Arduino TFT Touch Screen Calculator (MCUFRIEND) : Part 1

Advertisement

In our previously published article we talked about MCUFRIEND TFT Touch Screen. Arduino TFT Touch Screen Calculator is an Easy Example of Practical Deployment of Programmable Microcontroller From the Libraries. It is important to understand that this guide will only supply codes which may be buggy on different “models” of MCUFRIEND TFT Touch Screens. I named this article as “Part 1” for those bugs and no practical improvement of others codes. What code will work for me may not work for your same one (however you’ll not see a blank white screen) or you’ll see mirror image. Frankly, there is no question of circuit diagram for a shield with Arduino UNO. Simply snap on the shield on Arduino UNO.

 

Arduino TFT Touch Screen Calculator (MCUFRIEND)

 

Below code is for your understanding and matching with the examples from MCUFRIEND_KBV example libraries, it will only show the keys. This is how the keyboard is drawn, you can change the colors, tweak. void loop() is empty. The code actually not respond to touch, it is only for checking the keys :

  tft.drawFastHLine(0, 140, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastHLine(0, 200, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastHLine(0, 260, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastHLine(0, 320-1, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastVLine(0, 80, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastVLine(60, 80, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastVLine(120, 80, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastVLine(180, 80, 240, BLACK);
  tft.drawFastVLine(240-1, 80, 240, BLACK);
  for (int y=0;y<4;y++) {
    for (int x=0;x<4;x++) {
      tft.setCursor(22 + (60*x), 100 + (60*y));
      tft.setTextSize(3);
      tft.setTextColor(BLACK);
      tft.println(Key[y][x]);
    }
  }
}
void loop() {
}

If with the above code you see everything fine but digits mirrored, then possibly you have some slightly different hardware, you probably need to tweak the like tft.setRotation. You can perform Google search to fix it. It is not big matter.

It is kind of beta version of progress and a self-reminder. You can proceed to read Part 2 of this effort.
