Hello All,
I have been using the 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino with Resistive Touch Screen for a project for quite sometime successfully on a custom board. I have included the schematic in the attachment. I recently was required to update my arduino IDE from 1.0.6 to 1.6.7. Once this update was done I lost functionality of the Shield. I updated to the latest libraries provided by Adafruit.
When I run the "touch paint" example in the Adafruit_ILI9341 library I get the following error message:
Touch Paint!
Couldn't start touchscreen controller
Also the "graphictest" example in the Adafruit_ILI9341 library is not working.
What is strange is that if run the same code using an Arduino Mega and the shield it works fine but the custom board does not.
If I revert back to Arduino 1.0.6 the custom boards and screen works just fine. I would really like to get this working with 1.6.7. Any suggestions as to why things work fine with 1.0.6 but not with 1.6.7?? Any solutions?
