2.4 tft lcd shield arduino mega 2560 code factory

Some of you may have purchased this LCD Screen or thinking of getting one. Its a great screen for displaying images and graphics. I purchased mine for displaying sensor data from my 10 sensors on my robot via xbee (telemetry). I bought it not only out of impulse as it was very cheap but also that it was the biggest screen i could find cheaply in Australia. ($15).
Adafruit GFX graphics core Arduino library, this is the "core" class that all our other graphics libraries derive from - GitHub - adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library: Adafruit GFX graphics core A...
This will allow you to use the screen on the arduino MEGA. In terms of the connections from the screen to the mega, just plug it in like a shield the same way as you do when connecting it to the UNO.

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is 2.4" diagonal and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional capacitive touch panel and 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.

Voltage type: 5v or 3v voltage input voltage,input is selectable. Because TFT can only work under 3.3 V voltage, so when the input voltage VIN is 5V, need through the 3.3 V voltage regulator IC step down to 3.3V , when the input voltage of 3.3 V, you need to use the zero resistance make J2 short , is equivalent to not through the voltage regulator IC for module and power supply directly.

Before using LCD, please Download library from:https://osoyoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Install-libraries.rar, unzip the file and move the library folder to Arduino IDE library sub folder.

The 2.4 ” tft lcd touch screen shield for Arduino can be used in a number of applications. However many of the shields available on the market are cloned versions which usually give many hobbyists hard time to use because they do not work properly with the common libraries for running TFT displays.
If you try uploading any of the examples in the Adafruit_GFX library for example the “graphicstest”, the lcd will just give a white screen. Nothing is displayed on the screen!
This problem is mainly due to using a newer version of the Adafruit GFX library. The 1.5.4 release of the Adafruit_GFX library broke compatibility with the Adafruit_TFTLCD library. So you have to roll back to Adafruit_GFX 1.5.3:
Another problem you may encounter with this tft lcd shield is the poor fuctioning of the touch screen. You may find the stylus pen is not well aligned with the content you are writing on the screen.
This is due to a bug in the TouchScreen library therefore you need to locate this library by following the path to where all the libraries for your Arduino IDE are stored.
First change it to return TSPoint(1023-x, 1023-y, z). Save the changes and then compile your code again and upload to check if the touch fuction is fine.
You can keep on adjusting the values of before x and y until you get an ideal point that works best for your tft lcd. Mine worked fine with return TSPoint(x, 1105-y, z)
Due to the limited processing power of the microprocessor in the Arduino, we need to store images in bmp format and they should be 320×240 pixels sizes.

Even on ebay"s website it is mentioned that I can"t use 2.4" TFT LCD Shield display on attach to Arduino Mega. The problem is that I bought this shield by mistake. I want to put this shield onto Arduino Mega 2560. Is there a way to combine Mega and 2.4" Display Shield?

This is a 2.8” TFT Resistive Touchscreen Display. The module, with a resolution of 320x240, adopts ILI9341 as driver IC and SPI (4-line) communication mode. The board integrates touch chip XPT2046, which converts the touch data collected by the AD to SPI data. The module also integrates an SD card slot allowing you to easily read the full-color bitmap. There are two modes of wiring supplied, normal pin header wiring and GDI. The latter one requires to work with a main controller board with a GDI interface (e.g. FireBeetle-M0). You can use it with only one FPC line plugging in, which reduces the complexity of the wiring. Furthermore, it features high resolution, wide viewing angle, and simple wiring, which can be used in all sorts of display applications, such as, IoT controlling device, game console, desktop event notifier, touch interface, etc.
