SPFD5408 library

Welcome to the SPFD5408 wiki!

This library is a Adafruit’s libraries for TFT changed to works with SPFD5408 controller of cheap TFT 2.4 Shield

I moved the libraries GFX, TFTLCD and Touch for one library, the SPFD5408.

I did this to facilitate installation , minimize problems due to duplicate libraries and enable use the original Adafruit for other projects with other TFT

Attention!

Due to variations in Chinese shields with some controller, there is no guarantee that will work for everyone.

I’ll try a more suppliers in aliexpress to test more variations.

Please let me know if this happens.

Also please send me feedback, problems or suggestions.

Utilization

You can copy the code of SPFD5408 library examples for your sketch;

or if you download any code that uses Adafruit Libraries, please verify it:

- Change the includes:

#include <SPFD5408_Adafruit_GFX.h>    // Core graphics library
#include <SPFD5408_Adafruit_TFTLCD.h> // Hardware-specific library
#include <SPFD5408_TouchScreen.h>     // Touch library

(insert the SPFD5408_ prefix to use this library instead the Adafruit libraries)

- Pinout XM XP, must be:

#define YP A1  // must be an analog pin, use "An" notation!
#define XM A2  // must be an analog pin, use "An" notation!
#define YM 7   // can be a digital pin
#define XP 6   // can be a digital pin

—- Calibrate before run

Exists one sketch written for my, to help in calibration of touch
See it in examples folder
Run it and change this parameters:

#define TS_MINX 150
#define TS_MINY 120
#define TS_MAXX 920
#define TS_MAXY 940
