TFT DISPLAY FOR ARDUINO
This app converts your Androd device into a 320x240 TFT Display for Arduino using the USB port, it emulates the ILI9341 SOC driver for the TFT liquid crystal display. TFT Display for Arduino receives the data that come from the Arduino, then interprets this data and displays it to the Android screen.
In order to use this app it's required that the Arduino board implements a library that can be downloaded from this site, this library is based on ILI9341_due library. NOTICE: THIS APP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE GOOGLE PLAY, IF YOU WANT A COPY OF THE APP CONTACT THE DEVELOPER.

UNDERSTANDING THE ARDUINO LIBRARY
As mentioned before, this app is based in ILI9341_due library, so almost all the functions are the same, you can check all the functions and examples from the ILI9341_due web page (http://marekburiak.github.io/ILI9341_due/ )
You can download the color list down below in the downloads section.

LIMITATIONS
One of the limitations of the app is that the setFont() function only supports this fonts:
Arial_bold_14, Arial14, Segment and Segmentx2.
Other type of limitations are the functions that are not supported by the AndroidDisplay Arduino Library, those functions are:
Arial_bold_14, Arial14, Segment and Segmentx2.
Other type of limitations are the functions that are not supported by the AndroidDisplay Arduino Library, those functions are:
- readPixel
- sleep
- setPowerLevel
- setSPIClockDivider
- getFontHeight
- getCharWidth
- getTextColor
- getTextBackgroundColor
- getTextLetterSpacing
- getTextLineSpacing
- getFontMode
- getTextSCale
- screenshotToConsole
- getDisplayStatus
HOW TO RUN IT
In order to use the TFT Display for Arduino in your Android device, do the following steps:
- Download the AndroidDisplay Arduino Library.
- Open the Arduino IDE.
- Add the library to the Arduino IDE.
- Create a new sketch using the "#include "AndroidDisplay.h"" line, or open an existing example.
- Upload the sketch to the Arduino board.
- Connect the Arduino board to your Android device by using a USB OTG cable.
- Open the Arduino Display when a pop-up message appears asking which app to open. IMPORTANT: The connection between Arduino and Android will not work if you ignore the pop-up message. In case that the app doesn't connect to Arduino, unplug and plug the Arduino board again and try to open it by tapping the app in the pop-up message.
- Once the app is open, wait 3 seconds until the connection is established.
- The connection is established once the massage "Connected to Arduino at 38400 baud" appear.
