## Description

The 2.8" TFT Touch Shield with Capacitive Touch plugs directly into an Arduino and provides a bright, full-colour display with a smooth glass capacitive touchscreen and onboard MicroSD card socket. Fully assembled and ready to use — no wiring or soldering required. This 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. Key Features 2.8" TFT LCD – 240×320 resolution with 18-bit colour (262,000 shades) Capacitive Touchscreen – Glass-covered single-touch input, no stylus required SPI Interface – Fewer pins needed, leaving more available for sensors and peripherals I2C Touch Controller – Shareable I2C bus for the capacitive touch input MicroSD Card Socket – Onboard slot for loading and displaying images Plug-and-Play – Fully assembled shield, no soldering required Built-in RAM Buffer – Minimal microcontroller workload Bright Backlight – 4 white LEDs for excellent visibility Compatibility Direct fit: Arduino UNO, Duemilanove, Diecimila With 3 solder jumpers: Arduino Leonardo and Mega (full speed) Ideal For Arduino touchscreen projects Interactive displays and menu systems Data dashboards and sensor readouts Image slideshow displays Package Contents 1× 2.8" TFT Touch Shield with Capacitive Touch (fully assembled) Note: MicroSD card is not included.
