#1590
Have you gazed longingly at large TFT displays - you know what I'm talking about here, 4", 5" or 7" TFTs with up to 800x480 pixels. Then you look at your Arduino. You love your Arduino (you really do!) but there's no way it can control a display like that, one that requires 60Hz refresh and 4 MHz pixel clocking. Heck, it doesn't even have enough pins. I suppose you could move to ARM core processors with TTL display drivers built in but you've already got all these shields working and anyways you like small micros you've got.

What if I told you there was a driver chip that could fulfill those longings? A chip that can control up 800x480 displays, and heck, a resistive touchscreen as well. All you need to give up is 5 or so SPI pins. Would you even believe me? Well, sit down because this product may shock you.

The RA8875 is a powerful TFT driver chip. It is a perfect match for any chip that wants to draw on a big TFT screen but doesn't quite have the oomph (whether it be hardware or speed). Inside is 768KB of RAM, so it can buffer the display (and depending on the screen size also have double overlaying). The interface is SPI with a very basic register read/write method of communication (no strange and convoluted packets). The chip has a range of hardware-accelerated shapes such as lines, rectangles, triangles, ellipses, built in and round-rects. There is also a built in English/European font set (see the datasheet section 7-4-1 for the font table) This makes it possible to draw fast even over SPI.

The RA8875 can also handle standard 4-wire resistive touchscreens over the same SPI interface to save you pins. There's an IRQ pin that you can use to help manage touch interrupts. The touchscreen handler isn't the most precise driver we've used, so we broke out the X/Y pins so you can connect them up to something like the STMPE610 which is a very classy touchscreen controller.

On the PCB we have the main chip, level shifting so you can use safely with 3-5V logic. There is also a 3V regulator to provide clean power to the chip and the display. For the backlight, we put a constant-current booster that can provide 25mA or 50mA at up to 24V. The connector to the screen is a classic '40 pin' connector. All the 40-pin TFT's in the Adafruit shop are known to work well. There are other 40-pin displays that have different pinouts or backlight management and these may not work - they may even damage the driver or TFT if the boost converter pushes 24V into the display logic pins! For that reason, we only recommend the displays we've tested and sell here.

Each order comes with an assembled, tested RA8875 breakout and a stick of header. You'll also need to purchase a 40-pin TFT screen. We currently have 4.3", 5.0" and 7.0" screens available.

To get you started we've written a graphics library that handles the basic interfacing, drawing and reading functions. Download the Adafruit RA8875 library from github and install as described in our tutorial. Connect a 40 pin TFT to the FPC port and wire up the SPI interface to an Arduino as described in the example code. Once started you'll be able to see the graphic/text demo and then touch the screen to 'paint'. For more advanced details on what the RA8875 can do (and it can do a lot) check the data sheet.

Features
Please note! The RA8875 does not tri-state the MISO pin, it should not share that pin with any other SPI device (including an SD card reader) without the use of a 74HC125 or similar.

Great value for the money with a leveled up intentional design
Color: Black, Color: Black
This clutch is more stylish and elevated than I expected when I ordered it. The overall shape and that wave-like exterior give it a more interesting, elegant look in hand. It comes with a gold chain strap, which is honestly pretty cheap and shiny, but it’s detachable, so you’re not stuck with it. Given the weight and width of the bag, I actually think using a chain makes sense — it’s not the easiest thing to hold comfortably as a clutch for long periods. If I were going to use it regularly, I’d probably swap the chain out for something a little higher quality. The clasp is a gold flower with a small decorative jewel in the center, which adds a bit of personality and makes it feel less generic. That said, the hinge along the bottom is fully visible and would look more refined if it were finished in black or gold instead of standing out. Inside, it’s lined with a satin-like nylon material. There’s elastic on both sides that helps pull the clutch closed, which is a practical detail. It fits a large phone easily, along with the usual evening essentials. It is heavier than expected because of the metal frame, and the exterior is PU (vegan leather), so you get that structured feel. The size is also a bit larger than I anticipated. One thing to note — it doesn’t come with a dust bag or protective cover, and the surface could easily show marks if you’re not careful, so you’ll want to store it thoughtfully. The brand name (CHUNLI) is a bit different, but the design itself does a good job of elevating above that. It’s not perfect — the chain and hinge could be improved — but visually it’s interesting and feels more elevated than the price would suggest.

Excellent Party Purse
Color: Nude, Color: Nude
This is my new favorite clutch. I bought it in Nude and it looks so elegant. As can be seen in the pictures, it is very spacious. I was able to fit a phone, a small wallet and some cosmetics without any issues, and there is still room for more. I also had no issues with the open/close mechanism, which tends to be a problem with some other brands. The chain strap is removable making it a versatile piece. The chain is not adjustable. The exterior material quality as well as the inner lining seems sturdy. The only thing I was not thrilled about is the gold color of the chain and the hook. I wish it was a milder tone of gold or even rose gold. Not taking any star off since it matches the listing.

Beautiful gold hard shell clutch
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
I love this elegant hard-shell gold clutch. It comes with a chain that is easy to clip on if you prefer to wear it as a purse. It fits my phone, keys, and cards (or a small thin wallet) and even has an inside pocket. The push-to-open flower clip on top is beautiful and makes it very easy to access. The flower detail is stunning and adds a touch of glamour. This clutch is perfect for any formal night or even a casual date night.

These will change your life
Size: 7, Color: Creme Brulee Beige Leather
This is my second pair of these heels. I have always struggled to find heels that felt comfortable standing for long periods of time. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and wore these from 11 am until 10 pm without any complaints. It was a Catholic ceremony and we stood for the full 1.5 hours, plus we had photos and a standing only cocktail hour. They are extremely comfortable and classic. My foot doesn’t feel squeezed into place and the treads make it easy to walk on marble or slick floors. These are my new staple heel! Get them! Get them! Get them!
