This display can be mounted on an Arduino Mega or Due. It has a fairly high resolution of 320*480 pixels and is also quite large with 3.5 inch LCD size.
The display is already equipped with level converters and therefore ready to use on an Arduino Mega/Due.
The screen has an ILI9486 chip that controls the LCD screen and also has a standard SD card reader built in. (Eg to store images or text)
Specifications:
Screen size: 3.5 inches
Resolution: 320*480 pixels
Type of LCD: TFT
LCD Driver IC: ILI9486
Interface: 16-bit parallel interface
PCB dimensions: 96.6 x 60.3mm
LCD dimensions(total): 85 x 56 x 3mm
LCD dimensions(visible display): 73.5 x 49mm
Voltage: 4.5-5.5V DC
IO voltage: 3.3-5V (with level converter converted to 3.3V for the display)
Power consumption: approx. 150mA
Pinout: see images
To get the display working you can use the UTFT library.
After installation, open this example for the Arduino Mega:
UTFT --> Arduino (AVR) --> UTFT_Demo_480x320
Or this example for the Arduino Due:
UTFT --> Arduino (ARM) + Teensy --> UTFT_Demo_480x320
Once the example has been opened, some adjustments are needed to get the "UTFT_Demo_480x320" example working:
This line:
UTFT myGLCD (CTE32HR, 38,39,40,41);
Needs to be changed to this:
UTFT myGLCD (ILI9486,38,39,40,41);
Next you can use the example to test your LCD screen and use the demo as the basis for your own program.
