Unknown LCD driver chip: 0

Using Arduino Displays
1

Hey guys,

so I am basically a total beginner when it comes to working with the Arduino. I recently bought the Arduino Uno Rev 3 as well as the Seeed 2.8 inch TFT Touch Shield v2.0.
I installed the Adafruit_GFX.h and the Adafruit_TFTLCD.h libraries with the library manager...

But everytime I try to run the graphictest that comes along with the Adafruit_TFTLCD.h library, it won't work at all! The display remains white, an on the monitor it says:

17:07:37.530 -> TFT LCD test
17:07:37.530 -> Using Adafruit 2.TFT LCD test
17:07:39.191 -> Using Adafruit 2.8" TFT Arduino Shield Pinout
17:07:39.224 -> TFT size is 240x320
17:07:39.258 -> Unknown LCD driver chip: 0
17:07:39.258 -> If using the Adafruit 2.8" TFT Arduino shield, the line:
17:07:39.330 -> #define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT
17:07:39.364 -> should appear in the library header (Adafruit_TFT.h).
17:07:39.435 -> If using the breakout board, it should NOT be #defined!
17:07:39.507 -> Also if using the breakout, double-check that all wiring
17:07:39.543 -> matches the tutorial.

As you can see, I already uncommented the USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT 1 - line in the header file of the library. Does anyone of you already dealt with that kind of problem?

If so, I would really appreciate it, if someone could help me,

Thank You :open_mouth:

Please post a link to the actual display that you bought. It removes any guesswork.

I googled "Seeed 2.8 inch TFT Touch Shield v2.0" and found 2.8 inch TFT Touch Shield v2.0 - Seeed Wiki

Please confirm whether this is your display.

The Wiki gives you links for the appropriate libraries.
Install the libraries.
Run all the library examples.
Ask questions if you have a problem. Quote example by name. Describe problem.

You don't have to use the Seeed library. But it is wise to start with the library recommended by the display manufacturer (i.e. Seeed)

When you have investigated thoroughly and want to try "other" library, explain what you want to do and why there is a problem with Seeed.
Then we can advise you about suitable alternatives.

Please note that the above display is ILI9341 with SPI interface. MCUFRIEND_kbv and Adafruit_TFTLCD are only for Parallel displays.
