Description

We've discontinued this version of the shield (which was expensive and difficult to make) and replaced it with a version 2: its got a better price uses way fewer pins is Mega/Leonardo compatible and has a great touchscreen controller built in. Wow! Check it out here.

Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large 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 262000 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 resistive touchscreen attached to it already so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

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/Duemilanove/Diecimila). This shield does work with the Mega Arduinos but its going to be half the speed of the Uno-type boards because of the way the Mega rearranges all the pins (there is no way to get around this!) This shield is not Leonardo-compatible

This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. The shield does require a lot of pins: 12 lines total for the display 13 total if you use the microSD card

Of course we wouldn't just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - we've written a full open source graphics library 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 are not using an Arduino-shaped microcontroller check out our 2.8" TFT breakout board which can be easily wired up to any processor the breakout board version does not have microSD holder.
