This 2.4 inch touch screen TFT display shield adds a touch interface to an Arduino project. It is a large touchscreen shield with a built-in micro SD card connection, and it works with any Arduino UNO and Mega compatible board.
The display is 240 x 320 with 18-bit (262,000) colour and an 8-bit digital interface plus four control lines. It is 5 V compatible, so you can use 3.3 V or 5 V logic, and an onboard 3.3 V 300 mA LDO regulator supplies the display.
The shield uses digital pins 5 to 13 and analog pins 0 to 3, so plan your other connections around these. It works from a 5 V supply, from -30 to 70 C, and measures 72 x 52 x 12 mm. A stylus pen is included.
Install the appropriate graphics and touch libraries, run the calibration sketch and try the sample programs. On a Mega, check that the library supports the Mega's pin arrangement, since the shield's pins map differently.
Students and makers who want a low-cost colour touchscreen for an Arduino UNO or Mega project.
Because the shield uses a parallel interface, the code that suits an UNO may need small changes on a Mega. Use a library that lists your board, and run the touch calibration example first. If the picture appears flipped, change the rotation setting in the library rather than rewiring.
