A fantastic video/project. I just got myself a 5” MP15001 touchscreen for my Raspberry Pi 3B + and 3A +. I was looking for extra screen info and again I found it here.
For 128x64 OLED i2c you are actually using only 32 lines in the example. You need to change the default value in the library file Adafruit_SSD1306.h to #define SSD1306_128_64 It will look much nicer :)
I would really like to see you getting the touch screen display working with your Arduino, even if it means buying a shield. I have a number of projects in mind to try to build and it would be great to eliminate the need for any other pushbuttons or keypads, just a power on/off switch. Thanks. Very informative video. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into covering such a wide variety of different displays and how to wire them, and the associated code to make them work - well, most of them, at least :D
@@daveyjones5702 Great! 😃 I didn't buy an Arduino kit yet because I'm buying stuff a bit expensive... Things to use in quadcopters and rc wings/airplane builds. 😃 I still need a 3d printer too... But, eventually, I get there. 😊
You could of course also do a whole video on the many ways to use addressable LEDs, the tapes, the individual chips and matrix modules. Tape and chips can be arranged to fit in many patterns and enable different usage styles. Power is the big gotcha always, and logic level conversion if board or SBC is 3.3v instead of 5v
128x64 oled display only displays 1st row whatever the cursor value and shows like snow on bottom full 7 rows How to get it work properly, it was like that when i brought, i thought my codes are incorrect, then i uploaded library example program, the same problem again
The OLEDs are my favorite too. The SPI version is much faster, but requires control of an extra pin in addition to the 3 SPI, reset. You can buy mini 4-digit 7-seg displays for $0.20/ea on Ali, but those 12 control wires + 8 resistors generate a rat's nest. A little painful to control, as well.
I would love to use e-ink screens in my projects but they are way too expensive. For me the best one is the nokia screen. It's cheap and gets the job done.
you are right, they are too expensive. it's cheaper to buy a used e-reader and extract the display out of it. I have seen people selling e-readers with 5 inch display for like 15 dollars (used). I was wondering if someone was able to extract the screen and use it on arduino. I am just not that knowledgeable in using e-ink dispaly. if someone tried extracting e-display from a e-reader, and used it on arduino, please share the link because I want to try this project.
@@Livefreeman I don't think it's that simple. Most likely there is some proprietary communication protocol with e-reader screen. You would need a driver or a lot of reverse engineering. That said I would love to know how people do this kind of stuff.
I like the ST7920, KS0108, and ST7565 too. I really like Oliver's U8g2 library on the Arduino IDE. He covers a lot of LCD options. If you get any of the LCD's that have "MCUfriend" on them, they are Ardy1 shields. The MCUfriend library is designed for a specific pinout. This means the display is auto detected and configured when the library is added to a project. This is really cool because there are multiple brands and models supported but you don't need to know the details. Plug it in, run the test sketch and it will return all of the data you need automatically. Lastly the Hitachi HD44780 displays (1602, 2004, etc.) also come in extra large versions that are a little harder to find. They are usually around $15-$20 each but they are pretty cool if you want to build something that looks interesting and different but just uses a simple display. -Jake
Interesting stuff! I have an old Home Theater PC case from nMedia that offered an optional 16x2 display which could show all kinds of information like song titles and volume level but the screen seems to have disappeared from online stores. I downloaded the software for it from nMedia in case I would find one someday. Any idea where I could find one? Thanks
can you explain why every tutorial i watch and read use D4, D5, D6, D7? not D0, D1, D2, D3? or, do you have some documentation that I can read? your answer will be very helpful. thank you
hey. thank you. Can you please add the link for the 16x2 serial module to control the display (the one that we can use to use less wiring) Thank you for all the awesome content you create!!! :))
Don't be offended, but I expected a bit more from this video. So yes, more in depth would be appreciated. For example display speed : I bought a 3-color e-Paper display and now I know that it's only useful for rarely changing content because the repaint time is in the area of 2-3 seconds. Also energy consumption would be an interesting topic. And visibility outside an studio environment in the sun or at low light areas.
