    1. I'm not sure other product using CTE32HR.

      But for my sample, it does not support touch.

    1. devi cambiare il shield model presente nel codice. esempio generalmente trovi UTFT myGLCD(LPH9135,6,5,2,3,4); or UTFT myGLCD(ITDB32S,38,39,40,41); changes whit UTFT myGLCD(CTE32HR,38,39,40,41);

  3. Ciao! ho un display 3,6" tftlcd for arduino mega 2560 http://www.mcufriend.com.
    in passato mi funzionava. ora non riesco a vedere nulla tranne qualche lampeggio occasionale. Idee sul controller usato ? (io ho scritto ILI9327)
    la domanda: si può interrogare il TFTLCD per sapere il nome del controller ?
    Fausto

  5. Can I ask you something? which pin did you used for this LCD? I look from picture, that shield is connected with many pin of ATMEGA2560, but I need some of pins for ultrasonic sensor, proximity,humidity etc.
    Thanks, I hope you will reply my comment :)

  6. I have to use the model parameter:
    UTFT myGLCD(CTE40, 38,39,40,41); on my Mega 2560 using the TFT_320QVT_9341 for it to work using the libraries. I still cannot get the UTFT calibration to work. I get the initial calibration welcome screen but NO X block boxes.
