Fully assembled and ready to use — no wiring or soldering required.\n\nThis shield uses SPI for the display and SD card, requiring fewer pins than older designs. The capacitive touchscreen controller communicates over I2C (which can be shared with other I2C devices), so the total pin count is low: 5 SPI pins for the display, 2 shared I2C pins for touch, and 1 additional pin for the MicroSD card.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n2.8\" TFT LCD – 240×320 resolution with 18-bit colour (262,000 shades)\n\nCapacitive Touchscreen – Glass-covered single-touch input, no stylus required\n\nSPI Interface – Fewer pins needed, leaving more available for sensors and peripherals\n\nI2C Touch Controller – Shareable I2C bus for the capacitive touch input\n\nMicroSD Card Socket – Onboard slot for loading and displaying images\n\nPlug-and-Play – Fully assembled shield, no soldering required\n\nBuilt-in RAM Buffer – Minimal microcontroller workload\n\nBright Backlight – 4 white LEDs for excellent visibility\n\n\nCompatibility\n\n\nDirect fit: Arduino UNO, Duemilanove, Diecimila\n\nWith 3 solder jumpers: Arduino Leonardo and Mega (full speed)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nArduino touchscreen projects\nInteractive displays and menu systems\nData dashboards and sensor readouts\nImage slideshow displays\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 2.8\" TFT Touch Shield with Capacitive Touch (fully assembled)\n\n\n\nNote: MicroSD card is not included.\n\n\nResources\n\nAdafruit 2.8\" TFT Touch Shield v2 Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13561,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1947","price":95.63,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
