Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display
shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big
(2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit
262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control.
It has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display. As a
bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already,
so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.
The shield is fully assembled, tested and ready to go. No wiring, no
soldering! Simply plug it in and load up our library - you'll have it
running in under 10 minutes! Works best with any classic Arduino (UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila). This shield does work with the Mega Arduinos but its going to be half the speed of the Uno-type boards because of the way the Mega rearranges all the pins (there is no way to get around this!)
This display shield has a controller built into it with RAM buffering,
so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. The shield does
require a lot of pins: 12 lines total for the display, 13 total if you
use the microSD card
