Arduino Tutorial: 2.8' TFT LCD Touch Screen ILI9325 with Arduino Uno and Mega from Banggood.com

This is a 2.8" Arduino Touch Screen Tutorial with the ILI9325 driver. Is this Arduino touch display a good option for your Arduino projects? Keep watching in order to find out!

Want to learn to code?

This was a great help in getting the 2.8 TFT touchscreen to work (the one from Bangood )! I did however struggle for some time  with the dreaded white screen . The driver for the device, I just received  from them. Needs to be ILI9341. which is not  on their information .I initial tried for a good while with the ILI9325 driver  which sort of half works half works  on the above tutorial if you are struggling with one   of these Bangood displays try entering  9341

Can you make a video on how to use the SD card slot in the display for displaying pictures and stuff!

Hello, Nick. This is my first comment, although I see all your videos.

I think in the code there's an error in the use of the "map" function. The correct lines should be:

p.x = map(p.x, TS_MINX, TS_MAXX, 0, 320);
p.y = map(p.y, TS_MINY, TS_MAXY, 0, 240);

This is because in the map function you have to put first the low value, and then, the high value.

Thank you for all your great work!

Nick...I was having a problem with the display I purchased on eBay running your code. There are different drivers for 2, 8" TFTs ....they may look the same but are not. For me I had to change the "identifier". In my case it was 0x8230. After that every thing worked great. Your videos are great... keep up the good work.

I'd love to see a simple touchscreen controller for the little robot you built a few weeks ago. You could send commands via bluetooth and show the direction arrows on screen, could be very neat :)

Is it just me or do you also find that he goes too fast ? Like why modified library ? However the links are very detailed and you should really check them out. I find this channel to be awesome.

[AzharKhan-ekri]

can we somehow use this display with an esp 32

[JoBest]

Great video!, helped a lot with my project, I really like the part where you show ordinally what part of codes do what on the display

[AakashSom]

I am looking forward to some possible projects with this!!! I really can't figure out a proper project I can make with it!

..a 3-option menu with 2-option sub-menus would be useful for many projects, like on a 3D printer, just a suggestion, thanks

Dear Nick I downloaded your modified Adafruit library and everything works fine, thank you !! I Why doesn't the standard (non-modified) Adafruit TFT libray work with this LCD ?

[parasbhanot]

you can build Line chart or Bar-graph according to sensor values .

I would be interested to see this display working as a monitor through Hdmi or as second display for laptops or smartphones. Cheers!

Subscribed. I need to learn how to use these screens.

[augustoduccio]

really very interesting
I am using this display with numbers but i am not able to cancel the previous number
so in fews steps they are impossible to read.
suggestions ?

Hi Nick, I have two questions: 1) I have the blue 2.8" and a red 2.8". The blue one works fine, the red one is mirror reversed. How can I turn it right way round? Second question: With most of the pins taken up by the display, how can I add sensors like DS18B20 or DHT22?

[youpattube]

hello -
another excellent video tutorial. you asked what kind of projects we want, well I would like you to take this one to the next step : make a simple arduino touch screen calculator.

[hmdmddh]

Hello thanks for the explaination, can we use this Touch screen and an arduino uno to build an oscilloscope?

[peterwebster]

hey nother great video I want to use this project to create a digital photo frame but unsure how to do this ie changing the code if you know what I mean any help would be great cheers pete uk

[dilsonferreirasouza]

Do you have some example with more pages and botton?
I'd like to learn more about it.
