I bought this TFT screen to work with my Mega2560 - specifically because it said that it worked with UTFT / UTFT_Buttons / Utouch Libraries - which I have used lots before and therefore don't need to learn new libraries.
When I tried using it, it appears to only work with MCUFRIEND_kbv.h - which I don't believe is compatible with UTFT_Buttons?
Has anyone else managed to get it to work?
Failing that, would anyone know of any Amazon UK screens that 110% work with the libraries that I need? If you could send a link I would be eternally grateful. Although some say that they are compatible - they look a lot like the one I've already bought and I'm loosing the will to live trying to get it working!
No, that display will never work with URTouch.h library or UTFT_Buttons.
However it should work 100% with MCUFRIEND_kbv, Adafruit_GFX, Adafruit_Touchscreen.h
Adafruit_GFX_Button class is part of Adafruit_GFX
It is designed for a Uno. So TFT will be very slow on a MEGA2560. Adafruit_Touchscreen.h will work fine.
The TFT has reasonable speed on a Due, Teensy, STM32, ...
Seriously. If you wanted a TFT for a MEGA2560 you should buy a Mega2560 Shield.
You can always post a link to your proposed purchase. You will get an accurate reply within hours. i.e. you avoid receiving an unsuitable item after a LONG wait from China.
Firstly thankyou so much for taking the time to reply I really appreciate it.
I’ve got no issue using it with a Uno if that speeds it up, but it would use all of the Uno pins ? I need 3 pins for other functions.
In terms of the Mega shield, what exactly would I need to buy? I used to use the SainSmart TFT shield with the Megas - which used 40 pin tft devices onto the 36pin connector. I can’t find those for love not money at the moment !
