Seeed Studio TFT v2 GUI

Projects Programming
1

I have recently ordered a Seeed TFT screen v2, because the first version was discontinued. When I received it, in less than ten minutes I had gotten all of the examples that came with it to work.

My ultimate aim in buying the tft shield was to make a small GUI where I could navigate around, and open files from the microsd card that I have.

To my distress, each of the GUI libraries made for the shield were made for version one, not version two. I had tried them, but none worked. The only documentation I see about v2 is on the SeeedStudio wiki for the product.

GUI library: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
Seeed wiki: http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/2.8''_TFT_Touch_Shield_V2.0

If anyone has made any buttons, menus etc for the shield, or has gotten a working gui on v2, please let me know.

Thanks

I had tried them, but none worked.

What happened? How do the examples for the v2 shield differ from the examples for the V1 shield?

Which GUI libraries did you try?

Did you change the #include files from the V1 names to the V2 names (#include <TFTv2.h>
#include <SPI.h>)?

Sorry for not responding, and for the un-thought out question.
Instead of using the libraries currently available, I decided to just not use a library.

Thanks for the replies.
