Arduino 1.8"TFT LCD Touch Shield w/ST7735S,Library for Mega/Due/Uno

Product Update Notice
Date Issued: Nov 25,2024
Summary: Update ER-TFTM018-2-4123 to ER-TFTM018A3-2-4123
Reason: Due to the controller chip ILI9163 has been discontinued by the manufacturer,that we use a new IC ST7735S to instead,and the part number ER-TFTM018-2-4123 has been updated to ER-TFTM018A3-2-4123.
Impact: ER-TFTM018-2-4123 is the same with ER-TFTM018A3-2-4123 in mechanical dimension and electrical spec except the controller IC.As old customer,you only need to upate your initialization code we prepared in this page.

Description

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful small display shield . This TFT display is small (1.8" diagonal) bright (4pcs white-LED chips) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 128x160 pixels with individual pixel control.

The shield is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up our library - you'll have it running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Due/Mega 2560).
This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. You can connect more sensors, buttons and LEDs.

Of course, we wouldn't just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - we've written a full open source graphics library at the bottom of this page that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. We also have a touch screen library that detects x,y and z (pressure) and example code to demonstrate all of it. The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

For people who want the same screen but not in a shield, check out our 1.8" TFT breakout.

Attention

If you've had a lot of Arduino DUEs go through your hands (or if you are just unlucky), chances are you’ve come across at least one that does not start-up properly.The symptom is simple: you power up the Arduino but it doesn’t appear to “boot”. Your code simply doesn't start running.You might have noticed that resetting the board (by pressing the reset button) causes the board to start-up normally.The fix is simple,here is the solution.
