Arduino Analog clock with DS1307

Another experiment with Arduino based on experiment with TFT 240×320 display using driver chip ILI9341 and DS1307 real time clock module.

Turn out this can be a nice analog-clock on my desk to replace the widget analog-clock of windows 7.

240×320 2.8” TFT Display breakout using driver ILI9341

Playing around with 2.8” TFT display with driver ILI9341 from ebay. This one has SPI connection and SD card reader built-in at the back of this TFT display. I choose the display without touch-screen because I don’t need it for my next project.

But it seems I always have trouble with things from ebay: this TFT display using driver ILI9341 that accept 3v3 signal and the module doesn’t come with a level conversion chip like this LCD Shield using driver 4535.

240×320 2.8” TFT Shield driver 4535 for Arduino

For the first time having experience with arduino and TFT screen, a TFT display shield should be better than a breakout TFT display, because a shield is something that made for plug-n-play, like a usb thing, just plug it in the computer and it works right away.

That what I thought when I bought this shield.

But I was wrong.

It is the cheap TFT display you will get from ebay. There are serveral models using different drivers - mine uses LGDP4535 - that looks like the picture above.
