TFT LCD 480x320 Color Display for Arduino Mega 2560 with Library and Code

This video will introduce an extra big TFT LCD 480x320 colour display for the Arduino Mega 2560. This display is perfect for creating user interfaces, data visualization, and other applications that require a large amount of screen real estate.

We will show you how to connect the display to your Arduino Mega 2560 and provide you with the necessary library and code to get started. The library includes various functions for drawing shapes, text, and images on display and controlling the backlight and other settings. The code will demonstrate using these functions to create a simple user interface.

We will also discuss the advantages of using this large TFT LCD display over smaller displays and how it can be used in various projects, such as creating a weather station, a media player, a game, or any other project that requires a large display.

By the end of this video, you will have the knowledge and tools to get started on your projects using this extra big TFT LCD 480x320 color display and Arduino Mega 2560.

Arduino Mega TFT LCD module is a 3.5" TFT LCD with 262K color 480x 320 resolutions. This is the demo preview of the EXTRA Big TFT LCD 480x320 Color Display for Arduino Mega 2560 with Library and Example Code. In the future, we will make a video on the 3.2 spi TFT display and show the touch features with esp32. You can use this TFT LCD for Arduino mega 2560 projects.

Really awesome video on Arduino Display! I was confused and now going to use this display in my project! Thanks @Hacks360 !

[darkshadowsx]

I ordered one as soon as i seen how it worked. maybe 1 1/2 minute into the video. its perfect for what i need.

[taslimaakter]

অবাক হলাম, খুবই মনোযোগ সহকারে দেখলাম।খুব ভাল লাগল ভিডিও টা।

Hi!!
I'm using 3.2″ diagonal LCD TFT display of 240×320 Pixels, 8-bit digital interface with Arduino MEGA. Can i connect it with out Shield Expansion Board by directly connecting it ??

[jianhaowu]

Good work. Keep it up. Look forward to seeing more exciting works from you.

[walterhynson]

I made a cable about 10 inches long which goes from arduino mega to the lcd so I can use the rest of the pins thanks the demo looks good.

Hello Hacks360, all works great but when I run colligate_test I got the display flickering horribly.
Any ideas why is that happening? Even if I just do fill screen with black once in a setup() it then just flickers
even though not being updated in a loop(). Thanks in advance!

[RahulPandit-fmbg]

mylcd not declare in scope... please help...

[PantherJagger]

All I get is a blank screen, I am putting ILI9486 as myGLCD, any help would be great

[hamzi]

Hi....for bmp image on ili9486 lcd interfaced with arduino mega 2560 code you have given rd is -1, can you plz explain which is -1 pin on

[canofpulp]

It says to set the pins to my display module in the example code but I have the same one as you and it doesn't work.

[tadejsmole]

Hello i am doing a project that read some temperature and some rpm. now i cant figure out how can i print the values of them on my LCD. i keep getting errors

[sharky]

yea but what to do if you want to use the pins for some sensors? the shield covers everything

[Takio]

Hey, can you control the backlight without modifications? Like turning on/off or set it's brightness via PWM

[arshi]

Owo I'm shocking 😮 it’s Just awesome video 😮

[ilkinyenal]

Great Job ! But your show_bmp_picture example shows the pictures very very slowly.Do you have any idea how to be faster? Thank you

[veronicamartinez]

Holaa, no me deja descargar las librerias y no se qué hacer

[patricksculac]

The video Is awesome. It the LCD also touchscreen?

[MetalVAM-ibro]

Hola gracias por la información por fin funciono la pantalla, saludos desde Chile

[canofpulp]

Please update this video since the examples have been changed. It uploads but my screen is still white when i run any example.
