Thank.

Hi,

It looks like the TFT LCD modue listens on the serial port for command strings. You should be able to send the command string in parts to the display.

Based on the MakeBlock example:
Serial.println(“DS64(80,30,‘2015-05-20’,1);”);// display 2015-05-20 with 64 dot matrix at the position of coordinate (80, 30)

I think something like this should work:

int Year = 2015;
Serial.print (“DS64(80,30,’”);
Serial.print (Year);
Serial.println("-05-20’,1);");

The Year variable holds the number. Note that only the last print statement ends with ‘ln’ to terminate the command.

I don’t own the MakeBlock TFT LCD module, so I can’t verify if it works. So please share the result.
