This 3.5 inch TFT LCD touch screen display shield is a compact touchscreen module designed for Arduino UNO that needs no separate power source or protective case. A stylus is included for interacting with the display.
The display is 480 x 320 (8:5) with 65K colours and an ILI9486 controller. Touch is resistive through an onboard stand-alone XPT2046 controller.
It communicates over SPI, so it uses few Arduino pins and leaves others free. It has PWM backlight control, a micro SD card slot for photo storage and I/O at 3.3 V or 5 V. It is compatible with the Arduino UNO, Leonardo, UNO PLUS, NUCLEO and XNUCLEO boards, and comes with STM32 and Arduino example code.
Install a library that supports the ILI9486 controller, run the touch calibration sketch and then try the SD card demo. Because SPI is slower than a parallel bus, animations will update more slowly than on an 8-bit shield, so keep screens simple.
Makers who need a bigger display with touch and an SD slot for a menu-driven Arduino or STM32 project.
Run the touch calibration sketch first so that taps land where you expect. Format the SD card as FAT32 for image demos, keep image sizes small and be prepared for slower drawing than a parallel display. Powering the shield from the Arduino's 5 V rail is normally enough, but use a separate supply if you also drive motors.
