Hello,
I'm building a display for my Netatmo weather station like this one. I'm not a power user, more a beginer
For a cost problem, I bought two Kuman Ecran Tactile UNO R3 3.5 TFT (Photos at the bottom of the post)
I'm using an ELEGOO Carte Mega 2560 R3 ATmega2560 ATMEGA . (and I succed to have WeMOS Mega + WiFi R3 ATmega2560 + ESP8266 working to grab Netatmo data using a php script, this works great, but I don't have yet connected the TFT on it, juste on the Elegoo Mega).
In Shield mode, one TFT works fine, I wired it to a breadboard using shield mode for Pin connexion.
I'm using a test example found in the mini dvd provided with the screen.
Here the code :
#include <SPI.h> // f.k. for Arduino-1.5.2
#include "Adafruit_GFX.h"// Hardware-specific library
#include <MCUFRIEND_kbv.h>
MCUFRIEND_kbv tft;
//#include <Adafruit_TFTLCD.h>
//Adafruit_TFTLCD tft(LCD_CS, LCD_CD, LCD_WR, LCD_RD, LCD_RESET);
// Assign human-readable names to some common 16-bit color values:
#define BLACK 0x0000
#define BLUE 0x001F
#define RED 0xF800
#define GREEN 0x07E0
#define CYAN 0x07FF
#define MAGENTA 0xF81F
#define YELLOW 0xFFE0
#define WHITE 0xFFFF
#ifndef min
#define min(a, b) (((a) < (b)) ? (a) : (b))
#endif

The code works fine.
My question is about using 2 TFT screens... is this possible ? If yes, how ?
If not, hmmm... I'll be force to return one of the screens...
Too bad...
Thanks for your help
