STM32 and 7-inch Display (SSD1963)

7-inch Display (800x480 pixels) controlled with the SSD1963 digital controller, which is connected to an STM32.
This demonstration shows different colors on the display, the backlight fading capability, and the touch screen on top!

I'm also doing this topic, but connected with 640x480 lcd 10.4 inch industrial NL6448 / video of you is one of the rare noi65dung, I find very useful when you are learning about it, satisfying hobby that is fun I was in Vietnam ....

Hey Thomas. It's me, (LetsLearn90). I posted a comment yesterday(about the Nokia LCD Display PCD8544 and Nintendo DS Touch Screen), and you replied straight.

Actually, my application is just to do wat you are doing here in the video, but with 2 different devices (from writing on TouchScreen to LPC1769, and from LPC1769 output to the display on the LCD).

Best regards

@tantrikwizard The schematic of the SSD1963 board can be found on TechToys homepage. If it is the schematic of the connections to the STM32 you are talking about, then I don't have any schematic made. DB0-7 is connected to upper PORTB, while DB8-15 is connected to lower PORTC.

It isn't connected thru FSMC in this video, as the STM32F103RET6 is in the 64-pin packaging, so it doesn't have FSMC.
I've got the STM32103FZET6 too, which got FSMC, but I haven't tried connecting it with the SSD1963!

Unfortunately I haven't tested the framerate either, but if it's going to change the whole display, then my guess will be around 10FPS currently, without any optimization yet...

In your case as you have the display and touch screen seperated you would have to find out how to match up the pixels (calibration method probably).
The Nintendo touch screen is just a simple resistive touch screen. With these touch screens you have 4 wires that has to be controlled and read in a special way. The easiest would be to use a touch screen chip with SPI interface like the ADS7843. Or you could do it manually with the microcontroller: sparkfun.com/tutorials/139

Please have a look in the video description, which I have just updated.
You should be able to find the proper download link there.

Sorry for the inconvience!

What is the maximum frame rate from internal memory? Is it connected thru FSMC?

Hello,
I have purchased a STM32F4 discovery board and a SSD1963 800x480 px but haven't been able to make it work neither in 8bit or 16bit parallel modes. Can you pls share your code and point me to the right link? The above link is not working.

Thanks and regards.

excuse me, could you show me how to hardware wiring ? thanks for your help. my kit is stm32f103vet6

Hello Everyone!! Is there any source to purchase 7" TFT Capacitive Touch screen Display SSD1963 from India other than alibaba and alie express!!

In the blog post about this project there is a download link for the early-revision source code, used in this demonstration. This code works as expected and gives you a nice idea on how to use and initialize the SSD1963 controller for a 7" display.
