How to test the 2.8" TFT Touch shield v1.0 display

Former Member

I am looking for script that I can test my 2.8" TFT Touch shield v1.0 display on the arduino uno or Mega 2560. I have download a script but got this error when I compile it. I don't understand what has to be done. Feed back will be appreciated.

 

Here is the Error

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\TFT\utility\Adafruit_ST7735.cpp: In member function 'void Adafruit_ST7735::spiwrite(uint8_t)':
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\TFT\utility\Adafruit_ST7735.cpp:59: error: 'SPI' was not declared in this scope

    The issue you are running into is because the TFT library that is included with the Arduino IDE uses the same name as the SeeedStudio TFT library.  The Arduino IDE's TFT library will not work with the SeeedStudio V1 TFT Shield.

     

     

    The errors you are seeing are from the TFT Library that is included with the Arduino IDE.  To solve this problem, Tony DiCola updated the SeeedStudio TFT Library and changed the library name from TFT to TFTShield.
    You can download the fixed SeeedStudio TFT library from Tony DiCola's github https://github.com/tdicola/TFT_Touch_Shield_V1

     

    The examples on Tony's github use the updated library name so you shouldn't have these issues if you use the new library code.
