Add a dash of excitement to your project with a vibrant color touchscreen LCD. This 3.5" TFT display shines brilliantly with a 6 white-LED backlight, offering a spectrum of color and precision. Boasting 480x320 pixels, it delivers higher resolution than a 128x64 black and white display, and doubles the display size compared to a 2.8" TFT.
The unit comes equipped with a capacitive touchscreen, letting you detect finger presses at any point on the screen. A built-in controller with RAM buffering ensures minimal workload on the microcontroller, enhancing efficiency. Choose between two modes: 8-bit mode requiring 12 lines or the more streamlined 5-pin SPI mode. The integrated I2C pins enable smooth touchscreen communication, while the IRQ pin is available for touch detection, when needed.
Fancy a fuss-free setup? The built-in EYESPI connector allows quick interfacing with minimal wiring. User-friendly tutorials provide detailed guidance for wiring, testing, and coding. A fully open-source graphics library supports 8-bit interface fans to draw various shapes and text. SPI users have access to an optimized separate library, as well as a touchscreen library that detects up to 5 multi-touch points, all with example codes to ease development.
