I’m using code from Seeed Studio- who I guess made these things. Its called TFT Touch v4.2. All installed find and I ran the examples out of the box with no trouble. Plopped the shield on an Uno, no drama at all. I’ve some other ideas where color graphics could make a difference. I was really impressed by the color depth (64K). The display module itself runs on 2.8v- there’s a regulator from the 5v from the Aduino. The uSD Card runs on 3.3v with another linear regulator. There are real level shifters on all the lines and a good set of jumpers and links to customize things. The resistive touch panel goes directly into the Arduino’s ADC’s- no extra chip. Works pretty well and a good example in the library. The backlight Is a bit of a hog- may adjust resistor value. Its default jumper is to be on all the time- but there is a jumper for control. Schematics are on the SEEED site- current product that sells for about $20 IIRC. I couldn’t get the example SD card to load but I didn’t spend any time on it- its pretty simple, just SPI and a CS, might have a bad card?
Take care. Regards, John M.
