Review on 🌟 Enhance Your Arduino Experience with ELEGOO UNO R3 2.8 Inches TFT Touch Screen: SD Card Socket Included! by Shalom Germann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic little display, looks great and works as expected, unbeatable price

Fantastic little display Looks great, works as expected and a really great price. In addition, Elegoo has great test apps that you can download. The use cases contain fantastic examples that you can extend for your own use. There are some really interesting examples showing how to work with the touchscreen, how to rotate the display and all that. Really cool. I got the display yesterday and started connecting it to my Arduino Nano - a bit more complicated than using it with an Arduino Uno as the Nano is so small and doesn't have any connectors just to connect the shield. right in. All problems were my own. I struggled with this for a long time because I couldn't manage to display anything. I opened up the Arduino serial monitor and saw good messages that it was initializing, but all I could see was a backlit white screen. I wasn't sure what was wrong so I went back and checked all my lines with a continuity tester (multimeter settings) and finally found that the two data lines were swapped together. I swapped them and everything worked great. It looks great and works great as you can see in the picture. I also uploaded a picture of the back of the screen to show the pinout. Also, one of the problems with connecting the wires themselves was, that some of these contacts are not used. and you have to align everything correctly. If you set it up correctly, it will work. Again
