Arduino emulator mac tft full#
The Adafruit_GFX_AS library attached contains some significant speed improvements that permit drawing font 2 characters at over 1000 per second, this is needed to keep up with with a full speed 9600 baud rate. The Terminal sketch is included as one of the examples within the Adafruit_ILI9341_AS library. The libraries and sketches needed are attached as zip files. At 9600 baud the Terminal manages to keep up with the data flow. Output text messages sent using Serial.print from the other Arduino to the Terminal will be displayed. Connect the Terminal UNO Rx pin to the Tx pin on the Arduino to be monitored.Connect the Terminal UNO GND to GND on the Arduino to be monitored.

Once programmed the Terminal can be connected to another Arduino to monitor the serial output: Pin 9 of the display does not need to be connected up. The 1K2 and 1K8 resistors are a "potential divider", acting as a logic level shifter so that the logic level at the display is reduced from 5V to around 3V. It is important to include the 1K8 resistors to GND with this 2.2" display as otherwise it will not work.

UNO digital pin 10 through a 1K2 resistor to display pin 3 (CS), add a 1K8 resistor from display pin 3 to GND.UNO digital pin 9 through a 1K2 resistor to display pin 5 (DC/RS), add a 1K8 resistor from display pin 5 to GND.UNO digital pin 7 through a 1K2 resistor to display pin 4 (RESET), add a 1K8 resistor from display pin 4 to GND.UNO +5V through a 56 Ohm resistor to display pin 8 (LED).The connections between the display and UNO are not the same as my other instructable, for this project connect as follows: Though the development has been done with a UNO, the final battery powered terminal will be based around the smaller Pro Micro, with a battery pack and 3 AA batteries this will be nice and portable. which is a bit faster than I can read them! These speed improvements means that characters in the proportional font 2 can be printed to the screen at more than 1000 characters per second. The ILI9341 and GFX libraries featured in this instructable has been optimised for speed, some of the speed enhancing features use direct PORT access to the ATmega328 registers so it is important to use an Arduino board based on that processor chip. The unique part of this project is that the sketch uses the built in hardware scrolling feature of the ILI9341 chip, this takes the processing burden off the Arduino AVR microcontroller and means that the display can keep up with serial text messages at 9600 baud. To achieve this I built the small portable display terminal described herein. As a bit of background reading you may find my instructable here useful.ĭuring debugging of one of my battery powered Arduino projects I needed to have a portable terminal to look at the debug output being printed to the serial pins.
Arduino emulator mac tft driver#
I have been making projects based around a 2.2" TFT display which uses the ILI9341 driver chip, this display can be connected to and controlled by an Arduino UNO.
