Mysensors TFT LCD Display



  • Overview

    This is my project to add TFT LCD 1.8" color display to my home automation.
    I use TFT LCD 1.8" Full Color 128x120 SPI Display module compatible with Adafruit ST7735 Driver.
    Since Mysensors Radio also uses SPI, I connect the display using "any pin" method, it is slower than SPI but it will not interfere with the radio.

    WiringThings Up

    Start by connecting the radio module.

    Required libraries

    Adafruit ST7735 Library
    Adafruit GFX Library If you want to display bitmap images.

    Example

    This example will:

    • Request the current date and time from the controler when power on/reset.
    • Use "display mask" to only update parts of display to improve performance.
    • Update display every minute.
    • It uses Arduino Time library to manipulate date and time.
    • It display message sent by your controller.
    /***************************************************
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
