Graphical Colour 2.2” TFT LCD 220x176 ILI9225

This little 220x176 ILI9225 2.2” Graphical Colour TFT LCD is a great little module that uses a serial SPI interface to act as a functional display for a wide range of different Electronics and Arduino projects. The usability is relatively simple despite having advanced features, and the module can be controlled with just a few IO’s. It is 2.2” large, with a resolution of 220x176, with an included SD card slot for easily moving or analysing files on the go.

The LCD has a wide viewing angle, with a contrast that’s suitable for almost any typical application. The module offers an 11pin interface, but can be controlled entirely via just 5 wires – CS, RS, SCL, SDA and RST. The SD card uses a hardware SPI interface with CS, MOSI, MISO and SCK, meaning you don’t have to rely on solder pins and can instead just quickly plug in and operate it without any extra modifications.
