I have loaded the test example supplied and just done a verify compile which gives errors...?
Just want to be sure I have the right library, any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the speedy response, YES, the image from #45 is the exact one I have!
And yes, this IS the exact item in teh ebay pics.
And yes there are resistor packs RP1-RP6 (no RP7)
Sorry, didnt notice that! Yes the item I have been sent is in fact different to the ebay ad.
Attached is a photo of the item I have which IS teh same as that of msg 45
There was no need to send an "extra" JPEG. Just say that you matched vagos21's photo.
Please can you read the values on RP1-7. Neither photo is clear enough. They will say something like 102 or 103.
Simple answer is: I hope to get a similar board working with a Forum member (peloxp).
Until then, I don't think there is any library that works out of the box.
You could try to use the old code from http://osoyoo.com/driver/3.5LCD_ili9481.rar again
to see if this works, I know it will give an error, but you must try this code with an
older Arduino version like Arduino 1.0 ... Arduino-1.6.5-r2.
If this works you could look further to find a solution.
They have made no attempt to support the 8-bit version.
There are several people with this 8-bit display shield.
I can confirm that it "works" the same as the 16-bit shield. i.e. same control pins.
It just uses an 8-bit bus (D22-D29) when the 16-bit version uses a 16-bit bus (D22-D37)
If you just change dtm[21] from 16 to 8, it will use the same initlcd.h and setxy.h but with the 8-bit driver.
You will use the same constructor: UTFT myGLCD(ILI9481,38,39,40,41);
Untested. I do not have this shield. Please report back with the result.
David.
n.b. dtm[] array is in UTFT.cpp file. Remember that dtm[21] is the 22nd entry in dtm[]
21 is the magic #define for ILI9481 in UTFT.h
