Compatibility
Designed as a shield for the Arduino UNO, this module also works with Arduino Mega and other 5V boards having the same pinout. It uses the SPI bus (pins 13, 12, 11, plus control pins), making it easy to integrate with other SPI devices.
Wiring Notes
Plug the module directly onto your Arduino UNO; no external wiring needed if used as a shield. For standalone use, connect VCC to 5V, GND to GND, and SPI pins (SCK, MISO, MOSI) plus CS, DC, and optional RST. Ensure the backlight pin is controlled via PWM if dimming is required.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Mega?
Yes, it works if you connect the SPI to pins 50-53 and ensure library support for those pin mappings.
Does this module support capacitive touch?
No, this model uses resistive touch which works with any stylus or fingertip, but does not support multi-touch.
What libraries should I use for graphics?
Use the popular GFX and ILI9486 libraries available in the Arduino Library Manager for easy graphics and touch handling.
