Description:

This is SainSmart 5 inch TFT LCD module with the TFT LCD shield kit for Arduino enthusiasts.It includes one piece of 5 inch TFT LCD display and a TFT LCD shield for Arduino MEGA2560. We will provided you the whole document including the example project of  Arduino MEGA2560 with the kit. We will supply you the technical support after your purchase.

SainSmart Mega2560 AVR ATmega2560 ATMEGA8U2 With Free USB cable 

This is the new MEGA2560 R3. In addition to all the features of the previous board, the MEGA now uses an ATMega16U2 instead of the ATMega8U2 chip. This allows for faster transfer rates and more memory. No drivers needed for Linux or Mac (inf file for Windows is needed and included in the Arduino IDE), and the ability to have the Uno show up as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.

The MEGA2560 R3 also adds SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. In addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin. One is the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. The other is a not connected and is reserved for future purposes. The MEGA2560 R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new shields which use these additional pins.

Features:

SainSmart 5 inch TFT LCD 480X800 Arduino DUE Mega2560 R3

It is 100% compatible with the normal MCU like ARM AVR PIC and 8051,especially on Arduino family such as Arduino Due and Arduino MEGA2560(R3). The module uses the LCD controller Chip SSD1963 with 5 inch LCD including the touchscreen.

Specification:

• 5.0" TFT LCD Module,  Resolution 800x400, SSD1963 Controller
• Resist film to protect the LCD screen
• On board 64Mbit SPI Flash for storing fonts of 10 sizes and 236 icons for custom application development
• Write images/icons to flash memory via SD card with zero programming
• 64Mbit can store 1800 42x42 pixel icons/images
• LCD Type: TFT Transmissive Normal White super wide viewing angle
• LCD Panel: HannStar HSD050IDW1 
• Interface: 8/16bit parallel bus interface
• 100% compatible with raspberry pi(You should program the code by yourself)
• PCB Color: Black
• On board DC-DC Boost regulator TPS61040 to provide power supply to LCD back-light
• With SD Cage and Flash IC footprint reserved
• LCD-specified initialization code is provided, so that you can save time to optimize power control register and gamma curves for best display performance. We have test the provided code, it gives the best display performanace
• Module dimension: 133mmx85mmx23mm(including pin header extrusion)
• Active Area: 108mmx65mm
• Pixel pitch: 0.135mmx0.135mm
• Standard 2x20 2.54mm pin header for connection to MCU/development board

It is 100% compatible with the normal MCU like ARM AVR PIC and 8051,especially on arduino family such as arduino due and arduino mega2560(R3).The module uses the LCD controller Chip SSD1963 with 5 inch LCD including the touchscreen.

Now, the TFT LCD Shield is 100% compatible with arduino due and fit for tow kind of TFT LCD module

1. 40pin version LCD which is commonly used in previous version of TFT shield for Arduino Due( like 3.2/5 inch LCD Display)
2. 32pin version LCD which is commonly used in STM32 development board. (unsoldered)

The shield defines that all the the data transmit ports are PC1-PC8 and PC12-PC19,the controll pins are PD0-PD3.The perfect design could realize that the data transmits in high speed.The SPI interface is designed in the ISP header of arduino due so that the SPI transfer with DMA could be achieved in high speed with no drag.

Package List:

• 1x SainSmart MEGA2560 R3 Board SAM3X8E
• 1x SainSmart 5 inch LCD Display with touchscreen for Arduino Due MEGA2560 R3
• 1x SainSmart TFT LCD Extend Shield for Arduino MEGA2560(R3)
• 1x USB Cable

Note:

1. We have confirmed that the LCD is 100% compatible with Raspberry Pi but we do not have the programmed project.
2. This shiled is just for Arduino MEGA2560(R3). If you need the LCD Extend shield for Arduno Due. Please click here.
