Interface Arduino UNO clone with a 2.4 TFT touchscreen - 2nd version

On July I've tested a first version of 2.4" TFT touchscreen shield for Arduino.
Now, I've tested a second version, but it was different ( probably use a different display driver) and need an update on firmware source.






I've tested this library, ( thanks to the author Joao ) :

https://github.com/JoaoLopesF/SPFD5408

but I made some adjustment in order to function correctly with this TFT display.

Without this amendment, the issues were :
- Colour's difference
- Wrong  "x" and "y" axis  on the touch

Colour's difference : 

To adjust the colour issue , I've added just one line/command on "SPFD5408_Adafruit_TFTLCD" library.

On the "Adafruit_TFTLCD::begin" procedure , I 've added :

writeRegister8(ILI9341_INVERTON, 0);//

Below , the complete function with the correction higlighted in red  :

void Adafruit_TFTLCD::begin(uint16_t id) {
  uint8_t i = 0;

  reset();
  delay(200);
  if((id == 0x9325) || (id == 0x9328)) {
    uint16_t a, d;
    driver = ID_932X;
    CS_ACTIVE;
    while(i < sizeof(ILI932x_regValues) / sizeof(uint16_t)) {
      a = pgm_read_word(&ILI932x_regValues[i++]);
      d = pgm_read_word(&ILI932x_regValues[i++]);
      if(a == TFTLCD_DELAY) delay(d);
      else                  writeRegister16(a, d);
    }
    setRotation(rotation);
    setAddrWindow(0, 0, TFTWIDTH-1, TFTHEIGHT-1);

  } else if (id == 0x9341) {

    uint16_t a, d;
    driver = ID_9341;
    CS_ACTIVE;
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_SOFTRESET, 0);
    delay(50);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_DISPLAYOFF, 0);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_POWERCONTROL1, 0x23);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_POWERCONTROL2, 0x10);
    writeRegister16(ILI9341_VCOMCONTROL1, 0x2B2B);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_VCOMCONTROL2, 0xC0);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_MEMCONTROL, ILI9341_MADCTL_MY | ILI9341_MADCTL_BGR);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_PIXELFORMAT, 0x55);
    writeRegister16(ILI9341_FRAMECONTROL, 0x001B);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_ENTRYMODE, 0x07);
    /* writeRegister32(ILI9341_DISPLAYFUNC, 0x0A822700);*/
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_SLEEPOUT, 0);
    delay(150);
    writeRegister8(ILI9341_DISPLAYON, 0);
    delay(500);
// *** SPFD5408 change -- Begin
// Not tested yet
writeRegister8(ILI9341_INVERTON, 0);//included by paco
delay(500);//included by paco - could be removed ?
    // *** SPFD5408 change -- End
    setAddrWindow(0, 0, TFTWIDTH-1, TFTHEIGHT-1);
    return;

  } else if (id == 0x8357) {
    // HX8357D
    driver = ID_HX8357D;
    CS_ACTIVE;
     while(i < sizeof(HX8357D_regValues)) {
      uint8_t r = pgm_read_byte(&HX8357D_regValues[i++]);
      uint8_t len = pgm_read_byte(&HX8357D_regValues[i++]);
      if(r == TFTLCD_DELAY) {
delay(len);
      } else {
//Serial.print("Register $"); Serial.print(r, HEX);
//Serial.print(" datalen "); Serial.println(len);

CS_ACTIVE;
CD_COMMAND;
write8(r);
CD_DATA;
for (uint8_t d=0; d<len; d++) {
 uint8_t x = pgm_read_byte(&HX8357D_regValues[i++]);
 write8(x);
}
CS_IDLE;

      }
    }

Touch has a wrong  "x" and "y" axis 


Below, you can find the example source file "spfd5408_tftpaint" by Jao Lopes, contained in the library.
I function perfectly, just the touch had a wrong "X" & "Y"  axis value.
I made a few adjustment to fix it . See below higlighted in red.

4 Channel Relay Shield Arduino compatible


I've used this relay shield for a personal project, the quality of the boards was pretty fine but there was no documentation supplied except for an image or two on the original web site.

Module features are :
  1. Standard for Arduino Shield interfaces and shape.
  2. Can continue to stack other for Arduino expansion board (relays use Digital output Pins 7,6,5 and 4). Also the SPI connector is stackable
  3. 3x M3 screw positioning holes for easy installation.
  4. High Drive (5V or 3.3V) normally open contact closure.
  5. 4 red led Onboard relay indicator
Special Note: If mounting on an Arduino Uno, take care about the pins of the green terminal blocks do not interfere with the USB interface (which is higher than normal).



Relay Shield Interface:
  • Relay: sky- 5V DC relay , model HJR-4102-L-5V, 
  • Power Interface : 5V DC power interface
  • Indicator: four leds are red when the relay is driven high , the corresponding indicator will light up .
  • Relay Terminals: Terminal high-power , high-current high voltage can be connected to the device - 3A 125VAC - 3A 24VDC
Here a simple example's sketch:

void setup () 
  { 
    pinMode (4, OUTPUT); 
    digitalWrite (4, LOW );
    pinMode (5, OUTPUT); 
    digitalWrite (5, LOW );
    pinMode (6, OUTPUT); 
    digitalWrite (6, LOW );
    pinMode (7, OUTPUT); 
    digitalWrite (7, LOW );
    pinMode (13, OUTPUT); 
    delay (5000);
 }

void loop () 
    
    digitalWrite (4, HIGH );
    digitalWrite (5, HIGH );
    digitalWrite (6, HIGH );
    digitalWrite (7, HIGH );
    digitalWrite (13, HIGH );
    delay (1000);
    digitalWrite (4, LOW );
    digitalWrite (5, LOW );
    digitalWrite (6, LOW );
    digitalWrite (7, LOW );
    digitalWrite (13, LOW );
    delay (1000);
    
}
