Help with TFT LCD screen and Arduino

Former Member

I have purchased an Arduino Mega 2560 R3 and want to connect a 3.5" TFT LCD to it. I am aware that I have to enter the source code but am stuck. There was no code sent with the screen.

I bought it from:  Arduino Mega 2560 R3 R61581 3 5 inch TFT LCD Touhscreen Shield | eBay.

I was directed to this site:   UTouch - Electronics - Henning Karlsen

for the UTFT and UTOUCH codes. I have added them to my library but the UTFT names do not match my screen when I try to run a configuration

What am I doing wrong. I am new to this so you will have to explain it bit by bit please.

  • Hello Geoff.

    did you manage to get your TFT LCD to work.

    I have the same shield and did some research to try to get this working on a MEGA 2560.

    I downloaded and copied the mentioned library to my library folder.

    In the declaration of your shield you have to use R61581 to get this to work with this library.


    UTFT myGLCD(R61581,19,18,17,16);// Start an instance of the UTFT class

     

    However, I have not managed to use uTouch yet. Have not found the correct pin config.
