Hi.I am using Arduino TFT LCD screen 1.77" .detail of the display is given in the below link.
I am trying to interface this with Arduino Micro Board.I have used the Example sketch from Arduino IDE to display the Text in the TFT screen.
(Arduino IDE->File->Example->TFT->Arduino->TFTDisplay Text)
This is my code.
#include <TFT.h> // Arduino LCD library
#include <SPI.h>
// pin definition for the Uno
#define cs 10
#define dc 9
#define rst 8
// pin definition for the Leonardo
// #define cs 7
// #define dc 0
// #define rst 1
// create an instance of the library
TFT TFTscreen = TFT(cs, dc, rst);
// char array to print to the screen
char sensorPrintout[4];
void setup() {
// Put this line at the beginning of every sketch that uses the GLCD:
TFTscreen.begin();
// clear the screen with a black background
TFTscreen.background(0, 0, 0);
// write the static text to the screen
// set the font color to white
TFTscreen.stroke(255,255,255);
// set the font size
TFTscreen.setTextSize(2);
// write the text to the top left corner of the screen
TFTscreen.text("Sensor Value :\n ",0,0);
// ste the font size very large for the loop
TFTscreen.setTextSize(5);
}
void loop() {
// Read the value of the sensor on A0
String sensorVal = String(analogRead(A0));
// convert the reading to a char array
sensorVal.toCharArray(sensorPrintout, 4);
// set the font color
TFTscreen.stroke(255,255,255);
// print the sensor value
TFTscreen.text(sensorPrintout, 0, 20);
// wait for a moment
delay(250);
// erase the text you just wrote
TFTscreen.stroke(0,0,0);
TFTscreen.text(sensorPrintout, 0, 20);
}
Above code works fine and continuously display the variable with blink of every 250ms.
If I remove the following part from the above code
TFTscreen.stroke(0,0,0);
TFTscreen.text(sensorPrintout, 0, 20);
It stops blinking.But new value is superimposed with old value.I would like to display a variable without blinking.
How to resolve this problem?
