Buydisplay 2.8” TFT Touch Shield with Arduino adapter

Overview

The Buydisplay 2.8” TFT Touch Shield has a resolution of 320x240 pixels and is based on the ILI9341 controller. This shield comes with a capacitive FT6206 controller touchscreen. The Arduino adapter is required to use this shield.

More information about the shield and Arduino adapter can be found at the Buydisplay 2.8” TFT Touch Shield website [1] and Arduino adapter website [2].

Pin Assignments

Shield Connector Pin

Function

D5

Touch Controller IRQ (see note below)

D7

D10

ILI9341 Reset

D9

ILI9341 SPI CSn

D11

SPI MOSI (Serial Data Input)

D12

SPI MISO (Serial Data Out)

D13

Note

Touch controller IRQ line is not connected by default. You will need to solder the 5 INT jumper to use it. You will also need to adjust driver configuration and its Device Tree entry to make use of it.

Requirements

This shield can only be used with a board which provides a configuration for Arduino connectors and defines node aliases for SPI and GPIO interfaces (see Shields for more details).

Programming

Set --shield buydisplay_2_8_tft_touch_arduino when you invoke west build. For example:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 --shield buydisplay_2_8_tft_touch_arduino samples/subsys/display/lvgl
