adafruit tft lcd arduino mega brands

I just purchased a 2.8" TFT Touch Shield (PID 1651) and a metro board (PID 50) as well as an Arduino mega. The shield will not work with either of the arduinos. I have checked and set (and unset!) the #define in Adafruit_tftlcd.h and nothing changes. When I run the graphics test I get the following on the monitor :

I also have the FTDI driver installed (or it would not upload). This is on a new MacBook Pro with a fresh copy of the Arduino studio and the port/board are set correctly

Started off on the ardu-phone page, followed it to the TFT tutorial page and loaded the libraries from there. Should I delete the TFT library and only use the ILI9341 ?

8-Bit Library InstallWe have example code ready to go for use with these TFTs. It"s written for Arduino, which should be portable to any microcontroller by adapting the C++ source.

Because the Arduino (and Basic Stamp) are 5V devices, and most modern sensors, displays, flashcards, and modes are 3.3V-only, many makers find that they need to perform level ...

Arduino MEGA 2560: I want an interrupt to execute when a button push occurs on a rotary encoder. I have the code working. However, if I add a function call to Adafruit"s FT6206 library the MEGA 2560 hangs. (Evidence of this is that the Serial.println command text is cut-off mid stream of display.) Why?

No other hardware or shield is connected. The hardware set up is only the rotary encoder wired to the MEGA 2560 to demonstrate the issue in its simplest form; however, I have the same issue when the TFT display shield is installed.

Touch screengraphic LCD TFT display with a diagonal of 2.4" and a resolution of 320 x 240 px. It works with a voltage of 3.3 V and 5V, communicates through the SPI bus. In addition, there is a slot formicroSD memory cards on the board.

At some point, I needed to move from Arduino UNO to MEGA for a project including pictures sounds and some kepads, the problem was there is no library or good explanation about how to connect all the functions of this inexpensive LCD to a MEGA... So here it comes..

LiquidCrystal fork for displays based on HD44780. Uses the IOAbstraction library to work with i2c, PCF8574, MCP23017, Shift registers, Arduino pins and ports interchangably.

The most powerful and popular available library for using 7/14/16 segment display, supporting daisy chaining so you can control mass amounts from your Arduino!
