Hello,
I am no stranger to electronics as I am an industrial control systems specialist. I am however, a stranger to Arduino and or Adafruit. I just bought a brand new ILI9341 resistive touch breakout and M.J arduino UNO R3 as well as an adafruit motor shield and an additional "official" arduino UNO R3. The "official" board is for the motor shield application im developing. All is fine there, im driving several types of motors and or solenoids from this thanks to the help and tutorials here! Thanks to all of the contributors. The ILI9341, however, is the problem child! I followed this tutorial to the T: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-d ... spi-wiring. All is fine after this, sketch compiles, uploads, runs through the procedures, etc. Next I followed this tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-d ... ouchscreen. using SPI. Again everything seems to be right, compiles uploads, etc. I have the color boxes displayed on the screen but can not draw anything. I have also attempted the on_off_button_breakout example with the same results. When I upload the touch_screen_demo example and use the serial monitor I can see the values of x y and z returning according to the coordinates I touch. I have checked my wiring and terminations 50 times over. any ideas? please someone help, im at a dead stop in my development.
regards and thank you in advance

What kind of values are you seeing for Z? Can you post some sample output?

Thanks for the reply, but I found the issue. In the tutorial Y- as D8 and X+ as D9. In the example sketch Y- is defined as pin 5 and X+ as pin 4. Hopefully this helps some of my fellow newbies!
