redtop's Ferduino controller

[fefegarcia1]

Think I may have an issue. I finally got round to sorting things out as I haven't really done much recently and I think I have the wrong screen. I ordered the only 3.2 wide screen that I could find with the right resolution and just realised it only has 34 pins. They are also labelled differently and 1&2 are at the same end as apposed to 1&40. I have a dupont cable so can try to mix and match the pins to see if I can get it working but it won't plug straight into the lcd shield.

I didn't know if anyone else has come across this before?

Hi!

This is the pinout used on TFT with 40 pins.

On this image you can see 7 pins not connected.

So using wires to connect the TFT on TFT shield you can use it, if the controller is compatible with UTFT.h and UTOUCH.h.

Best regards.

Ahh, I emailed the person on eBay that I bought it from and he said it wasn't compatible. I will give it a try then and see. Thanks Fernando

Fernando, for the SD reader on the TFT board, didn't you also need to change the SD card initiation speed to half instead of full in the setup tab ?

Fernando did a great job i had it up and controlling my lite in no time all the temp probes are working great this is by far the best i have seen Fernando thought of every thing

i am a little confused on Fernando's forum it says to use pin four (4) for sd select but in the sketch it says
// Pin 5 is also the chip select the SD card.
so witch is it ??

 

[redtop03]

I'm pretty sure it's pin 4, not sure about pin 5

 

[redtop03]

Pin 5 may be an optional pin if you are using something else, there's so many options that I don't understand all of it LOL

Hi!

Marc, you did a good job.

I would like to see your project in my forum.

All comments and pins selection I did thinking in my custom board.

The pinout on Ferduino Mega 2560 is a bit different as you can see here.

http://ferduino.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=104

The pins 3 - 7 are to touch, 18 - 19 to RTC, 5 to SD card.

On DIY controller by example the pin 7 is free and if you haven't a PCF8575 can use 20 - 21 to RTC. So 18 - 19 will be free.

Best regards.

Just in time I was going to set up web control but I will wait to hear what willie has to say

 

[redtop03]

I was looking at that yesterday, I'll get started on it in a few days

Hi!

Marc, you can use the new version of joyreef with Willie's code.

Here:

char *credencial = "username:password";

Instead use password should use ApiKey.

Like this:

char *credencial = "username:ApiKey";

This Apikey you'll get at joyreef.

The problem is that new functions as graphs and etc. will not work.

Best regards.
