Easy Arduino TFT screen

Try the very cheap tft screen for arduino. No brainfuck ahead

Pictures+Library u8glib on github

It can be as low as 4 pin to connect in i2c :

If you use the 4 pin display and u8glib, the line you need to remove comment (// at the beginning) is :

U8GLIB_SSD1306_128X64 u8g(U8G_I2C_OPT_NO_ACK); // Display which does not send AC

See u8glib examples sketch.

With previous explanations the u8glib examples should work like a charm (tested on Nano)

A basic sketch to display strings array and a pin value is available. Ask contact at tmplab.org if it's not available soon on git
