2.6 tft lcd shield arduino library made in china

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is 2.6" diagonal and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional resistive touch panel with controller XPT2046 attached by default.

The shield is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up our library - you"ll have it running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Due/Mega 2560).

This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. You can connect more sensors, buttons and LEDs.

Of course, we wouldn"t just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - we"ve written a full open source graphics library at the bottom of this page that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. We also have a touch screen library that detects x,y and z (pressure) and example code to demonstrate all of it. The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

If you"ve had a lot of Arduino DUEs go through your hands (or if you are just unlucky), chances are you’ve come across at least one that does not start-up properly.The symptom is simple: you power up the Arduino but it doesn’t appear to “boot”. Your code simply doesn"t start running.You might have noticed that resetting the board (by pressing the reset button) causes the board to start-up normally.The fix is simple,here is the solution.

I"m yet another complete newbie to the Arduino and to too many of the things involved here, finding myself lost trying to make the various libraries work with a 2.4" LCD mounted on a shield that names mcufriend.com. My particular shield is for Arduino Uno R3.

When running graphicstest, I get the serial output identifying the chip as 154, along with all the test output, but nothing happens on the lcd. I"m hoping that the code already exists to deal with 154 (as volsoft appears to have identified), but when I try to run the various libraries that everyone posts, I find that they will not compile, and when I run libraries that work with my Arduino 1.6.0 IDE environment, they don"t appear to handle the 154.

It would be incredibly helpful to me if someone could point to what lines in what libraries branch and handle operations when the "154" is detected. Among other things, I"m unclear on the difference between the ino files and the cpp/h files. I assume that "Verify" is "compile and link" but I"m so lost in this new environment I don"t have a clue where to begin when getting failures to compile, and I"m guessing my best bet would be to look at a complete environment that someone vouches works and then, rather than try to get that to work in my standard arduino ide environment, instead move the code modifications from "known working with the 154" to "known working in my IDE, "line by line if necessary. That at least gives me a starting point.

Hi. I also got this display (off ebay). I found a contact email on the mcufriend.com website, so i emailed them, and after a few exchanges i was sent a sketch called _8347uno that makes the screen go black instead of white. i count this as some progress, however im not very knowledgeable on how the code works. perhaps somebody can use it as a basis to make a library to make these work?

i looked up 8347 and found there is are controllers with that number, and i tried the UTFT set up for the HX8347A controller with no luck, but im hoping someone with more knowledge than me can figure it out.

reports 139Hex... maybe this means it is sds0139? This is a samsung driver and I unfortunately can"t find a driver for it for arduino. It is listed in the auction as having the driver available and why bother putting it on an arduino shield if it isn"t.

I have tried every library I can find out there I could find. My last attempts to get it functioning were with UTFT. I tried all the controllers listed above and numerous others. I"m hoping that someone else may have this same board and can pointing me to a working library and example. I only get a white screen and it never changes with any of the examples and libraries I have tried. the other alternative is that the unit is DOA.

I recently got a new LCD TFT Display Shield and when I try anything it only shows white! I can use the touchscreen library with no problems and can get coordinates but i can"t show anything on the display! I just tried with the ADAFRUIT library and another one called TFTLCD.

The 2.8" Arduino TFT LCD Touchscreen Module (Colour Screen) is for Arduino UNO board and Mega 2560 board or boards compatible with UNO. This module can display words, colour painting, ghaphics and pictures. This module come with a large touch screen display and build in Micro SD Card socket make it user friendly and easy to use. As a bonus, this display comes with a resistive or capacitive touchscreen attached to it , so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.
