I ordered 3 units. I received 2 different TFT LCD Screens. All 3 units worked with the touch example aduino TFTLCD codes. The issue I had was displaying graphics. I got one board to display graphics w/o any issues, but the other 2 units, the arduino codes could not detect the LCD Driver chip and only displayed a garbage white screen, kind of like an analog TV which is on, but with no TV signal. After a few emails with Banggood support and providing me several web links, one link finally did point me the right direction. http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?PHPSESSID=gb6saubt17ks4dnmk00pbu7db7&topic=223769.0 I finally got the 2 problem TFT LCD to work after much testing with various libraries and code. Below is information on how I got them to work. The main issue is that for some reason the LCD Driver chip ID on these cards could not be detected by the arduino sketch codes and you have to hard code the ID in the arduino sketch code. I used the TFTLCD-Library-master and Adafruit-GFX-Library-master libraries and graphicstest example code from TFTLCD-Library-master. In the graphicstest code example, I replaced the first line below with the 2nd line below. The original code did not detect the 2 TFTLCD which I originally could not get working, but I did force it to use 0x9341 by hardcoding the ID, and it worked. You may need to try a different ID, if the 0x9341 does not work for you. // uint16_t identifier = tft.readID(); uint16_t identifier = 0x9341; FYI: For the one TFTLCD which did work without any issues, I have not been able to get the TFTLCD_Library_Master to work with it yet. I'm still working on it. It did detect the chip ID correctly, but did not display anything on the LCD screen. However, I used a library called SWIFT-Shield and it's graphictest code worked with it and also detected the chip ID as '0x7783'. Hope this information can help others, so more time can be devoted in having fun and doing real development with these TFT LCD screens.

Cheap and good quality ! Thanks other people for the library info ! Download here https://github.com/samuraijap/TFTLCD-Library The right touchscreen pins: #define YP A1 // must be an analog pin, use "An" notation! #define XM A2 // must be an analog pin, use "An" notation! #define YM 7 // can be a digital pin #define XP 6 // can be a digital pin So it's ok !!!

Decent product. Can't beat the price! I followed the steps written by ringsofdeath on 4-22-2015 and it works great on my mac. 1) Download the TFT_Shield.zip from ( http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=314613.0;attach=121865 ) 2) Extract the zip file. You'll see two folders: Adafruit_GFX_AS Adafruit_ILI_9341_8bit_AS 3) Move those folders to your arduino library folder (on osx, it's ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries) 4) Open the example file _105_touch_graphicstest.ino from theAdafruit_ILI_9341_8bit_AS/examples/_105_touch_graphicstest folder 5) Compile and enjoy!

I bought my 3 devices end of march. The are based on the SAMSUNG S6D04H0X controller. Consult post #7 here http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=314613.0 download the file TFT_Shield.zip, install it in the arduino IDE and you should get an incredibly fast demo on your screen ;-) Thanks to all who contributed in getting this thing to work properly !!!!!

Great price and pretty good quality. Just missing a link to a library to start using it.

Ok, so using the examples found around the web, this LCD did not work, problem is that is answers the wrong ID when asked by the library, how ever is works find if you force it to use a specific ID. So go down the code and find where it says "tft.begin(", and replace what ever is in the "()" with "0x9341", so it will look like this: tft.begin(0x9341); And you will be up and running in no time. if your code has a specific check of the lcd identifier, you need to go in and remove it, the easiest is to "rem out" the "return;" (//return;) of the "ident checking routine". Hope it helps.

The item is perfect but the lack of documentation makes it difficult to work, Very good price and device. I received the item in good shape

I buy a MCU FRIEND ILI9341 labelled display. Requires some modification for the original library's. (Problem with the chip detection, and the screen mirroring) But now it's work. All in all, for this price, it is a god TFT. Big THX for Jaroslav Škarvada, for made the required modification. My library setup is this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t2bcrvj0mwlp8h3/libraries.zip?dl=0 All examples work, yes, include the TFT paint. :) Just unzip your Arduino IDE (1,6,5,) librarys folder, and test it.
