keyestudio 2.8inch TFT LCD Shield


Introduction

This is a keyestudio 2.8 inch TFT LCD shield with touchscreen. This TFT display is driven with ILI9325 chip and has 240x320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control. 
This display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen. It also comes with a Reset button marked K1 and MicroSD card socket on the back. (microSD card not included, but any will work)
This LCD shield is fully compatible with the Arduino UNO R3, so that you can easily stack it on the board for simple use.

Upload the Code

Note: Before compile the code, do remember to add the necessary libraries inside the libraries directory of Arduino IDE.

Code 1:

#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>    // Core graphics library
#include <Adafruit_TFTLCD.h> // Hardware-specific library
#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>


// The control pins for the LCD can be assigned to any digital or
// analog pins...but we'll use the analog pins as this allows us to
// double up the pins with the touch screen (see the TFT paint example).
#define LCD_CS A3 // Chip Select goes to Analog 3
#define LCD_CD A2 // Command/Data goes to Analog 2
#define LCD_WR A1 // LCD Write goes to Analog 1
#define LCD_RD A0 // LCD Read goes to Analog 0
#define PIN_SD_CS 10 // Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10

#define LCD_RESET A4 // Can alternately just connect to Arduino's reset pin

// When using the BREAKOUT BOARD only, use these 8 data lines to the LCD:
// For the Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Diecimila, etc.:
//   D0 connects to digital pin 8  (Notice these are
//   D1 connects to digital pin 9   NOT in order!)
//   D2 connects to digital pin 2
//   D3 connects to digital pin 3
//   D4 connects to digital pin 4
//   D5 connects to digital pin 5
//   D6 connects to digital pin 6
//   D7 connects to digital pin 7
// For the Arduino Mega, use digital pins 22 through 29
// (on the 2-row header at the end of the board).

// Assign human-readable names to some common 16-bit color values:
#define	BLACK   0x0000

What you should see?

First put the picture into SD card using the card reader and then insert the SD card inside the shield. Stack well the LCD shield onto the UNO R3. After power on and upload the code 1 to UNO board, you should see the picture is displayed on the LCD screen. Below is some example pictures.

Done uploading the code 2 to UNO board, you could select different colors to draw various shapes on the LCD screen with your fingers. Shown below.
