![]() In the setup section we need to initiate the screen and the touch, define the pin modes for the connected sensor, the led and the button, and initially call the drawHomeSreen() custom function, which will draw the home screen of the program. Next we need to define the fonts that are coming with the libraries and also define some variables needed for the program. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries. You can download these libraries from his website, and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.Īfter we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. And at the end of this article I will post the complete source code.

Amazon / Banggood / AliExpressĭisclosure: These are affiliate links. Arduino Board …………………………… Amazon / Banggood / AliExpress.TFT Display Mega Shield……………… Amazon / Banggood / AliExpress.You can get these components from any of the sites below: Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. Parts needed for this Arduino Touch ScreenĪs an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. ![]() Now we will go through each of these examples and step by step explain the codes behind them.
