2.8 inch tft lcd shield

I received this LCD yesterday.

using this board

This is the code I'am trying to use

And this is my error messages

Arduino: 1.7.8 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino Uno"

tftpaint_shield.ino:6:25: fatal error: TouchScreen.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

Error compiling.

Is this something that I over looked? Thank you for any reply's. :slight_smile:

Is this something that I over looked?

Downloading the required library?
Installing the library in the proper place?
Restarting the IDE after installing the library?

We don't know which of these steps you may have failed to perform.

Well the library is under the examples tap in the IDE, and yes I did try restarting the IDE and got the same results.

Well the library is under the examples tap in the IDE

Specifically which library? That you got from where?

I herd other people had trouble with this LCD, but idk.

That is NOT a library that you linked to. That is an example provided with a library for some stuff that Adafruit peddles. You need to ask them where the hell the TouchScreen.h file is, since it is not part of the library that they supply, but their library depends on it.

This might help:
