Interface Description

Picture1. Module pin silkscreen image

Important Note:

1. The following pin numbers 1~20 refer to the module pin number of our company with PCB backplane. If you purchase a bare screen, please refer to the pin definition of the bare screen specification, refer to the wiring according to the signal type instead of directly Wire according to the following module pin numbers. For example: LCD_CS is 13 feet on our module, which may be x feet on different sizes of bare screen.
2. About VCC supply voltage: If you purchase a module with PCB backplane, VCC/VDD power supply needs to be connected to 5V (module has integrated ultra low dropout 5V to 3.3V circuit), if you buy a bare screen LCD screen, remember to only connect 3.3V.
3. About backlight voltage: Modules with PCB backplane are connected to 3.3V, no need to manually access. If you are buying a bare screen, the LEDA is connected to 3.0V-3.3V, and the LEDKx can be grounded.

The LCD module hardware circuit comprises three parts: LCD display control circuit, level conversion circuit, SD card control circuit.
LCD display control circuit for controlling the pins of the LCD, including control pins and data transfer pins.
Level shifting circuit for 5V/3.3V conversion, making the module compatible with 3.3V/5V power supply.
SD card control circuit is used for SD card function expansion, controlling SD card identification, reading and writing.
Touch screen control uses pin multiplexing.

working principle

1. Introduction to ST7796S Controller
The ST7796S is a single-chip controller for 262 K color TFT-LCDs. It supports a maximum resolution of 320*480 and has a GRAM of 345600 bytes. It also supports 8-bit, 9-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit parallel port data buses. It also supports 3-wire and 4-wire SPI serial ports. Since the supported resolution is relatively large and the amount of data transmitted is large, the parallel port transmission is adopted, and the transmission speed is fast. ST7796S also supports 65K, 262K, 16M RGB color display, display color is very rich, while supporting rotating display and scroll display and video playback, display in a variety of ways.
The ST7796S controller uses 16bit (RGB565) to control a pixel display, so it can display up to 65K colors per pixel. The pixel address setting is performed in the order of rows and columns, and the incrementing and decreasing direction is determined by the scanning mode. The ST7796S display method is performed by setting the address and then setting the color value.
2. Introduction to parallel port communication
The parallel port communication write mode timing is as shown below:

The timing of the parallel port communication read mode is shown in the figure below:

CSX is a chip select signal for enabling and disabling parallel port communication, active low
RESX is an external reset signal, active low
D/CX is the data or command selection signal, 1-write data or command parameters, 0-write command
WRX is a write data control signal
RDX is a read data control signal
D[X:0] is a parallel port data bit, which has four types: 8-bit, 9-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit.
When performing a write operation, on the basis of the reset, first set the data or command selection signal, then pull the chip select signal low, then input the content to be written from the host, and then pull the write data control signal low. When pulled high, data is written to the LCD control IC on the rising edge of the write control signal. Finally, the chip select signal is pulled high and a data write operation is completed.
When entering the read operation, on the basis of the reset, first pull the chip select signal low, then pull the data or command select signal high, then pull the read data control signal low, and then read the data from the LCD control IC. And then The read data control signal is pulled high, and the data is read out on the rising edge of the read data control signal. Finally, the chip select signal is pulled high, and a data read operation is completed.

Drawing points, lines, graphics, and Chinese and English character display related operations are included in the GUI code; The main function implements the application to run; Platform code varies by platform;
The key processing related code is included in the key code (the C51 platform does not have a button processing code);
The code related to the led configuration operation is included in the led code;

2. GPIO definition description
A. Arduino test program GPIO definition description
The module is plugged into the Arduino UNO and Mage2560, so it is not allowed to modify the GPIO port definition.
B. C51 test program GPIO definition description
C51 test program lcd screen GPIO definition is placed in the lcd.h file, as shown below(Take the STC12C5A60S2 microcontroller test program as an example):

Parallel pin definition needs to select the whole set of GPIO port groups, such as P0, P2, etc., so that when transferring data, the operation is convenient. Other pins can be defined as any free GPIO.
C. STM32 test program GPIO definition description
STM32 IO simulation test program lcd screen GPIO definition is placed in the lcd.h file, as shown below (to STM32F103RCT6 Test procedure as an example):

Data parallel port pin definition needs to select a complete set of GPIO port groups, such as PB, when transferring data, it is convenient to operate.
Other pins can be defined as any free GPIO.

3. Parallel port communication code implementation
A. Arduino test program parallel port communication code implementation
The relevant code is implemented in the mcu_8bit_magic.h file of the LCDWIKI_KBV library, as shown in the figure below:

Implemented 8-bit and 16-bit commands and 8-bit and 16-bit data write and read.
B. C51 test program parallel port communication code implementation

Both 8 and 16-bit commands and 8, 16-bit data write and read are implemented.

4. touch screen calibration instructions
A. Arduino test program touch screen calibration instructions
Arduino touch screen calibration needs to run the Touch Screen_Calibr program first (see the test program directory), and then calibrate according to the prompts. After the calibration is passed, the calibration parameters displayed on the screen need to be written into the corresponding test program, as shown in the following figure (using the touch_pen test program example):

B. C51 and STM32 test program touch screen calibration instructions
Since this module does not contain a dedicated touch IC, it is difficult to implement the touch function on the C51 and STM32.Therefore, the C51 and STM32 test programs do not have touch screen test items.

Common software

This set of test examples requires the display of Chinese and English, symbols and pictures, so the modulo software is used. There are two types of modulo software:
Image2Lcd and PCtoLCD2002. Here is only the setting of the modulo software for the test program.
The PCtoLCD2002 modulo software settings are as follows:
Dot matrix format select Dark code the modulo mode select the progressive mode
Take the model to choose the direction (high position first) Output number system selects hexadecimal number Custom format selection C51 format The specific setting method is as follows: http://www.lcdwiki.com/Chinese_and_English_display_modulo_settings
Image2Lcd modulo software settings are shown below:

The Image2Lcd software needs to be set to horizontal, left to right, top to bottom, and low position to the front scan mode.
