Problem compiling Adafruit_TFTLCD

Other Hardware Displays
1

Hi
I have a 2.4" TFT LCD from mcufriend.com.
I can make it display a lot and I can read positions in separate programs.

I have look around and all points at adafruit-GFX & adafruit_TFTLCD so I have downloaded the newest versions from github.

When compiling "tftpaint_shield" I get an error:

Arduino: 1.8.12 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

I have tried loading different versions of Adafruit_TFTLCD but the same error turns up.

Any input?

Which controller is mounted on your 2.4 inch shield?

Adafruit_TFTLCD supports a small number of common controllers.

What do you want to do?
Several libraries inherit Adafruit_GFX which means that they can do everything that Adafruit_GFX can do.

Hi David

I don't know which controller - after I ran into the problem, it is not possible to compile any programs that can ask for ID.

I would like to display some measurements on the display, and have a menu pop up when a button is pressed.

If it is a 2.4 inch Mcufriend Uno shield, install MCUFRIEND_kbv and Adafruit_GFX via IDE Library Manager

This will tell you which controller you have got.

Then I can tell you if any versions of Adafruit_TFTLCD support your controller.

David.
