board

A small error is found and here is one of the amendments. I also abbreviations TFT changed to match them with.

1. Display

LEDA -> 5V

VCC -> 5V

RD -> 3.3V 

GND -> GND

DB0->DB7 to pin D37->D30

DB8->DB15 to pin D22->D29

RS -> D38

WR -> D39

CS (pin15) -> D40

RSET-> D41

2. Touch Screen

Default pin number in example code:

T_CLK->D6

T_CS (pin30) ->D5

T_DIN ->D4

T_DO->D3

T_IRQ ->D2

3. SD Card:

SD_CLK -> D52

SD_DO -> D50

SD_DIN-> D51

SD_CS -> D53

Libraries and code:

We need UFTF library before running the example. Create the library and copy to Arduino/libraries. The examples can be found after restarting Arduino software.

Go to File > Examples > UTFT > Arduino (AVR) > UTFT_Demo_320x240

The only thing we have to do is just change the display model and the pins following the instruction. My TFT display model is ILI9325D_8 and the beginning of the code is as follow:

#include

// Declare which fonts we will be using extern uint8_t SmallFont[];

// Set the pins to the correct ones for your development shield

// ------------------------------------------------------------

// Arduino Uno / 2009:

// -------------------

// Standard Arduino Uno/2009 shield : ,A5,A4,A3,A2

// DisplayModule Arduino Uno TFT shield : ,A5,A4,A3,A2

/

/ Arduino Mega:

// -------------------

// Standard Arduino Mega/Due shield : ,38,39,40,41

// CTE TFT LCD/SD Shield for Arduino Mega : ,38,39,40,41

/

/ Remember to change the model parameter to suit your display module! UTFT myGLCD(ILI9325D_8,38,39,40,41);

Let's upload the code and see what happens...........

Next time I will try to do something a little bit complicated. Thanks for reading this it.
