Arduino Giga Display for Giga R1 WiFi - first impressions

[@tanleproe]

I just got my Giga delivered today. Great intro to an add-on screen. I don't know what to do with the Giga yet. Will stay tuned in your future ideas. Thank you.

Seems like a lot of possibilities!

Wow looks awesome. I am new to this Arduino stuff and am on the PEA. This looks like it would kick arse with the project I doing. 2.8 TFT display to control my air con the van using the IR remote library , which is frying my brain as I need to change the pin out for the PWM timer as the shield uses the library pin 9 or 11 cannot remember right now. Keep the videos coming ❤.

Thanks Philip - will do!

I’m getting “sold out” on this and other recent Arduino products. Hopefully they can get up to speed on meeting demand.

[@programmingelectronics]

They do seem to sell out pretty quick on this stuff...

Hello, can i use SquareLine Studio to Build UI and then upload to Display or how to use as a video player? can you make video about this topic?

[@davidlee50]

Is there anyway to mount a apple iphone camera onto it? just the camera piece, like the part. I want to try the insane zoom feature it has.

[@masonjodood554]

No. Sadly there are too many connections. Also that would be impractical as it would require lots of other hardware in order to take correct camera shots.

It's worth mentioning this is a very exensive display, on Amazon it's £80 and the Arduino Giga R1 is nearly £73. So just the display and the Arduino is going to set you back around £154 before you do anything else.

does this screen work with arduino mega or due?

[@bartdereu9267]

It's really bothersome that almost every Arduino board lacks an Ethernet port. They should realize that WiFi is not solid enough !

[@programmingelectronics]

I hear you - I am rarely seeing ethernet boards...

[@thorstenfricke3257]

u have right!its very poor. also an RTC/SDcard they could put on

[@ezekielswiss4347]

that is typically why i go for raspberry pi where i can.

Thx ❤
