Getting Started with the TFT_eSPI Library using the Arduino IDE

Ғылым және технология

In this video discuss how to get started using the wonderful TFT_eSPI library in the Arduino environment for controlling TFT displays. Some of the things we cover include: where to get the library, how to navigate the library, how to setup the "User_Select.h" file, pinouts for TFT displays, and review an example sketch from the TFT_eSPI library with some slight modifications.

    Great walk-through. Just to be clear, the display itself must be a LCD display, hence the LED backlight. Looking forward to seeing the follow-up video. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us 🙂

    Thanks for the comment. The display that I used in the demo was a TFT LCD display that had "LED backlight." In the video I just referred to it as a "TFT Display." Are you saying that if a display has LED backlighting it must be LCD? I was making the assumption (maybe incorrectly) that any display technology could have LED backlighting.

    Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. There are a lot of ways to open and view a .h or .cpp file. They are in a standard ASCII format so you can open them with any text editor, such as Windows note pad (just right click and select open with and navigate to note pad). You can also use free code editors like Notepad++ (notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/). You could also move the file into the same folder as an Arduino sketch and open that sketch and the .h file will show up in a separate tab in the sketch. But if you do that remember that Arduino will compile that file as part of your sketch. Hope this helps.

    Fantastic video - brilliantly explained and perfect for someone like me with limited experience. Not only did I get my first ever ESP32 working with the TFT screen (I'd not used either before) but it really helped me gain a better base understanding in a number of areas - I learnt loads that will help with other projects too. Thanks!
