Arduino 3.2 tft colour touch screen build

[himo]

Hello @ all,

I'm also from germany. I have a 23 gallons tank with an Arduino Duemilanove and the krusduino sketch
http://code.google.com/p/dangerduino/wiki/krusduino

I received an Arduino Mega with a 3.2 tft shield as a gift and thought i could use it instead of the krusduino for my tank.
I don't need a separate shield to use the TFT/Touch with the Mega, it's an "all-in-one" TFT-shield.
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/211323509.html

I got the system up and running with UTFT and UTouch from  http://www.henningkarlsen.com,

The model parameters are:

UTFT myGLCD(INFINIT32,A1,A2,A0,A3,A5);   
UTouch      myTouch(13,10,11,12,A4);

INFINIT32 means the TFT is in "latched 16bit" mode.

I could compile and upload Stilo3 without any errors, but the Screen is only white.
Whatever I try, I only get a blank white screen.  :41:
The testsketches from http://www.henningkarlsen.com are all working without any problems.

Could someone give me a hint where to search the problem. My Arduino skills are very very limited...  :03:

Regards from germany

Welcome, on the sketch that works what is the first line for the screen ?


UTFT myGLCD(INFINIT32,A1,A2,A0,A3,A5);   
UTouch      myTouch(13,10,11,12,A4); ??
Usually the sketch should read

ITDB02 myGLCD(38,39,40,41,ITDB32S);  //Uncomment this line for the SSD1289
ITDB02_Touch myTouch (6,5,4,3,2);

Or
 
ITDB02 myGLCD(38,39,40,41);          //Uncomment this line for the HX8347-A
ITDB02_Touch myTouch (6,5,4,3,2);

Hi,

this is my first line on the 320x240 Demo

//myGLCD(RS,WR,CS,RST,ALE,mode);
ITDB02 myGLCD(A1,A2,A0,A4,A5,2);   

This shield use the analog ports, it works with a moded IDB02 Library or the newest UTFT from hennningkarlsen

Just had a look at the screen and its not compatable with Jarduinos code need one of these types and shield

Think it would be far to much hassle rewriting the code to use your screen

Thanks a lot,

so I will buy a new one

I have been reading around looking for information on building a controller (jarduino).  I have found the basic components but I need a little direction.  For now, I am only wanting to control 4 Meanwell LDD-700HW drivers for my LEDs (10v PWM input).  What will I need other than the basic components?  What power supply can I use for the these components?

Please let me know if my basic components are correct also.

Will Jarduino v1.2 work on a Mac computer?
Where can I get the necessary libraries if I download the Arduino developers software for Mac?

Thanks for your help

The more I read the manual, the more I realize that .... I might be better off breaking out the old Dell with vista windows to do the programing. And this should work fine for my LEDs, I just wire the PWM circuit to GRD and PIN 7-13.  I just don't know if the Jarduino uses a 5v or 10v PWM circuits? And what PIN is GRD?

Finally,  If someone can ok the main components I am thinking about buying, then I can go to the Jarduino download site and unlock Jarduino 1.2v Beta.   

I might have to get this one instead of the one above: ATmega2560

Everything looks good to me.  Either Arduino should work just fine.  Don't know about the quality of the "Freeduino," but the second link you provided I would get over the Freeduino version. Plus it's cheaper.

Thanks for the reply.  Any thoughts on using a Mac to do the programming with?

Shouldn't be all that different. Just download the MAC OS X version then move all the libraries.

Hi, I've just assembled my 2560 with shield and touch. Once I've loaded the stilo 3.0, the program starts, than the display freezes on options page. I think that the scketch don't read the touches of my fingers... but the display works with the Utouch examples.
What I can do?

Thank's

I am hoping to create a launa cycle on my current aquarium.

I am wanting to use 3 of the below light strips, i am looking to make it an easy plug and play to change lights for testing so will be connecting the lights to the below plug adapers.

Currently i will have 2 strips of white lights together using a splitter and a single blue strip.

how will i add 2/3 male adapters to the board.

also will all the below equipment  do the job?

thank for your help in advance .

Not sure if I have missed anything while being away at work. Has the new version been released yet?

[ThiagoAndre]

I would like a help, I installed the code and I did not have any error, only the program screen is to the left side. I'll attach a photo to help.

[LiquidArts]

Any updates on version 3.0?
