mcufriend 2.8 tft lcd shield factory

I have bought "MCUFRIEND" 2.8 tft touch lcd and controller printed on it shows "ILI9338". Example given in this library are not working except for the basic one and it don"t even work with touch examples. After searching on google found out that "MCUFRIEND_kbv" library for debug. When i run "diagnose_tft_support" it shows following output. Also added "Read reg" after first output. Please Help !!!

I found the TFT screen and Uno on Banggood.com about a month ago and over the weekend I was messing with the pair and found the tftbmp draw code in the demo.. I extended it with the ability to read any bmp file on the SD card.. so all you do is put your bitmaps on the SD and plug it in.. Having to add/edit/recompile/reload the Uno everytime is BS... Here is my code:

This is Sainsmart 2.8 inch TFT LCD module with the TFT LCD shield kit For arduino enthusiasts.It includes one pcs of 2.8 inch TFT LCD display and a TFT LCD shield for arduino mega2560(R3).We will provided you the whole document including the example project of arduino mega2560(R3) with the kit. We will supply you the technical support after your purchase.

SainSmart 2.8" TFT LCD Display is a LCD touch screen module. It has 40pins interface and SD card and Flash reader design. It is a powerful and mutilfunctional module for your project.The Screen include a controller ILI9325, it"s a support 8/16bit data interface , easy to drive by many MCU like arduino families,STM32 ,AVR and 8051. It is designed with a touch controller in it . The touch IC is XPT2046 , and touch interface is included in the 40 pins breakout. It is the version of product only with touch screen and touch controller.

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.

This is Sainsmart TFT LCD Extend shield for arduino mega2560(R3) .Using this shield can help you out of the bothers to use other cables. You just need to plug the module to arduino mega2560(R3)  through this shield.

The following just shows how does the TFT LCD shield work with arduino Mega2560 R3 and 2.8 inch LCD display,but the package just includes the TFT LCD Extend shield and 2.8 Inch LCD display.The package does not include the arduino mega2560 R3.

2,The LCD is compatible for arduino due and mega2560(R3),but the Shield is just for the arduino mega2560(R3).If you need the LCD Extend shield for arduino Due,you need a similar shield which is also provided from our store.

Se trata de una Pantalla LCD TFT 2.8 táctil, diseñada para Arduino, con slot de memoria micro-SD. Esta Pantalla permite escribir texto y dibujar figuras de manera sencilla con la libreria TFT. Ademas, tiene una ranura para tarjeta de memoria micro-SD en su parte posterior, en la cual se puede almacenar imagenes, para mostrar en la pantalla. ITDB02 es una serie de modulos de pantalla TFT LCD, incluye el Touch, la tarjeta SD y el diseño Flash.

ITDB02-2.8 utiliza el controlador ILI9325DS, el cual es compatible con una interfaz de datos de 8 bits y además es sencillo de manejar por muchos MCU como STM32, AVR y 8051. Por otro lado, ITDB02-2.8 esta diseñado con el controlador táctil IC TSC2046. Para utilizar una tarjeta SD que se introduzca en la pantalla se requiere de comunación SPI. Todos los pines necesarios para la comunicación SPI y el uso de las capacidades táctiles vienen incluidos en la distribución de 40 pines de la pantalla.

there are (now) a lot of 2.8" TFT Pi designs out there. I believe mine was the first, and has been around in one form or another for over a year now. I offer full support on this forum, and here is the support thread :

2)When EOL happens,usually we will get notification from original manufacturer 3-6 months in advance. We prepare another LCD brand solution as replacement for you or recommend you to do last buy if your annual quantity is small or even tool up a new LCD panel if your annual quantity is big.

Can this 2.8" elegoo display play video at all? I"m trying to make a unit that an older woman, in her 80"s can play a video on it, if I set it up correctly? This is for a really good cause, I desperately need help, this is super important. Helping elderly folks with modern technology is tough. But I really need it to be able to play a video off the SD card if possible. Any help would be super highly appreciated.ReplyUpvote

Hello,please post our code also ..the screen driver must be known and that info must be known in order to get these things to work correctly..you show your code and then the vid blurs..Someone needs to write a pdf teaching how ,what ,when and why concerning these screens I would gladly pay $10.00 and I am sure others would too.I have 3 different tftlcds only 1 works its for the mega and Bomer has a lib for it,I am really considering use of Nextion units from now on 4 pins easy programming but higher cost...also the small cell phone screens use spi mode and are real easy to set up and use

The program runs and nothing is displayed but a white screen. when I open the COM4 I see that when I hit the screen numbers appear to calibrate the screens position so it is registering but not showing up on the LCD. please help me before I pull all my hair out.1

I"m having issues getting this display to work on my Arduino 101 board with the libraries that are suggested - errors in compiling seem to indicate that the board type isn"t supported in the Adafruit_TFTLCD library. Here"s a representative error:

I finally got the touchscreen to work correct using your links to the libraries. Found out that this specific TFT display module uses pin 6 & 7 for touch sensor, instead of the standard 4 & 5.0

I never received a response on this, so went through the painful process of copying code from the video. It can be found here for others that might need it. Not that this has some minor changes, but is fully functional and I will continue to refine: https://github.com/siliconghost/Arduino_2.8in_TFT_wSD
