2.8 tft lcd shield adafruit manufacturer

Spice up your Arduino project with a touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.8″ diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240×320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

This is the newest version from Adafruit – it has been updated from their original v1 shield to an SPI display – its a tiny bit slower but uses a lot less pins and is now much easier to use with Mega & Leonardo. Adafruit also includes an SPI touchscreen controller so you only need one additional pin to add a high quality touchscreen controller. This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller.

The shield ships fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no soldering! Simply plug it in and load up the Arduino Library Adafruit provides (see links below). It will be up and running in under 10 minutes! The shield works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila). Solder three jumpers and you can use it at full speed on a Leonardo or Mega as well.
