hi. i managed to make it working, but the touchscreen seems to be inverted. when i swipe along the x the line appears on y and viceversa! any work around that?

[AmoghS2]

in the MCUFRIEND_kbv.cpp file in the MCUFRIEND_kbv library, remove the line INVERT_GS which comes after _lcd_replace. Then save the cpp file and reupload the code to your arduino. The display should now, not be mirrored.

I cant download

[drhdfaasef]

I am very sad

[ManuelC15]

Can I mount this screen shield on another shield, specifically the shield that contains 4 relays? Everything, of course, in an Arduino UNO.

[Karel Z]

I have a touch display 480x320 and this code not work. Please help me.

[karagenc]

Hello, how can i use hc06 or hc05 bluetooth module with this shield?

[RizonBarns]

It seems the shield doesn't reserve any pins to use, so you cannot.

[CosmonawtM]

Plese give work code this code not work

[DakM]

I agree with you

[BassamK1]

im 2 not work

[Arduino_Tutorials]

the code works you have to import the librarys

[CosmonawtM]

This code not work plese give work code

[Granzeier]

Very cool, I just ordered one of these from BangGood.

But it is not an instructable for you to just show someone else's work. How about if you give some explanation on how to use Adafruit's programs to make your own display - maybe how to write your name, or something else.

[mrsharkit]

And banggood sends at least 3 different models, completely different libs used... Instructables is being flooded with bullshit or copied stuff...
