2.4'' TFT LCD Touch screen, can't touch!!

Has already someone used this TFT LCD Touch screen on Arduino Uno Rev3?
http://www.ebay.it/itm/121352096483?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 using the right shield

I’ve just bought this and i can make it works drawing shapes, text and so on by code, but I can’t make it works on touches events.

I’m trying to use this code configurate for an Arduino Uno Rev 3.

Just check this part of line . TFTLCD-Library/examples at master · adafruit/TFTLCD-Library · GitHub try this library. Pin mapping your using not correct.

Below link can use it it has correct pinout configuration

3

Of course I'm sure this is the problem but where do i can find the right used pin for Arduino Uno R3 for the touch?

4

The referenced LCD typically requires a shield to connect to an Uno. It is the shield that determines the connections.

Which brand and model shield are you using?

5

as told previously I'm using it mounting the LCD on the right shield.
I can't read any information reguarding the producer. All the information I've is the store page where I've bought it from and the support page for the library Electronics - Henning Karlsen
But I'm using these library and I'm trying to use the configuration for Arduino R3 indicated in these library but probably it's a chinese clone so the compatibility is no the same and the owner of the library can't support me.

6

I have attached library relevant to your model . COnfigure your device accordingly

Hi, thank you, but the problem is that I can't find the file where to get information about my device pin configuration, can you please indicate me the file?
Thank you

Hello,
have you solved the problem with touch for TFT 2.4''?
I have a touchscreen display TFT 3.2'' and i want to use it on "arduino due".
I read that there are no problem with drawing shapes, text and so on.
I think that my display is equal to your.

Please answer me
thanks
F.N.

Thank you

if you carefully read graphic test code it is mentioned that'

// The control pins for the LCD can be assigned to any digital or
// analog pins...but we'll use the analog pins as this allows us to
// double up the pins with the touch screen (see the TFT paint example).
#define LCD_CS A3 // Chip Select goes to Analog 3
#define LCD_CD A2 // Command/Data goes to Analog 2
#define LCD_WR A1 // LCD Write goes to Analog 1
#define LCD_RD A0 // LCD Read goes to Analog 0

#define LCD_RESET A4 // Can alternately just connect to Arduino's reset pin

// When using the BREAKOUT BOARD only, use these 8 data lines to the LCD:
// For the Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Diecimila, etc.:
//   D0 connects to digital pin 8  (Notice these are
//   D1 connects to digital pin 9   NOT in order!)
//   D2 connects to digital pin 2
//   D3 connects to digital pin 3
//   D4 connects to digital pin 4
//   D5 connects to digital pin 5
//   D6 connects to digital pin 6
//   D7 connects to digital pin 7
// For the Arduino Mega, use digital pins 22 through 29
// (on the 2-row header at the end of the board).

// Assign human-readable names to some common 16-bit color values:

let me know if you face any problem

I think that my display (3.2'' TFT_320QVT) can used like this of 2.4''.

Look this:

I think that library is similar to 2.4''

In this video touchscreen is ok .

Let me now

Which board planning to use.If using arduino Mega fine i think. If using UNO check power consumption by LCD.

I have never used these LCD module.

?????????

So why are you advising then?
