You can read this and other amazing tutorials on ElectroPeak's official website

Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use and set up 2.4″ Touch LCD Shield for Arduino. Commencement, you'll see some general information about this shield. And after learning how to set the shield upward, you'll meet three practical projects.

What You Will Acquire:

• View text, writing and capricious geometric shapes with custom colors
• View high-quality BMP colored pictures
• create the Paint software

Arduino ii.4 Touch screen Shield Features

The office of screens in electronic projects is very of import. Screens tin be of very elementary types such as 7 Segment or graphic symbol LCDs or more advanced models like OLEDs and TFT LCDs.

ii.4" TFT shield is one of the nearly widely used graphic screens. Here are its virtually important features:

• 240*320 pixels resolution
• Ability to display 262000 different colors
• Includes a touchpad
• 5v supply voltage

Arduino pins 2, 3, A5, and A4 are free and yous tin apply them to connect this shield.

Required Libraries For two.four Touchscreen

Yous tin download the libraries in attachments

The TFTLCD library supports 932x, 7575, 9341, and HX8357D derivers.

If your LCD does non work with this library, try the Mcufriend_kbv.

Note To brandish stable images, we recommend you lot to utilize an adaptor instead of the USB port.

How to Calibrate the Bear on Screen?

One of the most of import features of this LCD is including a touch panel. If you are nearly to use the LCD, you demand to know the coordinates of the point you lot touch. To do so, you should upload the following code on your Arduino board and open up the serial monitor. Then bear upon your desired location and write the coordinates displayed on the serial monitor. You can employ this coordination in any other projection.
