How to get started with 3.2inch TFT LCD Shield for Arduino Mega2560
In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino .
Hardware required
Connecting the Hardware
Begin by carefully starting the rear connector of the TFT shield onto the Arduino Mega. Go slowly and ensure that all pins are inserted correctly and are straight.
Start the LCD display connector into the 40-pin pin header on the TFT shield, ensuring that all pins are properly aligned.
Setting up the library
In order to use 3.2″ TFT lcd Shield , We must have the libraries. So you can download (UTFT Library) and (URTouch Library) install the library by extracting that zipped file in the library folder as shown below.
