Adding Touch Screens to Projects and Prototypes

🎉 Mastering Touch Interfaces with Wissam Botros: Adding Touch Screens to Projects and Prototypes 🖥️

Course Overview:

Dive into the world of touch screens and enhance your projects with intuitive user interfaces! In this comprehensive course, Wissam Botros, P.Eng, CID, will guide you through the process of integrating a Nextion touch screen with your development board, specifically focusing on the ST Nucleo-64 with 411 RE chip. Whether you're using the same setup or adapting to a different board, this course is designed for learners at all levels to grasp the concepts and apply them effectively.

What You'll Learn:

• Touch Screen Basics: Understand how touch screens work and the essential components involved.

  • GPIO Interfacing (General Purpose Input/Output)
  • Input & Output Operations
  • Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for analog control with a Nextion screen.

• Nextion Screen Utilization: Learn to leverage the Nextion's capabilities in your projects.

  • UART Communication: Master sending and receiving data over the serial interface.
  • Real Project Implementation: From controlling an LED to creating complex displays, like an animated gauge for a battery level indicator.

• Practical Application: Engage with hands-on learning through real-world projects.

  • Controlling Outputs: Learn to command outputs using the Nextion's sliders.
  • Reading Inputs: Understand how to check inputs such as power status on your board.
  • Advanced PWM Control: Discover how to control an RGB LED with precision using the touch screen.
  • MIDI Integration: Send UART instructions and data to a MIDI Shield for an ambitious project challenge.
