Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino with Resistive Touch Screen v2

Spice up your Arduino project with a captivating large touchscreen display shield featuring a built-in microSD card connection. This 2.8" diagonal TFT display offers a bright white-LED backlight and supports 18-bit color, delivering 262,000 different shades in vibrant detail.

With 240x320 pixel resolution and individual pixel control, it's an excellent upgrade from traditional 128x64 displays. The resistive touchscreen integrated into the display enables detecting finger presses anywhere on the screen.

The shield employs SPI for data transfer to the ILI9341 chipset and I2C for touchscreen interaction with the TSC2007 driver, ensuring compatibility with most Arduino and Mega-shaped boards. Enjoy easy access to free pins using a WingShield for connectivity.

Updated with a TSC2007 driver and selectable VddIO for 3.3V or 5V chips, the shield includes a STEMMA QT port for adding sensors and a more accessible right-angle reset button. Fully assembled and tested, it effortlessly integrates with any classic Arduino or Mega board.

The shield features built-in RAM buffering, minimizing load on the microcontroller, requiring only a few pins for operation. Unlock robust graphic capabilities with open-source libraries for drawing and touchscreen detection, plus example code for Arduino, easily adaptable to any microcontroller.

For different form factors, explore the 2.8" TFT breakout for projects requiring flexibility beyond the standard shield design.
