The Example Code and Library:

We have to install a library to operate the TFT Display with Arduino Mega. Before trying the examples, you need to copy the LCDWIKI library in the Install libraries directory of the test package to the libraries folder of the Arduino project directory (the default Arduino project directory is C:\Users\Administrator\ Documents\Arduino\libraries);

The Example Code: 

Try the example code to display the following colligate effect.

  1. Does this display shield support touch input, and if it does, how can I implement touch functionality in my projects?

    1. Yes, the Arduino Mega TFT LCD 480x320 Color Display shield often comes with touch screen functionality. To implement touch functionality in your projects, use the following Arduino code:
      #include
      #include
      #include

      #define TFT_CS 10 // TFT chip select
      #define TFT_DC 9 // TFT data/command
      #define TS_CS 8 // Touchscreen chip select

      #define TFT_WIDTH 480
      #define TFT_HEIGHT 320

      Adafruit_ILI9341 tft = Adafruit_ILI9341(TFT_CS, TFT_DC);
      Adafruit_TouchScreen ts = Adafruit_TouchScreen(TS_CS, 320, 240);

      void setup() {
      tft.begin();
      }

      void loop() {
      TS_Point p = ts.getPoint();
      if (p.z > MINPRESSURE && p.z < MAXPRESSURE) {
      // Touch detected
      int16_t x = p.x;
      int16_t y = p.y;

      // Do something with x and y, e.g., display them on the TFT screen
      tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_BLACK);
      tft.setCursor(10, 10);
      tft.setTextColor(ILI9341_WHITE);
      tft.setTextSize(2);
      tft.println("X: " + String(x));
      tft.println("Y: " + String(y));
      }
      }
