Basic display Tutorial

1.First download our DmTftLibrary from dmtftlibrary

2.Extract the content to your Arduino library folder. In Windows this is usually located in Arduino IDE folder\libraries. Check Arduino's official guide if you want more information on how to install the Arduino Library. The official guide of Arduino

3.Start Arduino IDE, open the sample code, click "File--> Examples-> DmTftLibraries", select the right board and COM port: DM-TFT28-105

4.Open the Example and upload to your Arduino board.

Display Sample Code

Basic function could be found from the library file <libraries\DmTftLibrary\DmTftBase.h>

 #include <SPI.h>
 #include <DmTftIli9341.h>
 DmTftIli9341 tft = DmTftIli9341(10, 9);// Define the function body
 void setup ()
 {
  tft.init();
  tft.drawString(5, 10,"  Romantic cabin");//Displays a string
  int x=100,y=100;
  tft.drawLine (x, y, x-80, y 30, YELLOW );//Draw line
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawLine (x, y, x 80, y 30, YELLOW );
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawLine (x-60, y 25, x-60, y 160, BLUE  );
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawLine (x 60, y 25, x 60, y 160, BLUE  );
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawLine (x-60, y 160, x 60, y 160,0x07e0  );
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawRectangle(x-40, y 50,x-20, y 70, 0x8418);//Draw rectangle
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawRectangle(x 40, y 50,x 20, y 70, 0x07ff);
  delay(1000);
  tft.fillRectangle(x-20, y 100, x 20, y 160, BRIGHT_RED);//Draw fill rectangle
  delay(1000);
  tft.drawLine (x, y 100, x, y 160, WHITE  );
  delay(1000);
  tft.fillCircle(x 100, y-30, 20, RED );
  delay(1000);
 }

 }
 void loop() {
  bool touched = true;
  if (dmTouch.isTouched()) {
    dmTouch.readTouchData(x,y,touched);//(x, y) coordinates read contacts
    calibration.drawCalibPoint(x, y);//In a display of contact
  }
 }

Display a pictures from a SD card

It requires a special format for the displaying picture: 16bit RGBRGB bmp You could download the convert tool here:ImageConverter

DFR0347 2.8 TFT Touch Shield with 4MB Flash for Arduino and mbed Display a pictures from a SD card

Anyway, there is converted picture in the library folder (DmTftLibrary\examples\DM-TFT28-105). You could have a try with it first.

1.Copy the converted picture to the SD.

2.Plug SD card in the touch screen.

3.Download the following program

 #include <SPI.h>
 #include <SPIFlash.h>
 #include <SD.h>
 #include <DmTftIli9341.h>
 #include <DmDrawBmpFromSdCard.h>
 #define TFT_CS  10
 #define SD_CS   8
 #define F_CS    6
 #define T_CS    4
 DmTftIli9341 tft = DmTftIli9341(10, 9);
 DmDrawBmpFromSdCard drawImage = DmDrawBmpFromSdCard();
 void setup()
 {
  // Set CS SPI pin HIGH for all SPI units, so they don't interfere
  pinMode(TFT_CS, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(TFT_CS, HIGH);
  pinMode(T_CS, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(T_CS, HIGH);
  pinMode(SD_CS, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(SD_CS, HIGH);
  pinMode(F_CS, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(F_CS, HIGH);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  tft.init();
  SD.begin(SD_CS);
  drawImage.drawImage("logop565.bmp", tft, 0, 0);//Display picture
  tft.clearScreen();
  delay(2000);
  drawImage.drawImage("logop888.bmp", tft, 0, 0);
 }
 void loop() { }
