This library is the continuation of Henning’s ITDB02_Graph, ITDB02_Graph16 and RGB_GLCD libraries for Arduino and chipKit. As the number of supported display modules and controllers started to increase , Henning now make a single, universal library as it will be much easier to maintain in the future.
Now the new UTFT library will support a number of 8bit, 16bit and serial graphic displays, and will work with both Arduino and chipKit boards.The library works great with the ITDB02 series of display modules : ITDB02-1.8SP, ITDB02-2.2SP, ITDB02-2.2, ITDB02-2.4D,ITDB02-2.8, ITDB02-3.2S.
And the future version will also support ITDB02-2.5, ITDB02-3.2WD, ITDB02-4.3 and ITDB02-5.0. Now Henning is testing its compatibility of ITDB02-4.3 and ITDB02-5.0, soon you will see these 2 large TFT module in stock, and we hope the UTFT can support them as well at that time : )
“The Uzebox is a retro-minimalist 8-bit open source game console. It is based on an AVR 8-bit general purpose microcontroller made by Atmel. The particularity of the system is that it uses an interrupt driven kernel and has no frame buffer. Functions such as video signal generation, tile rendering and music mixing is done in realtime by a background task so your game can easily be developed in C. The design goal was to be as simple as possible yet have good enough sound and graphics to implement interesting games. Emphasis was put on making it easy and fun to assemble and program for any hobbyists. The final design contains only two chips: an ATmega644 and an AD725 RGB-to-NTSC converter.”
Now we cooperate with Alec to promote this Uzebox project. We provide the Uzebox Full KIT for who want to build their own on a budget. If you just want to spend your time on the software/game developing, but not in the hardware soldering, we also can offer you the assembled Uzebox board. No matter the Kits or the assembled board, will come with 2 SNES controllers (clone).
We receive many mails that asking how we make the PCB prototyping and why we cost such low price. We have a post of talking about how we make the cost down – “Ultra-low Cost PCB Prototyping Service Update” , here we will show you the video for more about the process.
Now all factories and logistics are closed for Spring Festival break, so ITEAD Studio will suspend shipping from Jan.19th until Jan.30th. All order during these days will be processed and shipped until Jan.31st. At usual , we just need 1-2 days to process a order and ship the package out, but after the holiday, maybe we need 3-4 days to process your orders because of there should be many backlog orders.
Here we offer a New Year Discount for our long holiday, you can save 11% of your total cost by using this coupon code (5444b85392) when you check out on iStore.
We get some feedbacks of IComsat, many clients complain that it can not be power on by software but need to press the “Power” button. In this new version, we upgrade this software power on function with IComsat now. Not only can use the button for power on , but also can use the digital pin of Arduino to power on (D9) and reset (D10) the SIM900 module.
In order to facilitate the development of voice, we add two 3.5mm jack socket on board for MIC and Headset.
