Good afternoon to all. I have written more PIC assembler than I care to remember but I'm new to Arduino. My project is to construct an artificial horizon (pitch and roll) for a microlight. I am considering using an Arduino 1, a 2 or 3 axis gyro and a tft display.
Has anybody succeeded in doing this already or is it beyond the limits of the hardware?
Any hints and tips would be gratefully received.
Thanks, Tom.
Welcome, Tom:
What you can do with Arduino and a graphic display will be constrained by:
- Arduino SRAM of chip
- Display pixels color/BW
Color TFT displays use more SRAM. The speed of display updating may also cause SRAM demands if the display is double-buffered or the code keeps change-only pixed flags.
Research some of the model sites... They have been messing around with this stuff for years.

Thank you Ray. I reckon that a modest memory expansion should be simple enough as I shall want to use four colours but only be moving one line on the display with an update around every 100 milliseconds.
