This 2.8 inch TFT LCD shield is a fully assembled touchscreen display for Arduino boards. It has a large diagonal screen with bright LED backlighting and colour capability, and you can attach it to an Arduino UNO or MEGA2560 without soldering and have it operational within minutes.
The display gives individual pixel control, backlight control and an integrated resistive touchscreen for detecting finger presses.
The driver is an HX8347i, the resolution is 240 x 320 pixels and the colour depth is 18-bit (262,000 shades). The interface is 8-bit digital plus four control lines, the touch is 4-wire resistive and the backlight is four white LEDs. The module measures 78 x 53 x 15 mm and weighs 45 g. A stylus is included.
Because a shield uses many Arduino pins, you will have few pins left for other parts. Install a library for the HX8347i driver, run the touch calibration example and draw simple shapes first before building your own interface.
Beginners and hobbyists who want a colour display with touch for an Arduino UNO or Mega project such as a menu, a game or a data display.
Solder nothing, but check that the shield sits firmly in the headers. If the screen stays white, the library probably does not match the HX8347i driver, so try another driver name or an auto-detect example. Because the shield covers most pins, plan any other sensors to use the header pins that come out at the top.
