Hi TechToTinker I 've got this lcd since 2017 ...no way to make it work so i give up , till to day i find your tuto so i try and tadaa it work like a charm , the secret is the SPFD5408 lib so tank to u , nb: sorry i'm not well in anglish
Just got mine in the mail today! Excited to start working on some of my ideas for a microcontroller with a touch screen. But you have to walk before you can run, so I just wanted to say: Good demo/tutorial. I appreciate the basic examples and being able to learn from your experience!
@leglessinoz, glad that it works on your display. You are in the right track, just play with the rotation variable, and you should find the correct setup.
Hi TechToTinker! I'm having some troubles with this screen...The touch is not responding...I need some help...I double checked everything from the video and downloaded the Joao's libraries but nothing seems to work about the touch...
@vijay kamble, use tft.setTextColor(WHITE, BLACK); when setting the font color. The first parameter is the font color while the second parameter is the background color. By doing this, you're erasing the previous display. Hope this helps. Please let me know. Cheers.
Greetings TechToTinker. I have read that this SPFD5408 drive and ILI9341 are pretty much the same but, I have a sketch that in the header calls: #include however, my display is ILI9341, so what should I change in the code to use the ILI9341 display, and my display is not shielded and does not have the LCD_WR and LCD_RD pins. Thanks
You may use Arduino Mega if you need more pins. In Arduino Uno, AFAIK there are 2 or 3 pins you may still use. The D0, D1, and the other I can't remember. You may check the datasheet.
Hello Master ! to using the one with 32 giga card fat32 format and presents "initialization failed! ¨ this screen does not support this configuration? can you help me? thanks
Hi. I have that exact display, and I am using Arduino Uno. The screen works for me, but not the touchscreen, I tried using your LED ON/OFF example but the buttons did not work. Any help?
First of all thanks for this tutorial, everything works great except for the last 2 examples. Can you help me? I’m interested in the last example and I got: failed initialization. Is it related to file system? Or what?
Great video! Just discovered how to use from this vid, can you upload a video about the micro sd in more detail (how to upload and select proper images)
Hi Muhammad, #1. did you use Uno or Mega? #2. Did you try the example number 4 accessing the sd card? #3. The size of the bmp file should be maximum of 320x240 (landscape) or 240x320(in portrait)
Hi TechTo Tinker I am new to TFT programming. I want to have 5 input names from user using 2.4 TFT ,Arduino UNO. I am thinking to create an array and use the Gets(STR[x]) function to take the input from the user. Will this function work with TFT?
Hi @TFT Lcd, I would like to say yes but as of now, I am not able to use or do like that but it should be possible. Please let me know if you are able to do it or if you need some help. Cheers.
Thanks TechTo Tinker for responding. But could you suggest any other way or program to achieve the same? I am stuck with this.I would really appreciate any help regarding this. Thanks
@Ronnie Tan, the microcontroller needs to buffer the video frames and I think it's not directly possible. BUT I have watched a video in UA-cam before that reads from SDCard and directed the video frames to the display. I somehow can't find it now.
hi, i have a problem loading imagens, the error is the image does not found and i dont know why, i'm use your code but dont found the problem and when i testing the example of sd card appears in the screen sd card failed, can you help me?
@Jhonatan Ruiz, can you give me more details of your setup? Did you use Arduino Uno or Arduino Mega? Did you copy the image to sdcard? Is the image is 320x240?
@@jhonatanruiz9938 what do you mean with the "but vertical"? #1. Is the image 320 x 240 (landscape image) but displayed wrong. Or, #2. or you want to create a vertical display? In any ways, can you send a picture of the display with problem at tech.to.tinker@gmail.com
Hi @Jhonatan Ruiz, got your email. the problem is you are using Arduino Mega (it will work when you use Arduino Uno). The reason is that Arduino Mega SPI port is not located on pins 11, 12, and 13 which is use when accessing the sdcard module. And if I remember correctly, I talked about this aspect in the video. Hope it helps.
Complex shape is derived from simple shape. What I mean is to use the simple shape (which is included in tutorial) for you to come up with complex shape.
Sir please answer me. I have sent a query six days ago but not yet received any answer at your end. My query was if I wish to display more than five BMP images then correct code for that. Awaiting for your support and response. You have answered all the queries two years ago but not answering now. What is the actual problem Sir? Please answer me.
Hi ! I opened the example file to draw bitmap images from the sd card but I have the following error message : "File not found". I do'nt understant why... Can you help me please ? Can you send me your spfd5408_learning_05_bmp file please ?
Im not exactly sure why but Im guessing maybe because of mode of communication between the LCD and the Arduino or possibly because of the library. But what I am sure the Arduino Uno runs in 16MHz clock while the LCD has 320x240 pixels so a total of 76800 pixels that is needed to update more than 60 times a second so changes is not noticeable by human eye.
Hi Sir. Your video are awesome & code is perfect one. Sir if I wish to display BMP picture more than five what should be change in code? How can I understand that my touch screen is perfect? I have already tested example tftpaint but my display is showing wrong . When pen is drawing horizontally display shwing vertical line & when pen drawing vertical display showing horizontal & pen where pin display showing some distance . Please answer me.
Hello @Hazwan, in the source code: tft.setRotation(2); // This settings works for me with correct orientation try to experiment with it, possible value is 0 to 3
Hello, the tft freezes after some hours. What can i do? I think it must be a stability issue. How i can reduse the noise on spi pins and make more stable the connections? Thanks in responce and congrats for tha amazing channel.
@kon dam, I haven't check the schematic diagram of the tft module if its properly designed (I doubt it). For your reference, check this page: www.pjrc.com/better-spi-bus-design-in-3-steps/ It may also possible that the problem is on the program. Thank you and regards.
Can you design one prototype like using touch screen whether it is detecting kid or adult by adding some security questions if he answered some questions means it will be detected as kid gave some access to some appliances like on/off light, fan and answered all questions it will be detected as adult means gave access to all appliances. Thanking you and hoping for a faster response. Looking forward to your reply bhai it will be very helpful and urgent to our project. Please consider this

How do i attach tft 2.4" to the esp 32 devkit?

Try to search for the "rotate" or "rotation" inside the code.

No, I got it. The manufacturer installed other drivers and the library flipped the image. ILI9341???
