Welcome!

And thank you for purchasing our AZ-Delivery SPI 1.8" TFT
display! On the following pages, we will take you through the first
steps from connecting the display to displaying text and
graphics.

Have fun!
The AZ-Delivery TFT display is a practical and energy-saving
module for displaying multi-line information, graphics or simple
animations without having to use powerful computing technology.
For example, sensor values can be read out from an Nano V3.0
or other microcontroller and displayed directly. The SD card
reader integrated on the back also makes it possible to display
images.

Connection with a controller

The TFT display is on a board that already has all the


necessary inputs and outputs for connection to a
microcontroller via a pin strip.
The connections for the SD card reader are also
implemented, but do not have any pins. You can decide for
yourself whether you want to solder pins or connecting
cables.
To use all functions, connect the connectors to your controller as
follows. Since the data input and the clock for data transmission
are the same for both the TFT and the card reader, we
recommend using a breadboard. An AZ-Delivery microcontroller
is used as the controller in these instructions.

MC > TFT
3.3 V – LED (Hintergrundbeleuchtung)
13 – SCK (Takt)
11 – SDA (MOSI)
9 – A0
8 – RESET
10 – CS (Chip Select / Adresse)
GND – GND
5 V – VCC

MC > SD-Kartenleser
4 – SD_CS (Chip Select / Adresse)
11 – SD_MOSI
12 – SD_MISO
13 – SD_SCK (Takt)
Font and graphics with the standard library

The ST7735 display driver built into the AZ-Delivery SPI 1.8"
TFT is so popular that it can be controlled via the TFT library
installed directly with the Arduino IDE on your computer.
Accordingly, you can already load a ready-made sketch onto
your controller, for example "TFTGraph":

If you look at the code of the example ketches, you


will see that you can already output individual
graphics and texts with the following commands:

// Hintergrundfarbe (RGB):
TFTscreen.background(250, 16, 200);
// Linienfarbe (RGB):
TFTscreen.stroke(250, 180, 10);

// Linie von Punkt zu Punkt zeichnen


TFTscreen.line(x1, y1, x2, y2);

// Text schreiben
TFTscreen.text("Hier steht der Text", x,

y);

Displaying a Bitmap Image

The TFT library not only supports the display, but


also the integrated SD card reader. To test this,
open the sample sketch "TFTBitmapLogo".

The wiring on the previous page is compatible with this sketch.


What you need to do to make it work properly is to format an SD
card as FAT or FAT32 and save a bmp file on it in landscape
format with a resolution of 160 x 128 px. Then, in line 83 of the
sketch, rename the name of the image to be loaded to that of
your saved file.

After you have loaded the sketch onto the microcontroller,


you will see how the image is built up on the display.
Congratulations!
Advanced graphics functions

If you want more options for creating your displays, you can
use the GFX library from Adafruit. To use it with the display,
install the "Adafruit GFX Library" and the "Adafruit ST7735
Library" via the Library Manager:

If you now open the sketch "graphictest", you will find lots of
design options from the definition of a single pixel to lines
and rectangles to prefabricated more complex shapes such
as the media buttons.

In order for the code to work, you still have to make a small
change, as Adafruit's pins 8 and 9 are reversed compared to
the TFT library. Just change lines 32 and 34 according to
your circuit.

Now you can upload the sketch or take a look at the code and
create your own.

Information:
In rare cases, it can happen with this library that the display
gets a luminous border. If this is the case with yours, change
the variable "INITR_BLACKTAB" to "INITR_GREENTAB" in
the setup() method in line 55.
You did it! Congratulations!

From now on it's learning time. With the help of the AZ Delivery
SPI 1.8" TFT display, you can not only visualise static images,
graphics or texts, but also make visible what your connected
sensors have to tell you without having to rely on a connection
to a computer! And of course you can get these sensors and
other hardware at your online shop:
