Hey guys, I got a touch screen a while back and I really haven't been able to get it to work. I'm just wondering if you guys could help me get it working. None of the library examples for it really work. So I went online and found this library specifically for the certain kind. But errors pop up and all of them have to do with "TFT was not declared in this scope" or " Blue was not declared in this scope". So I downloaded the arduino version 1.0.1 because it was the one that was made around the same time as the library but it still didn't work. Thanks for your help.

If you want help. Post the link to the vendor website for the product and any datasheet you can find.
Photograph your circuit with a cell phone and post the photo.
Draw a schematic of how you wired it with pen and paper and photograph and post that.
Link the library that you are CURRENTLY trying to use (not ALL of them) describe exactly how you installed them.
Post the code you are trying to run using the "#" CODE TAGS tool button above.
Then you might get some help.
I bought one of these TFT displays last year along with my first Arduino and I had no idea how to use either really. I did the "Blink" example and a few others but unfortunately lost the position where I had access to the computer with all of my starting information. I finally got a chance to work with it today and I started here: http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/2.8''_TFT_Touch_Shield_V1.0l
I am working on a new laptop so I had to download the TFT library by following the link at the bottom of the page. GitHub - adafruit/Adafruit_TouchScreen: Arduino library for 4-wire resistive touchscreens. I added them to my library by following the Manual Instructions I found here http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries. You must rename the unzip directory as TFT. Most of the examples work although one or two are buggy, ie missing TS in front of the Point variable.
Let me know if this helps.
