Features


  • Colorful, 18-bit 262,000 different shades
  • Bright, 4 white LED backlight. On by default but you can connect the transistor to a digital pin for backlight control
  • Works with any Arduino 328 or Mega (Leonardo not supported yet)
  • Onboard 3.3V 300mA LDO regulator
  • 4-wire resistive touchscreen
  • Uses digital pins 5-13 and analog 0-3. That means you can use digital pins 2, 3 and analog 4 and 5. Pin 12 is available if not using the micro SD