You should of discussed mounting bezels for the displays. For the display to be useful, you need to have a clean method of mounting the display on a panel or box. Not much use on a breadboard unless you're just testing the operation. I have been very disappointed in the lack of mounting hardware that's available for these nice displays and a lot of us don't have a 3D printer or CNC machine to create these parts. You can get a bezel for the Nextion displays but they are poorly designed as they don't cover the flat ribbon connector. You could cut an opening yourself, but it has to be a perfect rectangle it you want it to look professional. The 7 segment and dot matrix displays should have a tinted plastic window over the display if you want to see the display properly. The window should be part of the bezel. If you know of a source to get bezels for these displays, please let me know.
I have some questions about displays: Why e-paper display blinks? Can it change only updated area(kind of double buffering?) My nokia 5110 has weird crystals inside, so it looks horribly and covers some display area. Why? have I damaged it, or it is factory defect? I heard that screen libraries are shitty and grabs all memory resources. So I should write own libraries, and which is better?
Are you considering making a tutorial for some of the displays, but in C, C++, or assembly? I'm not quite an Arduino person.... I prefer my code to contain interrupts and as least NOPs(delays) and DO NOTHINGs as possible.
Hi! I have some devices that use the Oled 128x64, However I've noticed that some of of them are faulty (dark spaces, missing characters, etc) Do you know if this kind of display can be cleaned? or is it better to replace them?
Awsome video and cannot wait to use some of these in my projects, would like to see a detailed use of oled display showing results of relay activity e.g. relay normally open activated, temperature of room is......., on oled, house cooling fan activated on oled, heater activated on 9led etc. Thanks for sharing
How did you get your own logo as bootscreen with the adafruit library? As soon I call a bitmap in setup routine the adafruit logo shows up :/ Very informative video, my favorite is the Nokia LCD, I just love it, it's not only the price, but also the possibilities, I can show big letters and numbers but also build a menu with small letters and numbers and also print bitmaps, my first one for Arduino I got from my Nokia 3310 where I worked a long time for as I was a teenager, I had luck because that is one of the LCD's with golden contacts on it and not that stupid rubber that never works again properly after touching it once.
How do you find out how much power these screens pull? I assume those LCD displays with backlights draw a lot of current? Am I right in assuming that the smaller the screen, the lower the current consumption?
Great, oh may you please explain how to use them in parallel with another SPI module?, for example the nrf24 module. Wiring LCD is so simple but actually i am having some noise pixels, connecting the ST7920 and nrf24. Is it necessary a decoupling capacitor for LCD too?.. Your vids are awesome
Thank you for video. I have a question - I have Graphical LCD 128x64 screen. Would you please suggest me what library should I use? In my project I just need simple text print, small enough to be able to write several lines. P.S. the screen I have it has controller: ST7920 and it is of this type: HJ12864ZW. Thanks! BR, Valters
Thank you for this video. I am currently working on a data-logger with the NOKIA display and the SD-cardreader/clock shield. Have you ever combined these? I am having difficulties using these two libraries: a) and b) It appears to me that they are not working together. Any thoughts? (Used pins for the NOKIA display: Adafruit_PCD8544 display = Adafruit_PCD8544(7, 6, 5, 4, 3);)
What display would you recommend for people with low vision? I am building a things for people with disabilities who need larger letters to be able to read them. Not even large displays just like a 3 inch or so screen that could display "Volume up" for example
What a comprehensive presentation! The I2C protocol is such a powerful and simple solution to a lot of simple tasks. 👌
Whenever tft displays stay just white, it’s usually a wiring problem so make sure everything is soldered correctly and that no wires have broken
One thing you missed: For the I2C character LCDs, you don't need to use A4 and A5, you can just use the dedicated SDA and SCL pins on your Arduino.
It’s faster that way too, the analog pins will just emulate the sda and scl so will be slower than the dedicated ones
@@GurmanDhaliwal well testing with a multimeter shows they're they're the same pins with different markings

I like your custom PCBs - you should start selling them as kits.
Thanks Electronoobs. I really need this kind of video. This video answers many questions of Arduino beginners.
2:47 - A third option is to use the LCD in 4-bit mode to save pins.
He's already doing that.
@@HA7DN You're right. Looked at it on the larger PC screen and sure enough, 4-bit mode.
shift register is used and only 3 pin required for lcd.
