I was very excited when I received the product. I wanted to light it up to see the effect. The module I got is very simple to use. I can light it up by plugging it into a DC head.
This is also the better part of the smart TFT module. You can see the display as soon as the power is turned on, and the information increases immediately. You don’t have to be as panic as before when you bought a development board for debugging.
The next step is to learn how to edit the interface. Thanks to the patient guidance of TOPWAY technical support, it is said that you don’t need to write code to debug the display content, you just need to make the UI on the computer. What’s more exciting is that the smart TFT module I got this time is capacitive touch! So hurry to the official website to download the development tools. The development tools for capacitive screens need to be downloaded here:
Install it quickly. The installation steps are very simple. There is no other operation required. Just keep clicking on the next step.
After the installation is complete, open the software and the interface is as follows:
I started to create my first project. I still remember that when I just learned C language, the first thing I had to do was to say "Hello Word". Since it was my first time using it, I used the TOPWAY 5-inch smart TFT module to add a sense of ceremony, haha!
The moment to witness a miracle has arrived.
I nervously plugged in the USB cable to download (praying for success at once). As a result, Tencent Butler made a mistake. After consulting TOPWAY’s technology, I boldly clicked “allow”. Fortunately, it prompted that the download was successful (otherwise Tencent Butler might have been out of service). I disconnected the USB and nervously plugged in the power supply. Hehe, it’s not bad. The effect is as follows:
The next step is to say hello to the TOPWAY 5-inch smart module through the serial port! (Fortunately, I bought a USB to serial port cable before, which came in handy this time)
After the technical staff's guidance, SGTool will come with a serial port tool after installation. This tool saves me a lot of trouble and I started working right away.
Follow the steps below:
① Open the serial port;
② Input hello word!!;
③Click Write;
④The time has come to stare at the screen and witness the miracle!
So far, I have successfully interacted with the TOPWAY 5-inch smart TFT module for the first time! The overall experience is as follows:
1. It is very easy to use and you can use it as soon as you get the module;
2. The development cycle is very fast. It took less than half a day to make the first simple project.
3. It comes with a serial port assistant, which is very easy to use. The command prefix and suffix are already written. You only need to fill in the content to be entered;
4. The display effect is also great, and it is basically close to the effect in the computer SGTools;
thank TOPWAY for providing the 5-inch smart TFT module, and thank TOPWAY's technical support for the patient guidance!
