Finally i'm getting somewhere and it seems that its the end of my BIG problems
After a bit i came to realize that this 2.8 screen is a pain to work with
cause not much people got to work with it but managed to get started and probably finish my project.
First this screen is a 8bit bus and is missing the RTS pin so many can go wrong.
I could work with it with ITDB02 Mega shield (revision 2.1 on board) but touch
was out of the question while it was fully operational to Arduino with ITDB02 shield
1.I used this post 永乐高ylg888888|中国股份有限公司
which converts the code to get an arduino ITDB02 shield to work on a MEGA.
(there is a tiny error in the library that need correction at the end of HW_AVR.h
_set_direction_registers(byte mode) ==> UTFT::_set_direction_registers(byte mode) )
and initialized with UTFT myGLCD(ILI9325D_8,A5,A4,A3,A2);
THIS GOT ME TO A FULLY WORKABLE SCREEN
2.Since ITDB02_Touch lib from Electronics - Henning Karlsen
worked for me went to get a fresh copy and for my surprise the new UTouch
library is out so i took advantage of it to test. All went well and got it to work
with UTouch myTouch(A1,8,A0,9,10);
First test is with UTouch_Button_test
// UTouch_ButtonTest (C)2010-2012 Henning Karlsen
// web: Electronics - Henning Karlsen
//
// This program is a quick demo of how create and use buttons.
//
// This program requires the UTFT library.
//
// It is assumed that the display module is connected to an
// appropriate shield or that you know how to change the pin
// numbers in the setup.
//
#include <UTFT.h>
#include <UTouch.h>
// Declare which fonts we will be using
extern uint8_t BigFont[];
// Uncomment the next two lines for the Arduino 2009/UNO
//UTFT myGLCD(ITDB24D,19,18,17,16); // Remember to change the model parameter to suit your display module!
//UTouch myTouch(15,10,14,9,8);
// Uncomment the next two lines for the Arduino Mega
UTFT myGLCD(ILI9325D_8,A5,A4,A3,A2); // Remember to change the model parameter to suit your display module!

the Utouch_Calibration not responds atm but i will try later
Will post more code samples as i go
