Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch LCD Shield for Arduino with Resistive Touch Screen

Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch LCD Shield for Arduino with Resistive Touch Screen info

Spice up your Arduino project with Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch LCD Shield for Arduino with Resistive Touch Screen with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch LCD Shield for Arduino with Resistive Touch Screen 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). Solder three jumpers and you can use it at full speed on a Leonardo or Mega as well.
 

Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch LCD Shield with Resistive Touch Screen - General Specifications

• 2.8" diagonal color touchscreen TFT
• 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
• 4 white LED backlight on by default but you can connect the transistor to a digital pin for backlight control

Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch LCD Shield with Resistive Touch Screen - Technical Specifications

• ILI9341 controller with built in video RAM buffer
• STMPE610 touch screen controller
• High speed SPI display with digital SPI touchscreen driver
• The display uses digital pins 13-9. Touchscreen controller requires digital pin 8. microSD pin requires digital #4. That means you can use digital pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 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
