5" LCD

Post by Daytun Unitt »

HI all, I am looking for a 5" LCD panel or larger, up to 7" that works reliably with flowcode 8 and the uno platform.
I need 8 pins unused on the uno to include A0 and A1, the others do not matter.
Does anyone know a decent, reliable and cheap LCD that fits this?

Thanks

Hi

Whilst I don't know much about Arduino (should really take the time though) I'm perhaps not best placed to answer, but a quick google pulled up some info on an Arduino forum. It gave details of 5" displays and also suggested that the Uno wasn't best suited to driving such.

This may be of help to you

Hi Daytun Unitt

Did you check the list of displays in FC8 Menu->Displays->GLCD Base?
And if you did (glcd_ssd1963 thread) why do you ask again?

Hi

I used a STM32F469 Disco Board complet with 4" touchscreen.
It was a good price, less than 60 euro and comfortable to use with Flowcode. The Arduino standard connectors are there an still free to use.

MIPI DSI interface and capacitive touch screen

I asked specifically if anyone knows of a make and model as the thread you referenced clearly states that it only works with some makes/models. not all with that driver.
