Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit integrates an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller with an LCD TFT screen (ILI9488 HD), a 4-channel relay module, and a 5V power supply (battery). The Arduino Mega 2560 controls the LCD display to show interactive buttons and manages the state of the relays based on user input on the touchscreen. The relays can be toggled on and off to control external devices or circuits. The 5V battery provides power to the entire circuit.

The code provided is an Arduino sketch that initializes the ILI9488 TFT LCD display and the 4-channel relay module. It sets up a simple graphical user interface with buttons on the display that, when pressed, toggle the state of the corresponding relay. The touch screen is used to detect button presses, and the relay states are updated accordingly. The code includes functions for drawing the buttons on the display and handling the touch events.
