## Description

ELEGOO UNO R3 2.8 Inches TFT Touch Screen with SD Card Socket w/All Technical Data in CD for Arduino UNO R3 : desertcart.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science

Review: Great little board - also the missing manual. - I'm happy with this module, it comes with a micro-SD card reader, touch layer, and TFT Liquid Crystal Display all in one. I didn't expect much to work properly given this board is 4 times cheaper than the well known touchscreen display on the market. But I've been happily surprised. Everything works smoothly, and the touchscreen is accurate in reading points across the entire surface. (There is NO calibration issue as you control the offset in code yourself) The card - being a shield - means you can just line up the pins on the board to the mount holes on the Arduino, and the card pushes firmly into place. The mini CD that comes with the device (see below for a link) has all you need to get it running, the drivers, libraries, and example code. Once I'd placed the libraries into the Arduino system, I opened the 6 examples and they all ran without issue. It was great! The build quality is excellent - the surface mount chips are all soldered well, the display is mounted cleanly on the PCB. You even get a little plastic stylus for the capacitive touchscreen. Warning! You might need to power your Arduino board along with the USB power. I found my little laptop couldn't power the bright white screen LED's, RGB screen, and Arduino all at the same time. The Arduino would repeatedly "unplug", and then "replug". Once I'd supplied extra power through the Arduino jack plug, it stayed connected. No more brown-outs. I might just buy another one to build a permanent project. -------------------------------- As you NEED to know what the electronic details are, I've included the CD contents on my site: Untamed Dot Co Dot Uk The link is right at the top, and includes the PDF's of the datasheets and libraries and examples. The missing manual. (At least on the product page) Key features: Driver chip : LGDP4535 (The CD also includes data sheet for the ILI9341) Level converter : 5v to 3.3v Screen resolution : 320 x 240 Screen colour: RGB, 65,000 colour. Uses 8 bit parallel bus. Includes Micro SD card holder. Includes Arduino libraries and examples.
Review: Updated review: Glad I gave this a second chance! - Edited review: I decided to try another one of these screens since writing the first review and have changed my review from 3 to 5 stars as the unit I got was clearly a rogue defective unit! I contacted Elegoo and their customer service team were great so after looking around and not finding much else suitable for my project, I took a risk and tried the screen again. The new screen works as advertised and was bright and colourful! The touch screen feature clearly worked well this time and was everything I had originally hoped it would be. I haven't used the SD card as it doesn't suit my project, but if everything is as good as the rest I would be happy with it. Really blown away this time and glad I gave the screen a second chance! Both screens came well packaged and with lots of documentation and examples. Yeah, glad I tried this again! Original review: I was looking forward to receiving this item as I had plans for a project that would use it. When it arrived I was surprised to see that it was in "Shield" form, meaning that it fit directly into the pins of my UNO compatible. It was well packaged and came with a small stylus. Initially, the screen worked well and was bright and colourful. It worked well and does exactly what it is supposed to. My only gripe with the operation of the shield was the "touch" features of the touchscreen. In my case they were not very sensitive and trying to get something to happen via the supplied example sketches the screen cracked. Now this might have been me being a bit heavy-handed, but I don't think so... From the first day of trying this (a week ago) I've been somewhat suspicious that something was not quite connected correctly... Most of the arduino based products from Elegoo have been great... this one has been ok.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work on the esp8266 d1 board?**
A: I haven't used it on an esp8266, so cannot give you a full answer, but it turned out that the SD card will not work with the supplied software unless it was used on an UNO. This is due to different hardware configurations.

**Q: Will it work with raspberry pi?**
A: Yes. I bought this for my hubby who uses it all the time for his Raspberry Pi projects. 👍

**Q: Can this screen control LEDs via the touchscreen when combined with an arduino?**
A: Alex. Yes you can. You can turn LEDs on or off depending on what's on screen.

**Q: Where are the arduino uno drivers? they are not available on website. only raspberry pi instructions are there.**
A: Hi Will,
Thanks for your question.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product, particularly for the price!
*by A***R on 21 April 2018*

Using mine with a Uno as a UART to touch display interface. I have a mega that controls my home heating, and through a ~10m long UART connection, I can control and display via the touch screen. The library I found had the incorrect touch pins configured, so if you have touch problems (no detection) double check your #defines. I was also unable to fully configure the touch calibration using the example code (right edge was not detecting), but through trial and error got the correct calibration values. A few suggestions/tips. Although the SD card works, using the sd lib requires a lot of SRAM (512 bytes are required for sd card block writes), so thats 25-30% of the uno's memory space right there. So for my own scenario, I instead wrote code that reads in from the UART buffer to directly write to the display, parsing for commands to set text colour, position etc. By deleting functions/code not required for my exact tft screen, I freed up alot of space. If you are using the screen for something simple like me, its possible to use an uno, however, anything more complex and it does not have the memory to really do anything useful (and only has the UART pins free), so I would recommend a mega. I was also worried that I would REQUIRE the pen for any useful touch input, but the screen is extremely responsive to touch, more than I thought possible with a resistive panel. Edit: I purchased a second one, both going great left on 24/7.
