TFT Touch Shield for Arduino mega

Post by andrew4 »

I am using the TFT Touch Shield for Arduino with a mega and saw that you needed to use the ICSP for it to work. Is there a way so you don't have to use those the ICSP pins and just use the pins that you would for the uno? Thanks.

On the Mega the SPI pins are brought out on the ICSP pins you could also run wires.
SPI: 50 (MISO), 51 (MOSI), 52 (SCK), 53 (SS). These pins support SPI communication using the SPI library. The SPI pins are also broken out on the ICSP header, which is physically compatible with the Uno, Duemilanove and Diecimila.

So what you are saying is connect the MISO pin on the screen to pin 50 on the arduino and so on?
