Ecran tactil de 2,4" (6cm)

English version: 2.4" touch TFT LCD shield


   Am achizitionat de pe ebay un ecran grafic inclusiv partea de touch rezisitv:
   Desi pe vanzatorul indicata o pagina unde s-ar fi aflat librarii utile si sketch-uri, acestea nu au functionat, asa ca am gasit articolul A 2.4″ TFT TOUCHSCREEN SHIELD FOR ARDUINO de pe site-ul http://www.smokeandwires.co.nz/.
   Ecranul de pe shield are driver-ul ST7781 si pentru a-l face functional, cei de la Smoke and Wires au modificat libraria Adafruit-TFTLCD realizand astfel libraria SWTFT. Aceasta librarie lucreaza impreuna cu libraria Adafruit GFX, iar partea de ecran tactil lucreaza cu libraria Touch-Screen, tot de la Adafruit.
   Primul lucru care m-a deranjat este acela ca foloseste aproape toti pinii lui Arduino Uno, liber este doar A5 pe partea de analogic, iar pe digital doar D0 si D1 sunt liberi, care sunt folositi de interfata USB, de fapt. Dintre acestia, 4 sunt folositi pentru cardul SD (D10, D11, D12 si D13), deci as putea face un shield intermediar pentru a putea folosi acesti pini sau sa-i deconectez mecanic (intrerupere circuite), deoarece ma gandeam sa fac un termostat de centrala cu butoane virtuale...
   Prima data am incarcat sketch-urile din exemplele librariei modificate, facand un filmulet numit afisaj color de 2,4" cu touch rezistiv si Arduino
   Am facut si niste poze ale ecranului si a informatiilor de pe el:

   Pentru a intelege sketch-urile si librariile folosite, am inceput sa le fac mici modificari, dupa cum apare in filmuletul afisaj color de 2,4" cu touch rezistiv si Arduino (2)
   Am facut si poze:
   Ulterior, am "intors" ecranul pe "lat" si am obtinut filmuletul afisaj color de 2,4" cu touch rezistiv si Arduino (3)
   Un sketch corectat si cu un buton de stergere in dreapta este:

Variator de tensiune pentru bec cu Arduino (IV)

  Am revenit la partea de variator de tensiune pentru bec cu incandescenta (adica ac light dimmer) cu documentatia prezentata la DXARTS, de data asta cu controlul intensitatii becului alimentat la retea (230V) cu un potentiometru.

/*
AC Light Control

 Updated by Robert Twomey <rtwomey@u.washington.edu>

 Changed zero-crossing detection to look for RISING edge rather
 than falling.  (originally it was only chopping the negative half
 of the AC wave form). 

 Also changed the dim_check() to turn on the Triac, leaving it on 
 until the zero_cross_detect() turn's it off.

 Ryan McLaughlin <ryanjmclaughlin@gmail.com>

 The hardware consists of an Triac to act as an A/C switch and 
 an opto-isolator to give us a zero-crossing reference.
 The software uses two interrupts to control dimming of the light.
 The first is a hardware interrupt to detect the zero-cross of
 the AC sine wave, the second is software based and always running 
 at 1/128 of the AC wave speed. After the zero-cross is detected 
 the function check to make sure the proper dimming level has been 
 reached and the light is turned on mid-wave, only providing 
 partial current and therefore dimming our AC load.
