## Description

This colour touchscreen LCD gives your project a bright, high-resolution interface with a 3.5" diagonal TFT panel and capacitive touch already attached. With 480x320 pixels and individual RGB pixel control, it offers far more display space than small monochrome screens.The onboard display controller includes RAM buffering, so the microcontroller does not have to do most of the heavy lifting. You can drive the display using either an 8-bit interface for speed or SPI when you want to keep the pin count down.Touch communication uses I2C, with an optional IRQ pin for touch detection. If you are using the SPI and I2C interfaces, the built in EYESPI connector makes it quicker to hook up without a bundle of jumper wires.Adafruit provides a detailed tutorial with wiring, test and example code. There are separate optimised graphics libraries for 8-bit and SPI use, plus a touch screen library that can detect up to 5 multi-touch points.Features:Colour TFT display: 3.5" diagonal screen for graphical projects.Capacitive touch: Detects finger presses anywhere on the screen.RAM-buffered controller: Built-in controller reduces the workload on your microcontroller.Interface options: Supports 8-bit mode or SPI mode.I2C touch interface: Uses I2C pins for touch screen communication.Optional IRQ: IRQ pin available for touch screen detection.EYESPI connector: Built in connector for quick SPI and I2C interfacing.Graphics library: Open source 8-bit library can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and more.SPI library: Separate SPI library is provided and heavily optimised.Touch library: Detects up to 5 multi-touch points.Example support: Tutorial includes wiring, test and example code.Specifications:Display size: 3.5" diagonalResolution: 480x320 pixelsBacklight: 6 white-LED backlightPixel control: Individual RGB pixel controlTouchscreen: Capacitive touchscreen attachedDisplay controller: Built into it with RAM bufferingDisplay interface modes: 8-bit or SPI8-bit mode data lines: 8 digital data lines8-bit mode control lines: 4 or 5 digital control lines8-bit mode total lines: 12 lines totalSPI mode pins: 5 pins total (SPI data in, data out, clock, select, and d/c)Touch communication: I2C pins are requiredTouch IRQ: IRQ pin for the touch screen detectionQuick connector: Built in EYESPI connector for SPI and I2C interfacesMulti-touch: Detects up to 5 multi-touch pointsA great fit for interactive dashboards, handheld controllers, data displays, and other maker projects that need both colour graphics and touch input.
