White screen on 2.8" TFT Touchscreen Shield.

Post by pigeon123 »

Wondering if anyone can help.

have a couple 2.8" TFT Touchscreen Shield that just shows a white screen if I try and upload any of the example sketches.

Have followed the guide and enabled the

Code: Select all

#define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT
line in TFTLCD.h, but having no joy getting anything but the white screen, no compiling errors and nothing showing up in the serial monitor apart from a backward question mark sometimes.

On Windows 10, using a Mega 2560 (even tried 2 Arduino and 2 cables).

Adafruit sells two models of the 2.8" TFT shield. One is capacitive and the other resistive. Which one are you using?

Thanks, worked it out in the end, needed to solder 3 jumpers on the shield to work with a Mega, will teach me to read ALL the documentation!
