Minimum Pin Requirements for Arduino Capacitive Touch Shield

Post by amcohen99 »

Hi I purchased the 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/Capacitive Touch (PRODUCT ID: 1947). I cannot use it as a shield directly on the UNO because it covers all of the pins and I need to use pins for other items like a relay and a thermocouple. Is there a way to use this shield with a breadboard or jumper wires? If so, what is the minimum amount of wiring that needs to be done to use all the functions.

Thanks!

The Wingshield carries all the GPIO connections out to terminal blocks: https://www.adafruit.com/products/196

That's usually a god way of getting at pins covered by some other shield.

Thanks - that takes care of the hardware issue. I would still be grateful to understand the minimum wiring requirements - in other words, which pins are actually used and by which components (touch screen, lcd, sd card).

Thanks
