This library will rotate the screen 90 degrees to be viewed in landscape mode. This results in the X range from 0 to 319 and the Y range from 0 to 239. The point (0,0) is located at the top left corner. X increases from left to right and Y increases from top to bottom.
The library was created and verified with Arduino IDE 1.8.3 using an Arduino UNO R3, Arduino 101, and Elegoo Mega2560 R3. The examples were also updated to use the landscape orientation.
This library was cloned from the Seeed Studio site and the original Readme is shown below. Because it is landscape only, the suffix LS was added to the filenames. The library for the touch screen from Seeed Studio is usable without any modifications as of August 7, 2017.
This is a multifunctional Arduino/Seeeduino/Arduino Mega compatible resistive touch screen. It can be used as display device or sketch pad.Compared with the previous version, 2.8’’TFT Touch Shield V1.0 , we replaced the screen driver with a more professional chip, ILI9341 driver, providing different pin-saving SPI communication without sacrificing the data transmitting speed. Due to the communication method change, programs developed for the original version need modifications before being transplanted to the new version. With a SD card module integrated also on this shield, this shield reserves great room for other expansions to your project.
Features
- Big screen for easy and comfortable experience
- Backlight controllable via programming
- 65535 rich colors display
- SPI pin-saving communication method
- Full screen touch active range
