Arduino Tutorial: 2.8" TFT LCD Touch Screen ILI9325 with Arduino Uno and Mega from Banggood.com

[@tonyblewitt6159]

This was a great help in getting the 2.8 TFT touchscreen to work (the one from Bangood )! I did however struggle for some time with the dreaded white screen . The driver for the device, I just received from them. Needs to be ILI9341. which is not on their information .I initial tried for a good while with the ILI9325 driver which sort of half works half works on the above tutorial ......so if you are struggling with one of these Bangood displays try entering 9341

[@syther20]

Can you make a video on how to use the SD card slot in the display for displaying pictures and stuff!

[@julioverne3825]

Hello, Nick. This is my first comment, although I see all your videos. I think in the code there's an error in the use of the "map" function. The correct lines should be: p.x = map(p.x, TS_MINX, TS_MAXX, 0, 320); p.y = map(p.y, TS_MINY, TS_MAXY, 0, 240); This is because in the map function you have to put first the low value, and then, the high value. Thank you for all your great work!

[@edwatters6377]

Nick...I was having a problem with the display I purchased on eBay running your code. There are different drivers for 2,8" TFTs ....they may look the same but are not. For me I had to change the "identifier". In my case it was 0x8230. After that every thing worked great. Your videos are great... keep up the good work.

[@alan.millington]

I'd love to see a simple touchscreen controller for the little robot you built a few weeks ago. You could send commands via bluetooth and show the direction arrows on screen, could be very neat :)

[@parasbhanot]

you can build Line chart or Bar-graph according to sensor values .

[@BananaScience]

Extremely helpful tutorial! Thanks!

[@obALlhashmi]

why does mine keep giving the error unable to complie for arduino uno/genuino?

[@robertocuevas2038]

Anyone solve your question

[@mbaksa]

How well does the touchscreen work? I see that it is a resistive type, which I hoped are the thing of past, since capacitive touchscreens are today's standard, and they work great.

[@Educ8s]

From my experience, it works pretty well. I didn't faced any problems at all!

[@MarcRitzMD]

Resistive is not all bad. You get higher sensor resolution with them and you can use any tip on them. That is why using a fine tip pen can be used very accurately. The Nintento 3DS was thus able to use these cheap plastic pens

[@legoscratch]

mbaksa I thought the same but was very impressed! The screen is very responsive and you can change the amount of pressure detected

[@ForeverMods]

For Arduino I find that resistive touch is better cause there is less tendency to hit other points on the display.

[@AzharKhan-ek3ri]

can we somehow use this display with an esp 32

[@ForeverMods]

Is it just me or do you also find that he goes too fast ? Like why modified library ? However the links are very detailed and you should really check them out. I find this channel to be awesome.

[@brunovarotta]

Could you tell me if this will work on a 3.5'' TFT touch LCD shield. I can see it uses the same pins

[@JoBest94]

Great video!, helped a lot with my project, I really like the part where you show ordinally what part of codes do what on the display

[@cad3175]

..a 3-option menu with 2-option sub-menus would be useful for many projects, like on a 3D printer, just a suggestion, thanks

[@Richie_]

Subscribed. I need to learn how to use these screens.

[@AakashSom]

I am looking forward to some possible projects with this!!! I really can't figure out a proper project I can make with it!

[@eduardoschlichta431]

will be cool put a image on display and using the touch screen apply you reduce the zoom

[@dilsonferreirasouza5814]

Do you have some example with more pages and botton? I'd like to learn more about it.

[@florisbollen3770]

Hi, I've been looking all over the internet for some libraries that work with my arduino uno, and my touch screen shield, and you're the first that gets something on the screen, but I've got strange coloured lines all over the display, and a lot of snow in the background, how do I fix this?

[@pass6123]

Hi, I also have the same problem. I would like to know if you could fin a solution.

[@amitrdevece]

can you make an oscilloscope with this display and uno ? what will be the maximum bandwidth and frequency range for this oscilloscope? will it be more useful than DSO138 mini oscilloscope ?

I would be interested to see this display working as a monitor through Hdmi or as second display for laptops or smartphones. Cheers!

Hi, would you know how to connect this shield to a Ramps 1.4 shield? I would like to use the touchscreen in my 3d printer

Hey!! I have the same touchscreen, I have seen the others tutorials with nextion, its possible to use nextion with this model of touchscreen ??

[@legoscratch]

What are the pin holes on the right for? They aren't marked

[@chronobot2001]

Can you still use devices with the SPI or I2C interfaces or does the screen prevent it?

[@youpattube1]

hello - another excellent video tutorial. you asked what kind of projects we want, well I would like you to take this one to the next step : make a simple arduino touch screen calculator.

[@rosazuniga8012]

hello, I want to make a matrix of a few buttons sort of like dial pad. I saw you created one button how to do more than one, ( on/off , and numbers ) like to control LEDs, and stuff.

[@augustoduccio]

really very interesting I am using this display with numbers but i am not able to cancel the previous number so in fews steps they are impossible to read. suggestions ?

Is there a way to make arduino download daily exchange rates from internet o from a file on the web and display it on the TFT? (with a wifi or ethernet shield) Again, thank you

[@VK2AHB]

Hi Nick, I have two questions: 1) I have the blue 2.8" and a red 2.8". The blue one works fine, the red one is mirror reversed. How can I turn it right way round? Second question: With most of the pins taken up by the display, how can I add sensors like DS18B20 or DHT22?

[@BGLENN-dp4tx]

I did figure out all the rest but I'm stuck on how to make the screen go to next page when (one of 3) button is pressed, to show different data.

Can you make video on how to take input from touch screen and store it in file

[@RTOHIO]

I cannot get the example to compile, it says A2 is not defined in this scope. The comment in line says must be analog use An notation. I can find no info on how to use that notation in Arduino sketches. Github says if you are using the shield use TFTpaint_shield.ino but I cannot find that ino file either. Since it wont compile I cannot calibrate the screen. Any ideas? Been a subscriber for a while and like your approach.

I get compiler error when compiling your codes for my Arduino Mega2560 device...

[@Reemabby94]

Fix to the code issue: The 1.5.4 release of the Adafruit_GFX broke compatibility with the Adafruit_TFTLCD library. You'll need to roll back to Adafruit_GFX 1.5.3: Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries Wait for the download to finish In the "Filter your search..." box, type "adafruit_gfx". Press Enter. From the search results, click on "Adafruit GFX Library by Adafruit". From the dropdown version menu, select 1.5.3. Click the "Install" button. Wait for the installation to finish. Click the "Close" button. After that, the sketch should compile. If you have updatable library notifications enabled in the Arduino IDE, it will occasionally prompt you to update your Adafruit_GFX library to the new version. You will need to refrain from doing so, otherwise, you'll be back to the same compilation error again when you use the Adafruit_TFTLCD library.
