UTFT LCD User Guide PDF

This document provides instructions for using a UTFT LCD module with an Arduino Mega. It describes the UTFT LCD as having a 40-pin interface that includes a touchscreen, SD card, and flash memory in addition to the LCD screen. The screen uses an SSD1963 controller compatible with 16-bit MCUs like the STM32, AVR, and 8051. It then gives examples of connecting the hardware, downloading the UTFT library, configuring it for a specific LCD model, compiling a demo sketch, and uploading it to demonstrate the LCD and touchscreen functions.

UTFT LCD User Guide

UTFT LCD Introduction


Description:
UTFT LCD are Wide Screen Modules , 40pins interface , not just a LCD break
but include the Touch , SD card and Flash design. So its a powerful
extension module for your project. The Screen include a controller SSD1963,
its a interface supporting 16bit data, easy to drive by many MCU like
STM32 ,AVR and 8051 etc.

Application Ideas:
Digital Photo Frame DPF
Video terminals
Instrumentation
GPS
Game consoles
Video phones and Portable VCD, DVD
As many people have questions about the UTFT Usage, we specially
take 5'' TFT LCD as an example, to demonstrate UTFT LCD operation.

Hardware and Software Preparation

Step 1

Hardware Operation

1. Assemble the Mega 2560 and the TFT Mega Shield

2. Put the 5'' TFT LCD together with the assembled device, and then connect
it to PC with USB cable.

Step 2

Software Operation

1. Download the UTFT Library from the below website.


http://www.henningkarlsen.com/electronics/library.php?id=51
2. Unzip the UTFT, and put it into the Arduino sketch folder>/libraries
3.Open the UTFT_Supported_display_modules_&_controllers.pdf,and confirm
the module model for UTFT and the controller like 5 TFT LCD below
4. Click the folder of UTFT, and then open the memorysaver.
5. By disabling the controllers you don't need (remove the //) you can reduce
the memory footprint of the library by several Kb(Maintain the controller of 5''
TFT LCD)

6. Open the example of 5 UTFT demo 800*480.

7. Click the UTFT Folder, and then open the UTFT.h


8. You need to confirm your specific TFT LCD define, according to the
previously mentioned UTFT_Supported_display_modules_&_controllers.pdf
9.Choose your own TFT define, like demonstrated TFT01_50 here.
10. Modify other UTFT define into your own TFT define like TFT01_50.

10. Choose the corresponding board (Arduino Mega 2560)and serial port.
11. Compelling sketch until Done compelling appears.
12. Upload the sketch until Done uploading appears

Step 3

Displaying

Step 4

UTouch Function Demonstration

If you demonstrate the UTouch function, download the UTouch from


http://www.henningkarlsen.com/electronics/library.php?id=55, and
the operation ways is the same as previous UTFT.
