Hey there, this is the first time I am using a TFT touch shield and I am using it on an Arduino Uno.
I followed all the instruction on the "Touchscreen Paint Example | 2.8" TFT Touch Shield | Adafruit Learning System " page.
I am how ever using a 2.6" and not a 2.8", I am unsure how that would affect the code or the library. I uncomented the "#define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT" line as stated in the library line.
All I am getting is a "white screen" that does not react to anything or change at all. I have no idea why this is happening. Do you have any suggestion? Do I need to change something in the code because of the screen dimensions? If yes how? I am totally lost and confused!
