A 1.8 inch TFT color display (HY-1.8 SPI) and an Arduino

To give our Arduino the chance to tell sometimes what’s actually going on and do not always use the serial monitor, it is time to buy him a small display. Fortunately, there is a wide range of available shields and breakout boards. In this case, we use a 1.8 inch TFT color display with 128×160 pixels (HY-1.8 SPI, the name on the board), equipped with an SPI interface, which gives us the opportunity compared to displays with parallel interface, to have more free ports for other applications available.

Nokia 5110 LCD, an Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V with 8MHz clock frequency

As a quasi-nostalgic relic of an almost extinct generation of cell phones we use today, the Nokia 5110 LCD screen from the cellular phone with the same name, kindly as a breakout board for a small budget. Because the display operates at 3.3V, we use it together with a 8MHz clocked Arduino Pro Mini, which also runs at 3.3V.

Briefly introduced: 1.8 inch TFT color display with SPI interface (HY-1.8 SPI) and SD card support

In order not to have to spend more information on the serial monitor, it is recommended to connect a display. The presented 1.8-inch TFT color display with SPI interface can help here. It has 128×160 pixels and needs in the minimum case, only 4 ports.

Briefly introduced: Nokia 5110 Monochrome LCD module with 84×48 pixels

The LCD display which was originally used in the Nokia 5110 has indeed found a long time ago the way to a breakout board, but it is still simple useful for various microcontroller boards, because it can be relatively easily controlled and programmed.
