Interested. Subbed. :) thanks.

I'm one of the ones who missed the initial campaign, I started a new job a few months ago and has been a real distraction, otherwise I was on these forums nearly every day until then! Glad to have pre-ordered one of each though to have a play. Seriously can't wait! I've got a massive project...

Hiya, Thanks for that, very handy.. From my tests, it saves around 10mA (@~4.91v) which all adds up.. Currently, I just fade the Backlight down when inactivity detected (PIR) which scrubs serious amounts of juice, I must admit, when I first started using LCD / TFT screens I was amazed at how...

Hi All... K, so recently I've bitten the bullet to update Arduino IDE (to 1.6.5) and Teensyduino to 1.24... which kinda messed everything up.. But getting things working bit by bit, but after a gazillion years of messing around I can't get Adafruit SPI FRAM module working with the 'new'...

I seem to have found myself with a bricked teensy 3.1 too.. Im so annoyed too since it's soldered into a costly teensy 3 breakout board from tindie... Started with having issues loading sketches where I had to time exactly when I pressed the reset button to get it to be recognised.. Slowed...

Hey Cosford, the item Paul linked to is a neat little unit, not tried one of those before. I've got same issue but mine was fixed for time being by using little AA battery operated MP3 speakers just while i'm testing.. But ultimately I'll be using one of these chaps...

Lol, I think we just posted the exact same time Paul ;) Cheers Andy

Hiya, sounds like could be balanced / unbalanced ground issue. You using polarised cap in series with ground yeah? Good way to test is run amplifier from totally separate dc supply (battery, not mains adaptor or usb from same PC etc) and that should eliminate it... Then you'll know it's the...

Hey Paul, yeah I went all through the whole pull-up routine, I've been caught out by that in the past, but this issue as it turns out was even simpler thanks to HWGuy, wrong damn pins lol! I didn't even want the stupid shield version of the display since I was always gonna be using it with a...

... Wow... That was easy :) Something about the adafruit support pages did / but didn't make that clear at all since I was sure the default config was A4/A5 off the shield... (None of my uno boards have those 2 pins up the top even labeled as SCL/SDA, so didn't even realise they were used!)...

So you've managed to get the touch working on a teensy 3.1? Can I confirm it's the FT6206 adafruit capacitance touch tft? If so what library are you using coz I've so far failed completely to get this thing working,, I can print gfx at top speed with the spi fix, I can load bitmaps using sdfat...

Hiya, thanks for your reply, and sorry for the delay in mine, holidays / illness and a little failing confidence in these support forums as I never seem to get replies or help for some reason no matter how specific I try to be (poor me) ;) Anyway, yeah, I can get the screen working, that's no...

Teensy 3.1 vs FT6206 Capacitance Touch Driver (2.8" TFT) Hiya fellow Teensy Fans ;) I've been battling with my new Adafruit 2.8" TFT with Capacitance Touch. I've got it working perfectly with the optimised ILI9341 T3 Library which takes full advantage of the Teensy's super fast SPI...

Neilh20 - I couldn't agree more with the marketing side if things.. I should have mentioned, I own www.JoopMedia.com which is marketing specialist company (I come from direct sales trainer / marketing consultancy background) although I'm fortunate enough to also be a designer and programmer and...

Hey KurtE, I'll take a look, thanks, Problem I've got with the CS is that I have to take over control of that manually since I have 2 x CS; one for each screen, essentially I draw each screen alternately, approx 100fps each screen every loop every screen, hence I can't have a single delay /...
