Introduction :

We know that we could find many examples for Arduino and TFT LCD to work together, Arduino UNO with 2.8"/3.2" TFT screen, or Arduino Mega with 2.8"/5.0" TFT screen. They are all working very well. However, if you play with it, you may find they are rather blunt, not swift enough to show a picture quickly. In fact, we've made some TFT shields for Arduino Uno/Mega ever. But we feel they are all not good enough.

Why ? You know, Arduino UNO/Mega works on 8-bit ATMega328/1280/2560. Those chips are not powerful enough for TFT screen. While Arduino Due comes, we feel that: oh, it is the time !

Here comes it ! We've already has an 3.2" TFT Screen Shield for Arduino Due. Now here comes the 5.0" TFT Screen Shield for Arduino Due.

Arduino Due is based on 32-bit ARM processor, and it is much more powerful than Arduino UNO/Mega. So if you play Arduino DUE and TFT, you feel everything abviously runs faster than Arduino Mega. You could display a picture shortly.

Specification :

Our shield is designed for Arduino DUE/ Taijiuino DUE.  It is not compatible with Arduino Mega/Mega2560. Please DO NOT insert it to Arduino Mega/Mega2560. Otherwise the TFT Screen might be damaged.

Unlike last version, the new shield board connecting Arduino Due and TFT Screen now could supply 3.3V or 5V voltage to TFT screen, which means being compatible with both 3.2" TFT Screen and 5.0" TFT Screen.
 

Our TFT shield doesn't cover all the female pins like most of other TFT shield. We know that sometimes we need other modules connected with Arduino at the same time. To make things easier, our designing also leaves space for a Sensor Shield. Users don't need to spend much time on wiring.

As shown in the picture above, most of the interfaces are available, including UART, I2C, PWM and analog ports.

1) Plug in and Play

2) 5V Power Supply

3) 3V3 TTL data interface

4) SSD1963 driver and XPT2046 touch controller

5) 5" TFT 800*480 TFT Screen with SD and Touching Control

Examples :

Place those 3 library folders under <arduinoIDE>/Libraries/. You may need to change the folder name. Restart the IDE.

Open the sample: UTFT_Demo_TFT5  :
 

Upload it to Arduino Due. Then you could draw on the screen.
 

You could watch the demo on Youtube.

Touch controlling example is still available in the libarary.
