Tft 3.2 Touch will just not work -.-

Hi there - im pretty new to arduino, and have played around with it for around 2 month - but today i recived my 3.2 tft touch screen ( TFT01-3.2 / ITDB02)
so i hooked it up to the shield i recived for it(so it works with an UNO instead of mega) - the only thing i else have done is installed library ITDB02_Graph16
and ITDB02_Touch - also i have maked sure that the code is set for the UNO with shield - but now when i tries to load an example code from the library it says " Invalid conversion from 'uint8_t*' to 'int'

so what do i do?

oh also i did remove a *
from the code the library ITDB02_Graph16.h the * from the code #include "WProgram.h"

struct _current_font
{
uint8_t* font;
uint8_t x_size;
uint8_t y_size;
uint8_t offset;
uint8_t numchars;
};

so what can it possible be i need to do?

so what can it possible be i need to do?

You need to post your code.

but i still just get a white screen...

Are you sure your display controller is SSD1289 ? If not, try with this line:

UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32,19,18,17,16);

Also, here is some info about the Arduino shield 1.3, that you may have missed :

If you connect the ITDB02-3.2S shield, this shield must be set to 16 bit mode and neither the SD card nor the touch capabilities are available.

In other words, if you want the touchscreen and/or SD card, you must buy an Arduino Mega and the Mega Shield..

a white screen...

Hey, not sure if you're using the same screen as I was, but I had that exact same problem and got it to work by reversing the directions that say...
// Uncomment the next line for Arduino 2009/Uno
UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32S,19,18,17,16); // Remember to change the model parameter to suit your display module!

// Uncomment the next line for Arduino Mega
//UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32S,38,39,40,41); // Remember to change the model parameter to suit your display module!

I just commented the one it said to uncomment, and uncommented the one it says to comment

// Uncomment the next line for Arduino 2009/Uno
//UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32S,19,18,17,16); // Remember to change the model parameter to suit your display module!

// Uncomment the next line for Arduino Mega
UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32S,38,39,40,41);

There was also an issue with the pin numbers as stated in the previous post. I can check my code when I'm home and post it.

Hope this helps!

Hi Martin1454.

I think if you move all of you jumpers to DB0-DB7 it will switch to 16-bit mode (3.2 Touch is 16-bit). In this mode, all of the video 320x240 demos should run quite well. I have not been able to get the Uno to talk SD and Touch in 16bit through these TFT shields for the Uno.

Anyhow, that should fix the white screen, but it wont help you project since all you IO pins are utilized for 16 bit mode. You will need an 8 bit display (TFT 2.4 Touch?) or a Mega and a TFT Mega Shield for the 3.2 Touch.
