adafruit 2.8 tft lcd quotation

With four bright white LED backlight and 240 x 320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this colour 2.8in. TFT display features a resistive touchscreen for fingertip detection across the entire screen surface. The workload is lifted from the microcontroller by a built-in controller equipped with RAM buffering, and the display board has two modes: 8-bit and SPI.

Add some sizzle to your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection and a capacitive touchscreen. This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. It has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display. As a bonus, this display has a capacitive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

The Adafruit 2.8in. TFT LCD Touchscreen Display brings QVGA graphics to your next project using only 5 x SPI pins or 12 x GPIO pins if you can spare them. The screen is bright with a 4-LED backlight and can display 18-bits of colour (262,000 colours). There"s a display controller built in so your microcontroller doesn"t need to get involved in refreshing the screen, it just has to write the pixels once then it can move on to other tasks. SPI mode uses less pins but is slower while 8-bit mode uses more pins and is faster, the choice is up to you. Adafruit have software and tutorials to support you whichever mode you decide to use, see the links below. The board also has a micro-SD card socket that you can use to store files and images.

Visit https://learn.adafruit.com where Adafruit provide a free tutorial for the Raspberry Pi, and another tutorial for the Arduino. They also have an open source library to drive the display in 8-bit mode, and another to use SPI mode. Please note that while the screen is capable of 18-bit colour, the Adafruit code uses 16-bits for efficiency. It"s highly unlikely that you"ll ever notice any difference.

The 2.8" Resistive Touchscreen by Adafruit comes in the form of a shield to help you set up your Arduino projects. It has a high-quality display for immediately viewing your data: images, e-mails, text messages and information of a more technical nature are all perfectly legible!

The shield has a pleasant-sized TFT screen (2.8” diagonal) offering a vast choice of colours with 262,000 shades available in 18-bit mode and a great brightness thanks to a backlight with 4 white LEDs, which can be controlled with a digital pin connection.

In this case, the TFT resistive touchscreen proposed by Adafruit is a true plug-and-play screen; already assembled and tested, it’s ready for use in just 10 minutes after downloading an Arduino code library.

Just wanted to put a note on here for anyone trying to connect the Adafruit 2.8" TFT Resistive Touch Shield to a Photon, through a Particle Shield Shield. I couldn’t get it to work, then figured this out and thought I’d share the knowledge…

The TFT shield is hardwired to use the default hardware SPI pins for Arduino, but on the Shield Shield, these pins actually map to Particle’s SPI1, not SPI (there are two SPI ports on the Particle…I’ve read there is perhaps a third?).

This will have your Particle talking to the correct pins of the TFT shield, through the Shield Shield. And of course, if coming from Arduino, you will need to do the other typical porting changes covered in this and other threads.
