Hi, i'm beginner in arduino.
Buy one arduino mega2560 and one LCD touch.
But i dont know connect two parts.
I need help.
View the Picture of this:
Ya think? Do you have documentation for lcd ?
OK, I first though this is the most stupid post I have ever read, but I now believe your real question is
How do I fit a 40 pin plug in to a 36 pin socket?
The answer is - you don't. In short, I think you are missing a part.
Check with the LCD supplier and I believe you will find they sell a shield to take this display. It has a 36 pin plug to go into the end socket of the Mega in the manner you would expect, and a 40 pin socket on the other side and at the other end. It will also have the normal power pins etc., possibly another big socket for a different display, and maybe even yet another SD slot.

I guess you haven't read my other posts....
You mean you thought it was a plug and play shield ?

I was actually addressing the OP. Your other posts are normally models if succinct enlightenment, and you are just feeling a bit victimised after that run-in with Floresta

Well, the question was about connecting, and it looked at first like you just connect it but, while the red thingy has a SD slot included, I think it is a display and it requires an intermediary shield. Plug'n'play is a bit fast and loose with these things and they take quite a bit of planning - hence mine sitting in the box for nearly a year.

I guess I am a little shell shocked...If a bullet wizzes by I think someone is aiming for me...
well we wouldn't be having this conversation if the OP had posted a link to where he purchased the shield because 5'll get you 10 there is a 40pin inface cable available.
I'm not aware of any. and you might find it merely moves the problem rather than fixes it.
Hi pal, Im new, but im having the same issue, i have found the screen is a TFT_320QVT (this may help alot)
This pin Map may also help -http://www.elechouse.com/elechouse/images/product/3.2TFT%20shield/Pin%20Mapping.pdf
From what i have found it has the ability to run as 8 bit serial, 16bit Latched and 16bit parallell.
But dont quote me on that, as ive only read it once. hope this helps..
magskull,
Can you post a link to where you bought it ?
I buy this device in a physical store.
The sellers dont know arduino and dont help-me.
But I have a model of a similar device what maybe help me.
If I try works send here.
You just need the TFT LCD Mega Shield V2.2 from elecfreaks (maybe also others available). There are some issues with it but over all its a great board for connecting the 2. There are also many wiring diagrams out there but the TFT uses 3.3v so you have to use a resistor or something else to do the voltage drop. (For beginner I highly suggest the shield) Use the UTouch and UTFT library to get started. You may have to change a bit in the driver file for your screen to get the mirroring and orientation correct. And depending on the TFT you have there is a bit that has to be changed to display red properly. Also i had an SD problem that everyone else may or may not be having. If you have any of these problems I can help but don't have any of that with me.

Maybe it works.
Try and post here about: http://www.tuxti.com.br/wiki/index.php/Arduino_-_Tela_LCD_Touch_Screen_2.4_8bit_TFT01-2.4
The TFT01 works on the elecfreaks TFT shield that I mentioned earlier. You just need to change the default screen to yours in the sketch and Ur up and running.
