Features

• Dimensions: check the datasheet
• Resolution: 1024×600 pixels
• Touchscreen: capacitive
• Compatibility: NanoPi2

What it is for

The TFT display Friendly X710 is ideal for projects requiring an interactive high-resolution user interface. It can be used to create digital clocks with customized screens for hours, minutes, and seconds, or to build user interfaces for NanoPi2-based electronic devices.

Tutorial: How to use Friendly X710 LCD with Capacitive Touch

This LCD display offers high resolution and capacitive touch for user interface projects. Ideal for beginner and intermediate makers.

What you need

• Friendly X710 LCD with Capacitive Touch
• Arduino Nano
• FPC Cable (if not present on the display)
• Pull-up Resistor

Steps

1. 1. Check if the display already has an FPC cable. If not, connect the FPC cable to the display.
2. 2. Connect the display to the NanoPi2 via the FPC cable.
3. 3. Connect the pull-up resistor to the VCC pin of the display and to GND.
4. 4. Load the provided Arduino code onto the Nano.
5. 5. Verify the display specifications in the datasheet.
6. 6. Test the capacitive touch with a simple sketch.
7. 7. Add a user interface based on screens.
8. 8. Verify the stability of the display and touch.

Example code

```
#include <TFT_Touch.h>

TFT_Touch tft;

void setup() {
  tft.begin();
}

void loop() {
  if (tft.touched()) {
    Serial.println("Touch detected!");
  }
}
```

Mini project

Create a digital clock with different screens for hours, minutes, and seconds.

Common mistakes

• Connect the FPC cable correctly.
• Verify the pull-up resistor.
• Load the code correctly.
• Check the stability of the touch.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Nano
• FPC Cable
• Pull-up Resistor
