problem with touch screen on Adafruit 2.8" TFT screen resistive touch screen connected to Uno. I have be following the tutorials on learn.adafruit.com, it all works until i try the touch screen. Its wired as the tutorial and all libraries are loaded, its using spi mode.
Please can any help?
Please post a link to the actual screen and the actual tutorial.
Adafruit make a lot of screens and publish a lot of "tutorials"
#include <TouchScreen.h>

These displays use SPI to communicate, 4 or 5 pins are required to
interface (RST is optional)

I have started testing other examples and they are working so there must something wrong with the program, i am a beginner!
Thanks for the link to the screen. That screen contains a bare resistive Touch panel. There is no Touch controller.
You use "Adafruit_Touchscreen.h" library with a bare resistive panel.
Your "program" expects a STMPE610 Touch controller chip. e.g. "Adafruit_STMPE610.h"
Other makes of screen use a XPT2046 Touch controller chip. e.g. "XPT2046_Touchscreen.h"
This is why it is wise to post links to the item(s) that you have bought.
And links to the actual tutorial page (and sketch) that you are using.
I am much happier with replying to a "known" example than to a "pasted" sketch. I can run the "virgin" library example with confidence that the OP has not altered anything.
Of course you often make minor edits to configure an example e,g. constructor statements.
In which case you quote the example "name" and just paste the "altered lines"
