Hiya all, i am new to this so looking for some help and patience , I have ordered a 2560 mega r3 and this screen IIC / I2C Serial 3.2" LCD 2004 Module Display for Arduino - Free shipping - DealExtreme for an LED project for my fish tank, can i get a shield with rtc that's compatible ? if so which one please ,

Hi :slight_smile:

If you read the review on your link, you'll see that it seems to be the same as the TFT01-2.4 sold by Elecfreaks.
Then the only pb with arduino board is that the screen works at 3.3V and arduino I/O are 5V .
But I had a look at the elecfreak site, and they have a shield that reduces the voltage, have a look here http://www.elecfreaks.com/1204.html , I think you'll find what you need :slight_smile:

hth,

edit : the one for the mega is http://www.elecfreaks.com/store/lcd-tft01-arduino-mega-shield-v10-p-214.html

That's brilliant thanks , I really am fish outa water here, I have to admit i didn't read the review till after i paid

cheers k
