Pictured with Arduino Mega and HCARDU0098 adaptor shield (not supplied).
Rear side of shield showing SD card adaptor.
This feature rich 262K colour TFT module (HCARDU0097) has a resolution 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA) and includes a ILI Technology SSD1289 or ILI9341 controller for easy interface to microcontrollers. Additionally this module also includes a resistive touch screen capability making this screen very versatile as a configurable human interface for your microcontoller project. Finally to allow offloading of graphic information from your microcontrollers memory, an SD card interface is also included.
If you wish to interface this screen to an Arduino Mega please see our shield adapter board (HCARDU0098) which will not only allow easy connection of the screen to your Arduino, but will also level shift the interface pins to the correct voltage levels.

AUTHOR: Andrew Davies
This example will output graphics, text and bitmap data randomly to the screen.
The sketch demonstrates the use of these vairous functions including how to
set their colours and positions on the screen.
To use this sketch you will need to uncomment the appropriate initialisers below
for your particular display.
IF YOU GET AN OUT OF MEMRY COMPILE ERROR:
Library support for TFT screens can be quite memory intensive. If you are using
an UNO you may find that you will get and out of memory compile error. To get the
sketch to compile you will need to edit the MemorySave.h file in the HCTFT folder
to free up some memory.
