Ive installed every library I can find including the radio shack one and my touch screen just shows white.
None of the examples work and some dont even compile without errors. Ive seen examples of this working
so I must be doing something wrong. Ive run out of google searches on the matter and can only hope that
someone can point me in the right direction. I can give more details if necessary.
From what I can see, Version 1 of the shield uses the ST7781R driver ship which is not supported by the Henning Karlsen libraries.
You will need to find a library which supports this chip - I suggest you have a look at the Seeed Studio web site which has a library and sample code for this shield.
When you use this library what happens? Any errors on compilation ?
