Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is 2.2" 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 Controller FT6236 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.

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (7" diagonal) bright (14 white-LED backlight) and colorfu 800x480 pixels with individual pixel control. As a bonus, this display has a optional capacitive and resistive touch panel attached on screen by default.

For 7 inch screen,the high current is needed.But the current of arduino uno or arduino mega board is low, an external 5V power supply is needed. Refer to the image shows the external power supply position on shield ER-AS-RA8875.

I suspected the reset pin on the display not beeing initialized properly, also I noticed the screen had to be powered with 5 volds(having his own 3v regulator)

The SERCOM on the Zero is limited to 12MHz for SPI. SPI is 8MHz on a Uno. Although the SPI on an AVR is fairly primitive, the Arduino Uno core optimises fairly well.
The LCDWIKI"s basic demo file that doesn"t use any libraries works, but all other files fail to compile for a zero. They compile fine for a UNO, but for a zero, the LCDWIKI_SPI file throws so many errors...
I have not tried LCDWIKI on a Zero. I suspect that it would use the crap Zero core SPI library. It will probably be slower than Adafruit. And definitely inconvenient to use badly-spelled methods.
One thing I noticed is that in all the examples I looked at, the touchscreen and LCD display use different SPI connections. Why? I thought SPI was to be shared MOSI, MISO, SCK, and each device needs a CS pin.

Amateur Radio Single Sideband Transceiver Controller for Arduino and SI5351 Clock generator. Includes Dual VFO, single or double band support for 20 and 40 meter bands, CAT control, optional S-meter, multiple supported displays including options include 20x4 LCD, Color TFT, and 2.8" Nextion Touch Screen

By these two functions, You can find out the resolution of the display. Just add them to the code and put the outputs in a uint16_t variable. Then read it from the Serial port by Serial.println();. First add Serial.begin(9600); in setup().
