Description
Product Overview
The 3.5-inch TFT Touch Display is a vibrant, full-color LCD screen designed to bring graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to your Arduino projects. Powered by the ILI9486 driver IC, this display offers a crisp 480×320 resolution . Unlike many complex TFTs that require a messy 8-bit or 16-bit parallel wiring, this model communicates via a simple 4-wire SPI interface, saving your microcontroller’s precious I/O pins for sensors and actuators .
It comes as a ready-to-go shield module (with 34-pin female headers), allowing you to directly stack it onto Arduino UNO, Mega2560, or DUE boards without any soldering . The package includes a resistive touchscreen (with a stylus pen) and an onboard MicroSD card slot, making it perfect for full-fledged menu systems, data loggers, or retro gaming projects .
Key Features
