I have fixed a few bugs in the new How-To.

All the code is now verified to work as it is supposed to.

UTFT v1.1 is available for download.

Changes:
• added support for more display modules (including the 3.2WD module)
• added support for String objects to print()
• fixed a bug in printNumF()
• added optional minimum length and filler character to pintNumI() and printNumF()
• added option to disable unneeded controller chip code to minimize memory use

UTFT v1.2 is available for download.

Changes:
• added support for more display modules (4.3" and 5.0" displays coming soon from ITead Studio)
• added getDisplayXSize() and getDisplayYSize()

And a short message to Knut from Germany: The email address you supplied seems to be incorrect, so I am unable to reply to your email.

A couple of updates today.

Updated UTFT to v1.3:
• added support for more display modules
• fixed a bug in the ITDB02-25H init

Updated tinyFAT to v3.0:
• added Arduino 1.0 support
• rewritten all the low-level functions
• fixed a bug making it possible to read past the first 32MB

Added UTFT_tinyFAT v1.0 which means that ITDB02_tinyFAT and ITDB02_tinyFAT16 has been discontinued as of today.

It has been a long time since the last update but I am still alive.

Due to some unfortunate event this summer and autumn I have had to prioritize my time and money differently, so I have not had too much time for this hobby. The time I have had has mostly been spent on answering emails from you.
Because of these events I am also completely dependent on your donations if I am to buy any new hardware.

But I have still found some time for programming and this has resulted in a new library which I have decided I will run a limited public beta for.
The new library is called UTouch and is intended to replace ITDB02_Touch and CK_ITDB02_Touch. It has been made to complement UTFT like the old libraries complemented the ITDB02_Graph series of libraries.

To be part of the beta testing please apply HERE. Applications will have to be submitted before 10th november 2012. If I get many applications I may have to stop taking applications earlier.

I am no longer taking applications for the UTouch beta test. I wish to thank those who applied, and I will be contacting you shortly.

My ISP is experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment. They are working to resolve the issues, but the site may go up and down a bit while they are working.

Today finally sees the release of the long awaited UTouch library which replaces the old ITDB02_Touch and CK_ITDB02_Touch libraries.
UTouch has been tested to work with all the touch screen modules currently officially supported by UTFT.

Because all the old ITDB02-series of libraries have been replaced by the U-series I have now permanently removed all the old libraries. As of today I will not provide any support for the old libraries at all.

To everyone asking about UTFT and Arduino Due:
I will most likely add support for the Arduino Due, but to do so requires me to have an Arduino Due for testing. As I cannot afford to buy one at the moment you will have to wait until I can afford it (or someone donates one :) ).

Project: ITDB02 Analog Clock has been re...

Project: ITDB02 Analog Clock has been replaced with the updated version Project: UTFT Analog Clock. It is basically the same except that it has been updated to use the newer libraries and this version also has a serial mode to set the clock.

As the currect version of ITeads ITDB02 Mega shield no longer has an on-board DS1307 I highly recommend that you take a look at the Arduino Mega / Chipkit MAX32 Screw Shield with TFT and RTC from AquaLEDsource for a "easy-to-use" shield for this project. Links to their English and Portuguese webshops can also be found on the Links page.

UTFT v2.0 has been released. Please see the library page for a full list of what has been done.
The most important updates are support for Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Due, optimized transfer speed for 16bit displays and support for more display modules.

There are also some new pin-maps available under Resources - Pinmaps - Arduino.

A new, little library was born today.

relay8 is a simple library for controlling relay-boards. The library supports boards with anywhere from 1 to 8 relays. Both Arduino and chipKit is supported.

LCD5110_Basic and LCD5110_Graph have both been updated to v2.0 today.

The libraries now work with Arduino 1.0 and higher.
I have also added setContrast(); as there have been multiple requests for such a function.

The libraries have also been unified so both libraries support both Arduino (including Leonardo and Due) and chipKit in a single download. CK_LCD5110_Basic and CK_LCD5110_Graph have been discontinued.

As of this update I have decided to switch from the old GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 to Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0). This change is simply because I feel that the CC license is much easier to understand. I will use the CC license for all new and updated libraries from now until further notice.

UTFT has been updated to v2.1

Support for Electronics Lees 3.2" TFT shield Rev B has been added, in addition to some minor bug-fixes.

UTFT now also has built-in support for using display shields designed for Arduino Uno (and compatible) on Arduino Megas. Please see the manual for more information.

The license has been changed to Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) from the old GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1.

I have added a couple of calculators today. The first ones out are a LED Resistor Calculator and a PCB Trace Width Calculator.
You can find them under Resources - Calculators.

If there are other calculators you would like to see added, please let me know and I'll see what I can do...

One more calculator has been added. This time it is a Resistor Voltage Divider Calculator.

Two more calculators today.

RGB565 Calculator: This will calculate RGB565 values for use with UTFT from either RGB, HSL, CMYK or HEX values.

555 Monostable Calculator: This will calculate the resistor/capacitor combination that will give a pulse as close as possible to a desired time.

A new version of UTFT has been released.

New in v2.2:
• added support for ElecFreaks TFT01-5.0 and TFT01-7.0
• added support for chipKit uC32 (Thanks to Vladimir for donating one)
• restructured files slightly

Several libraries have been updated today:

UTFT v2.3:
• added support for transparent text background
• fixed a bug in printNumF()

LCD5110_Basic v2.1 and LCD5110_Graph v2.1:
• modified printNumI() and printNumF()
• added support for String objects to print()
• added support for chipKit uC32

Finally MGLCD and CK_MGLCD have been merged into MGLCD v2.0:
• combined Arduino and chipKit libraries into a single library
• updated library to support Arduino v1.0 (and higher)
• fixed a bug that prohibited compiling with newer IDEs
• added support for Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Due and chipKit uC32
• modified printNumI() and printNumF()
• added support for String objects to print()
• changed license to CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

UTFT v2.4 has been released.

New in this version:
• added basic support for multiple display modules from Coldtears

Basic support means that the normal UTFT functions will be supported but the on-board Font and Icons flash chip is not. It is my understanding that Coldtears Electronics will make an add-on library that will add these functions.
