## Description

Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is big (3.5" diagonal) bright (6 white-LED backlight) and colorful! 480x320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display, and double Adafruit's 2.8" TFT. As a bonus, this display has a capacitive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

This display has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. The display can be used in two modes: 8-bit or SPI. For 8-bit mode, you'll need 8 digital data lines and 4 or 5 digital control lines to read and write to the display (12 lines total). SPI mode requires only 5 pins total (SPI data in, data out, clock, select, and d/c) but is slower than 8-bit mode.

In addition, a set of I2C pins are required for the touch screen communication. If you're feeling fancy there's an IRQ pin for the touch screen detection. [If you're using just the SPI and I2C interfaces, you can use the built in EYESPI connector for quick interfacing without a lot of wires!](https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=eyespi)

[Of course, Adafruit wouldn't just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!". Check out Adafruit's detailed tutorial for wiring, test and example code!](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-3-5-color-320x480-tft-touchscreen-breakout/) For 8-bit interface fans [Adafruit have written a full open source graphics library that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and more](https://github.com/adafruit/TFTLCD-Library). For [SPI users, Adafruit have a library as well](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_HX8357_Library), its separate from the 8-bit library since both versions are heavily optimized.

We[ also have a touch screen library that detects up to 5 multi-touch points](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_FT5336) and example code to demonstrate all of it.
