TFT – Draik's Projects

Keepsake: Finished Product

After the project has been 3D printed, the components placed and connected, it was time to power it up, and make sure it works, before sealing it shut.

Once the components are fitted into the toolbox and frame, wires can be measured to ensure a clean fit. The wires should not be tight, nor should there be too much slack that cables are coiled into a corner.

Keepsake: Parts

There isn’t much going into the project, and I’ve miniaturized it where possible. Mainly, instead of using an Arduino Uno, I’ll use the Arduino Pro Mini microcontroller. While not entirely necessary, I’m adding a buck converter between the power source and the microcontroller.

Motorcycle Picture Frame: Programming

This has multiple parts, each contributing to the displays. The simplest being the microSD breakout board to provide the pictures for the TFT display, and the other being the RTC module providing the date and time for the OLED display. Additionally, the pictures on the microSD have to be loaded and looped for display.

Motorcycle Picture Frame: Design

Having the electronics laid out on paper, I can better determine placement for the overall design. Running cables throughout the project can be hidden inside objects, such as pillars, bleachers, platforms, stands, etc. Measure multiple times, and print once.
