Arduino 3.2 tft colour touch screen build

 :bravo_2:

Fantastic Guy's, you did it...

The second combination (that I tried last !) worked :-

ITDB02       myGLCD(38,39,40,41, ITDB32S);
ITDB02_Touch myTouch(6,5,4,3,2);

(Although I'm sure I'd tried that previously) lol.

Noticed there's no display for 'hours' in the time/Date setting, hitting the + or - Buttons do nothing ?

Big thank you to all of you who offered help and Advice.

Times OK now - switching to 24hrs mode - setting the time and switching back to 12hr mode sorted it.

Everything saved and backed up. Phew

Yes!  Good job Steve!  The rest should all be downhill lol!

Maybe try clearing the EEPROM again.  Make sure you change the 512 to 4096 in the EEPROM Clear Sketch.  After you run that program, reupload the Jarduino.  If the clock's not there, play around with the clock settings a bit and save it anyway.  Then go back to the clock settings and try again.  My program can be a bit finickey at first...

Ah - you beat me to it.  Nice work!  Looks like you're progressing nicely in your Arduino Education.  Can't wait to see some pics of your completed build.

Sorted Jamie, see above, thanks.

Fantastic work on the code by the way, Just got to build the LED unit now...

just as i posted dude
but i have been in same boat as you dude
save that folder structure and copy it play with the copy
then you always have a know working structure
great news dude is frustrating at times but once its working wow what a feeling
i spent 2 nights testing all teh downloads with difrent combinations
not as good at Kev and  jamie  with the code but the way jamie  has it commented it sort of makes sense


This was from page 26 about 3/4 of the way down

that screen requires this dude

//TOUCH PANEL and ITDB02 MEGA SHIELD
//(Mega Shield utilizes pins 5V, 3V3, GND, 2-6, 20-41, & (50-53 for SD Card))
ITDB02 myGLCD(38,39,40,41,ITDB32S);    //May need to add "ITDB32S" depending on LCD controller
ITDB02_Touch myTouch(6,5,4,3,2);

Good work dude

nice quote dude

[tangtastic]

I like that quote Jamie, Nice work on getting it going budd, Once you have cleaned the eeprom just make sure the touch is functioning correctly

LOL - I'm sure I tried everything you guy's suggested the previous night - But that was before I discovered my Faux par with the dead Battery !

No excuses for putting off the LED build now, So what I wanted to ask was.........

Good quote,
Confucius he say :- If at first you don't succeed - get onto theguy's at UKreefs.com

My personal favorite is :-

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes.

Yep, Copied, backed up and tested - Not risking loosing the working settings now...

Tks

....  But that was before I discovered my Faux par with the dead Battery !

I'm certain the battery was not the issue.  You can take the battery out and it will still work fine, it just won't remember the date and time if you lose power (it will default back to 1/1/2000 and 12:00 AM whenever you resume from a diconnection of power). 

Your "no excuses" statement reminds me of one of my favorite quotes (well maybe not my favorite, but it characterizes me well):  "I was going to procrastinate today, but decided to wait until tomorrow." 

[TheDOdblG]

I should also mention that the battery is ONLY used for storing the date and time.  ALL of your other settings - LED values, preferences, WaveMaker and Feeding times, etc. DO NOT require the battery, as these values are stored in the Arduino's memory (aka EEPROM).  You can disconnect the battery, and years later plug it in and it will pick up right where it left off (minus the RTC settings).

[svyaz]

I want to ask Jamie
Is it possible to control LEDs as in the example written in Processing RGB Mixer ? http://lab.guilhermemartins.net/2010/07/22/processing-to-arduino/
I have here is what happened,tried the code jarduino prescribe the serialCommands get a response after 3 seconds set the port speed 115200
in the attached file for the project Processing (Jarduino.zip) and compiled exe file for windows

[chrisb]

 Hi,  great thread 
Never played with programming prior to this, so thanks for the inspiration.

svyaz, this is my attempt so far at creating slide control, needs some work to make smooth. Outputs a 0-255 value to serial.

Code: [Select]

#include <UTFT.h>
#include <ITDB02_Touch.h>

UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32S,38,39,40,41);   
ITDB02_Touch  myTouch(6,5,4,3,2);


int x, y;


void setup()
{
  myGLCD.InitLCD();
  myGLCD.clrScr();

  myTouch.InitTouch(LANDSCAPE);
  myTouch.setPrecision(PREC_MEDIUM);
  Serial.begin(9600);
   myGLCD.setColor(255, 255, 0);
     myGLCD.drawRect(28, 28, 92, 202);
}

void loop()
{
   
    while (myTouch.dataAvailable() == true)
    {
      myTouch.read();
      x = myTouch.getX();
      y = myTouch.getY();
      if((x>=30) && (x<=90) && (y>=30) && (y<=200))
      {
        y = map(y, 200, 30, 0, 255);
      }else{
        y = 0;
      }
     
      Serial.println(y);
      screen();
    } 
    delay(50);
}   
void screen()
{
   y = map(y, 0, 255, 200, 30);
    if(y >= y)
    {
    myGLCD.setColor(255, 255, 0);
     myGLCD.fillRect(30, y, 90, 200);
    if(y <= y)
      myGLCD.setColor(0, 0, 0);
     myGLCD.fillRect(30, 30, 90, y);
    }
     
}
