    Mounting of ILI9341 TFT to complete project??

    Bezel thoughts I think you are right. I have purchased a 6060Z cnc machine for doing things like this but have it in storage for the moment as I am moving and jumping countries. One thought for routing such delicate and often small pieces is to use a Dremel tool with chamfering bit and...

    Mounting of ILI9341 TFT to complete project??

    Hi DougMck. In truth not for a couple of months maybe sooner but I wouldn't count on it. I feel your frustration (not with PJRC, they are awesome) but with the general lack of bezels for all of these displays that are being sold. At the moment my cost would be for the black plexiglass or...

    Is there a simple E-paper driver for Teensy LC?

    Michael. I have that same 1.54 inch display, actually both versions, B/W and B/W/R. However, I am having trouble getting it to work with the Teensy 3.2 which I wish to use for a meter project. I am using the GxEPD library as well. Would you mind posting how you connected the display to your...

    Mounting of ILI9341 TFT to complete project??

    Hi DougMcK. I never did find a bezel for this display although I looked high and low. I have finally decided to make my own. I could design one and have one of the online shops cut it for me out of black plexiglass or whatever color you might want but I am a machine head as well so I intend...

    DG battery powered wire wrap tool 14R2F, instructions and tool bits needed

    Hi all. For the past few years I have been wire wrapping my projects and prototypes and quite happy to do so. I really like the process and what I consider to be the plus benefits of using this process. Just recently I purchased from eBay a Denver Gardner 14R2F battery powered tool. I am...

    Would like advice on daylight viewable TFT LCD

    Update to Alibaba inquiry for a daylight readable TFT LCD ILI 9341C. I am corresponding with a company about this product and awaiting a quote on a few units for testing. They can supply a resistive touch screen but apparently I would have to add my own chip to control the touch screen to my...

    Would like advice on daylight viewable TFT LCD

    Thank you for the URLS. I knew about the Newhaven products but had never investigated the 4D products. They are interesting but also expensive and I am leery about using the 4D programming environment(s) as well as how they integrate with the Teensy 3.2 which is at the heart of my projects. I...

    Would like advice on daylight viewable TFT LCD

    Good day. I have a meter project that I would like to use a 3.5 inch daylight viewable TFT LCD with touchscreen display in. I currently use the PJRC LCD but find it unreadable in some daylight use situations. I am looking at some of the Chinese suppliers. I would greatly appreciate having...

    How about a 3.5 inch 480x320 tochscreen display?

    Dear Paul. Another fantastic project. My preference would be for at least a minimally daylight readable display option even if that cost extra. I have several hand held meter projects using the touch sensitive TFT display and it is unreadable even in very bright room light. Hence my desire...

    Teensy 3.2 SdFat always losing last data set, not saving to SD

    Resolved Along with changes I made to the SD coding there was a conflict between the SPI of the SD card breakout and that of the 2.7 inch OLED display. When calling the display to show the resfreshed data after saving to the SD card I needed to add a " u8g2.begin();" to my "refreshdisplay()...

    E-paper and Teensy

    E-paper and Teensy

    Well, I have had my Waveshare 4.3 inch e-paper display for 24 hours now and have had it working (on Arduino Uno) for the past two hours with different sketches to learn the commands and capabilities. Given the lazy refresh I am very impressed with the contrast and definition of the display. I...

    E-paper and Teensy

    My quick research says that one of the reasons for the slow refresh rate is that actual carbon particles have to "float" to the surface of the e-paper. Also, going white from black may be faster. Some people only change the characters that need changing and not the whole screen. There seem to...

    Teensy 3.2 Locked up. Unable to load new program

    Once you do get back to communicating with your Teensy, check your program for an incomplete SD call (not closed file, etc.) I recently had exactly the same issue and it came down to that.

    Possible comparison of Teensy's and Apollo Moon Landing Computer??

    As one who once carried a slide rule (on my belt, oh yes) and remembers Sputnik and the whole space race, I have marveled at the continued evolution of electronic computation (I once built a simple analogue computing device). I have been developing first with Arduino Unos, then Dues and now the...

    White screen with ILI9341 & SD data logger

    Thank you Kurt. Took your advice, also went and did further looking in the SD_Fat and ILI9341 libraries to see what and how the SPI transactions were being handled. I went back to basics and stripped out all the SPI transaction scripting I had put in to the example above. Still had trouble...

    I have several of the Feather Teensy units and have wired one up to the PJRC ILI9341 display (not the touch one). This display works fine with regular Teensy 3.2 ( not mounted in Feather) projects but I can't get it to work with the Feather mounted Teensy 3.2. I have tried to find a...

    Is it possible to store data, then average a number of sets and write result to SD?

    That is great news, I wasn't sure how to even estimate how much "overhead" might be used if I did that. Currently I think I will write to to the SD every hour. Thank you

    Is it possible to store data, then average a number of sets and write result to SD?

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, this needs to be a robust application with the potential for many, many thousands of data saves. Hence my concern with EEPROM data writing/storage. I will look into using a RAM array. I have also looked at some ingenious FRAM solutions. Regards

    Is it possible to store data, then average a number of sets and write result to SD?

    Good day all. I have a data logger project recording the environment. I need to sample fairly often but I don't need to write to the SD card that often. I would like to sample every minute (possibly even more often), save that data, average the captured data for a 1 hour period and then write...

    Teensy 3.2 OLED LCD Display Help

    Good morning. It would be best if you used the "code" tags to bracket your working sketch, it does make it easier to peruse. But, what are the connections that you are using? You should have SCL connected to pin 19 and SDA connected to pin 18 with your VCC connected to the 3.3V pin at the...

    Strange problem with Teensy 3.1 I can not program "Teensy did not respond to a USB"

    1.3" i2C OLED trouble with Adafruit SSD1306 library
