Hi guys, I have a tft screen with touch panel and I want to connect this with the arduino.
I have been looking to buy only the modulo but I must buy the tft screen, and touch panel too, but I have they.
Can you help me?
Hi Kostli,
I am guessing English is not your first language....
What screen do you have..... What model of Arduino do you have...... What do you think you need to buy?
Some links would be useful....
I am guessing by modulo you mean shield?
You really haven't given us much information to help you with.
Regards,
Graham
Haha no English is not my first language.
- I think the touch screen is a common touch screen, but on it writes:
AB0N3111
6 | 08
and a second code number:
LTA070B0N3A
R0011560 06/09
I searched for these codes on google but finds nothing.
-
I have the arduino UNO shield with atmega328P-PU.
-
I searched for touch screen modulo(shield) and I found this: shield
So I wand only the shield not the screen.
If you have someting else in your mind, which do the same work, it's ok!
Thank you for your time and patience!!!
Apparently you have Toshiba LCD http://vcdisplays.com/index.php/inventory/lcd/lta057a340f-detail?lang=en,
You need to find out the part description for controller used in this LCD.
Than you need to find / decide which LCD library you CAN use.
The common library is UTFT but without knowing the controller it MAY not work.
Be aware this library is build for connecting to common shields, so you need to check that too.
I searched for datasheet of this panel but nothing. Acording the sites which I browsed, I must have a company to download the datasheets.
So i cant find the how the panel connect.
I searched for a driver which connect the 7 inch tft touch screen Toshiba Matsushita LTA070B0N3A with arduino and I found this, But I found nothing more about this, like a datasheet.
Does anyone knows about a driver which I could control the screen panel with arduino Uno?
Thanks a lot
Some photoes for help:
the screen:
and the touch panel:
The Arduino does not have enough memory to draw an image on the screen, and it's not fast enough to update it, even if it had enough memory. You need to shift data out continously with a 25 MHz+ clock.
Forget it, never going to happen.

Hi kostli,
First of all, there are different types of lcd panels. Some take RGB or Composite video, such as from a DVD player, zapro means the Arduino is not able to drive those type of displays. Whereas there are others that have a driver chip (processor and memory) built in that handle refresh rate and drawing pixels to screen. It is the second type you need to be able to work with the Arduino. With those displays all you need to do is give colour/coordinate information and the built in driver chip will display it for you.
You have provided links to Sainsmart, my advice to you would be, buy from ANY other supplier! Sainsmart leads only to headaches and disappointment, and are also not even that cheap any more!
If you want to buy, connect and enjoy with no doubts or worries, use only displays specifically mentioned from suppliers listed in UTFT_Supported_display_modules_&_controllers.pdf. I have included it as an attachment.
The best shield by far is made by CTE and is available for both Mega and DUE. Coldtears (CTE) have an ebay shop as their only outlet here MWC electronics store | eBay Stores If you buy from anywhere else, it will be a copy...

So each screen is different as much as my screen maybe is not compatible with the modulo(shield) that you say?
