•1.8"" diagonal TFT display with 128x 160 colour pixels can display full 18-bit colour• Ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator & a 3/5V level shifter built in so its safe to use with 5V Arduinos• Micro SD card holder
- you can easily load full colour bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted micro SD card (not included)•5 way navigation switch
- up, down, left, right, select• If you'd like to add the navigation switch, it uses Analog 3•2 white LED backlight, transistor connected• Defaults to 'on' but can be connected to a digital pin for PWM or simply turning off• Comes with header, requires soldering!• Click here to see the detailed tutorial guide• To see the Controller/ Driver datasheet please click here• To see the Display datasheet please click here This lovely little shield is the best way to add a small, colourful & bright display to any project. We took our popular 1.8" TFT breakout board & remixed it into an Arduino shield complete with micro SD card slot & a 5-way joystick navigation switch (with a nice plastic knob)! Since the display uses only 4 pins to communicate & has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used easily to add a display & interface without exhausting the memory or pins. The 1.8" display has 128x 160 colour pixels. Unlike the low cost " Nokia 6110" & similar LCD displays, which are CSTN type & thus have poor colour & slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver (ST7735R) can display full 18-bit colour (262, 144 shades!). & the LCD will always come with the same driver chip so there's no worries that your code will not work from one to the other. The shield has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as a ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator & a 3/5V level shifter so its safe to use with 5V Arduinos. We also had some space left over so we placed a micro SD card holder (so you can easily load full colour bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted micro SD card) & a 5-way navigation switch (left, right, up, down, select). If you just want to display text, shapes, lines, pixels, etc the shield uses pins 13, 11, 10 & 8. If you'd like to add the navigation switch, it uses Analogue 3 (all 5 switches are connected using a clever resistor trick to permit all the switches to share one analogue pin). For the micro SD card, you'll also give up Digital 12 & 4. Comes as a fully assembled & tested shield with the display, micro SD card holder & nav switch with knob as well as a stick of 0.1" header. To finish up & use, you will need to solder on the header onto the shield PCB, a quick 10 minute task.

• Works with 3.3V or 5V logic• Control via I2C• For chips that have 3.4 Mbps Fast Mode I2C (Arduino's don't) you can update the Vout at ~200 KHz• Has an EEPROM so it can store an output voltage• Please Click here for the Datasheet• Click here to view the detailed tutorial Your microcontroller probably has an ADC (analogue -> digital converter) but does it have a DAC (digital -> analog converter)??? Now it can! This breakout board features the easy-to-use MCP4725 12-bit DAC. Control it via I2C & send it the value you want it to output, & the VOUT pin will have it. Great for audio / analogue projects, such as when you can't use PWM but need a sine wave or adjustable bias point. We break out the ADDR pin so you can connect two of these DACs on one I2C bus, just tie the ADDR pin of one high to keep it from conflicting. Also included is a 6-pin header, for use in a breadboard. Works with both 3.3V or 5V logic. Some nice extras with this chip: for chips that have 3.4 Mbps Fast Mode I2C (Arduino's don't) you can update the Vout at ~200 KHz. There's an EEPROM so if you write the output voltage, you can 'store it' so if the device is power cycled it will restore that voltage. The output voltage is rail-to-rail & proportional to the power pin so if you run it from 3.3V, the output range is 0-3.3V. If you run it from 5V the output range is 0-5V. ...

Or maybe you want to drive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output. Then you realize that your microcontroller has a limited number of PWM outputs! What now? You could give up OR you could just get this handy PWM & Servo driver breakout. It's an i 2c-controlled PWM driver with a built in clock. That means that, unlike the TLC5940 family, you do not need to continuously send it signal tying up your microcontroller, its completely free running! It is 5V compliant, which means you can control it from a 3.3V microcontroller & still safely drive up to 6V outputs (this is good for when you want to control white or blue LEDs with 3.4+ forward voltages). 6 address select pins so you can wire up to 62 of these on a single i 2c bus, a total of 992 outputs
- that's a lot of servos or LEDs. Adjustable frequency PWM up to about 1.6 KHz. 12-bit resolution for each output
- for servos, that means about 4us resolution at 60 Hz update rate. Configurable push-pull or open-drain output. Output enable pin to quickly disable all the outputs
