Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/Capacitive Touch

Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/Capacitive Touch info

Add some sizzle to your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection and a capacitive touchscreen. Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/Capacitive Touch is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 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 capacitive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen. It is a single-touch display.

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! Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/Capacitive Touch works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila). Solder three jumpers and you can use it at full speed on a Leonardo or Mega as well.

Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino - General Specifications

• 2.8" diagonal color touchscreen TFT
• Single-touch, capacitive display
• 240x320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color - library uses 16 bit color mode
• Works with any classic Arduino '328. Solder closed three jumpers to use the ICSP header for use with Leonardo or Mega

Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino - Technical Specifications

• ILI9341 controller with built in video RAM buffer
• FT2606 touch screen controller
• High speed SPI display with digital I2C touchscreen driver
• The display uses digital pins 13-9. Touchscreen controller requires I2C pins SDA and SCL. microSD pin requires digital #4. That means you can use digital pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and analog 0-5. Pin 4 is available if not using the microSD
• Onboard 3.3V @ 300mA LDO regulator, current draw depends on usage but is about 100mA for the display and touchscreen
