Arduino - 1.8' TFT color LCD Display (1 of 2)

This video gives an overview of the 1.8" color LCD, where to purchase and how to wire it to your Arduino. A detailed description of the pin outs are included for both the "fast" and "slow" wiring method. Also, I compare the write speed for both methods which demonstrates the performance of each.

This is the best guide I could find. The explained pinout you put in your video is what helped the most. Many thanks for the work you did on this!!

Hi, Great video, I have subscribed so I don't miss Part 2. Any idea when we can expect it? Keep up the good work. CHeers

I'm very saddened not to find the second half of this tutorial! I really love your video but I need some documentation for scripting to at least get something on the screen other than white. I somehow find your documentation more fulfilling than the tutorials on Ada (Possibly because I'm more of a visual learner). Please, please make the second video. Thanks for the video on hooking up this specific LCD screen, I can't describe how much it helped.

Martin -
Slow - Slower screen updates as shown in the video but uses less pins on the Arduino.
Fast - Faster updates to the screen but uses more pins.

what are the pros and cons about slow and fast?

Kevin - I haven't measured the amp draw from my display so I can't answer.  You may check adafruit or one of the other resellers to see what they publish.  If you need I can measure mine.

What kind of power does this unit draw?

I wonder if it's possible to hook up 4 LCD/TFT's to an Arduino UNO. Or do you think i need another Arduino with enough input/output signals? thx for your reply
