2.4 inch tft touch LCD display for Beginners

Hi All,
Have a Good day,

Anybody bought chinese MCUFRIEND tft touchscreen display😁. I bought one. By gods grace(joking) after 2-3 days, i made it to work 😎😉.If you have one and bit confused, dont worry babes.

Use arduino for easiness. Direcltly plug it into arduino board. If you have arduino maded by you then wire it by looking the plug in direction. Check once more the connection is correct or not. In my display module there's no 3v3 regulator ,so i have to give 3V3 instead of 5V. Dont connect 3V3 pin 5V!!!! Check once more....

First you have to read the ID of the driver from it. There are arduino programs that will help you to read lcd drivers(google bro). Sometimes you get a value 0x00 (cant say true). If it shows 0x00 then try to use this link
Jaolopez will help you😊. He helped me lot. If you got any value then try to google with that value, it will bring you to correct site. Most of the drivers and their corresponding arduino libraries will get you from here

The main arduino library is provided by Adafruit. changing adafruit library is our main job.

You will get the logic later about why you didnt got the driver info from display and also about how a little change in libraries made it to work perfectly.

Now coming to the touchscreen side. I'm talking about resistive touchscreen. You'll get libraries for touch from the above links. You only need to caliberate the touch screen. My touch screen worked easily. Caliberate  the touch screen means, the tft display and touch screen are different entities. So in order to work both in coordination, you have to caliberate it. i.e. only the place you touch on the screen need to be sensed. Rest will understand to you automatically later

This is just an overall about tft touch lcd display. its just for beginners who dont know where to start thats all.

Go on  blast yourself!!!!!!!!!😊😊

i'm just beginner i'm working on it. Studying the basics more deeper and about libraries. If there is any mistake please let me know.☺☺🤗

Thaks ya.....
