Using Arduino with LCD TFT QVGA BL-TFT240320PLUS.

   BL-TFT240320PLUS design as LCD TFT arduino shield. It can plug into Arduino Diecimila.   It's contain LCD QVGA and sd card. It can use as a terninal, dataloge, etc..

Version 2. contain on board DS1307 I2C RTC.

   
Arduino pin interface
    BL-TFT240320PLUS interface is 8 or 16 bit mode. In order to use with arduino. Set jumper to 8 bit mode. Arduino pin interface description below.

    

SD card  interface
    Interface SD card with SPI port

Other PIN interface
    BL-TFT240302PLUS module have free pin. for arduino board to use as analog input and digital I/O.

    BL-TFT240302PLUS V1
        - analog input 0 ( digital pin 14 )
        - analog input 2 ( digital pin 16 )
    BL-TFT240302PLUS V2
        - analog input 3 ( digital pin 17 )
        - I2C pin on analog input 4,5 ( digital pin 8,19 ) connect to on board DS1307 RTC.

Software library
    TFT class. There are 2 class.

• Graphic and driver class is low level driver to interface with TFT and  simple graphic library.

            Function and variable

            lcdTft();
            void Reset(void);
            void WrCmd(uint8_t data);
            void WrDat(word val);
            void setCursor(word x, word y);
            void setArea(word x1, word y1, word x2, word y2);
            void setColor(word penColor) { Color = penColor; };
            word getColor(void) { return (unsigned int)Color; };
            void PutPixel(word x, word y);
            void Rect(word left, word top, word right, word bottom, word color);
            void Clear(word pencolor);
            word getMaxX() {return (unsigned int)SCREEN_HOR_SIZE-1;};
            word getMaxY() {return (unsigned int)SCREEN_VER_SIZE-1;};
            void Line(unsigned int x1, unsigned int y1, unsigned int x2, unsigned int y2);
            void Rectangle(unsigned int x1, unsigned int y1, unsigned int x2, unsigned int y2, unsigned int radius);
            void RectangleFill(unsigned int x1, unsigned int y1, unsigned int x2, unsigned int y2, unsigned int radius);
            void CircleFill(unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int radius, unsigned char fill);
            void Circle(unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int radius, unsigned char fill);

• Font class is font class to draw font on TFT. It's best on ontEditor written by H. Reddmann.

            Function and variable

            uint16_t   FgColor;        //Text fg color
            uint16_t   BkColor;        //Text bk color
            uint8_t     FixFont;         //Text type 0=Proportional , 1=Fixed 
            uint8_t     Transparence;   // Transparent 0=No, 1=Yes
            uint8_t     ScaleX;            //X size of font
            uint8_t     ScaleY;            //Y size of font
            uint8_t     CharSpace;        //CharSpace between char
            unsigned int cursorX;        // x position
            unsigned int cursorY;        // y position
            lcdFont();
            void Font(uint8_t *pointer);
            void PutChar(uint8_t c);
            void Puts(char *Text);
            unsigned int CalcTextWidth(char *Text);
            unsigned int CalcTextHeight(char *Text);
            void Number(uint32_t src, uint8_t digit, uint8_t decimal, uint8_t Parameter);
                #define STYLE_NONE        0
                #define STYLE_NO_ZERO   1
                #define STYLE_NO_SPACE  2

            void Text(uint16_t left, uint16_t top, uint16_t right, uint16_t bottom, char * str, uint8_t style);
            void TextBox(uint16_t left, uint16_t top, uint16_t right, uint16_t bottom, char * str, uint8_t style);
                // text box
                #define ALINE_LEFT        0
                #define ALINE_CENTER    1
                #define ALINE_RIGHT        2

                // border style
                #define BORDER_NONE    0x00
                #define BORDER_RECT     0x04
                #define BORDER_FILL       0x08
                #define BORDER_BEVEL   0xF0    // bevel radius 0x00(rectangle), 0x10-0xF0(radius size)

               Using TextBox style can combile  ALINE_CENTER |  BORDER_RECT |  BORDER_FILL.

   touchscreen

         Touch screen dirver is ads7843. using 3 point calibrate and save matrix data to eeprom. Change eeprom location by modify #define EE_MATRIX_ADDR

            Function and variable
            touchscreen();                 // init class and read metrix from eeprom
            POINT screenPoint;        // touch screen point
            POINT displayPoint;        // display(LCD) view point
            MATRIX matrix;
            void Reset(void);            // init and reset touch chip
            void getMatrix(void);       // read matrix from eeprom
            void setMatrix(void);       // write matrix to eeprom
            void sampling(POINT * pScreen, unsigned char nTest); // get samppling point
            void readPoint(void);    // reading touch point
 

    Sd Card class

          Sd card for small and fast. We use Petit FatFs for Chan. It is read only. Using warp class to init interface. Petit FatFs must be in same location for compile and link. FatFs function use direct call fatfs function. If you need fat object use Sdcard::fatfs.

            Function and variable
                FATFS fatfs;            // FatFs object interface for c language compile and link
                SDcard();
                uint8_t mount(void); // SD card mount

   DS1307

           On board contain DS1307 I2C RTC for time application.  using DS1307.cpp - library for DS1307 rtc.  Created by matt.joyce@gmail.com, December, 2007.

            Function and variable
               DS1307();
               void get(int *, boolean);
               int get(int, boolean);
               int min_of_day(boolean);
               void set(int, int);
               void start(void);
               void stop(void);
                void get_sram_data(byte *);
               void set_sram_data(byte *);
               byte get_sram_byte(int);
               void set_sram_byte(byte, int);
