HiLetgo ILI9341 2.8" SPI TFT LCD Display Touch Panel 240X320 with PCB 5V/3.3V STM32

I love these displays and use them on all my projects. I've bought about 8 so far and can get them to work with either Teensy 3.2 or an Arduino Nano.For operation with a Teensy 3.21. use the <ILI9341_t3.h> from the PJRC--and this lib is very fast connect directly2. for touch use "UTouch.h"3. for SD I use <SdFat.h>4. no level shifters needed5. you may need to solder J1 (I do on all my displays)4. if you want to use SD, remove the resistors R1, R2, R3 and solder 0 ohm resistorsFor operation with Auduino Nano1. use the <Adafruit_ILI9341.h>2. for touch use "UTouch.h"3. for SD I have yet to get an SD to work with graphics due to not enough memory4. no level shifters needed5. you WILL need to solder J1 (I do on all my displays)EDIT as of 12/29/2019 Usage with Arduino connect as usual but power your Arduino with 3.3 volts (just connect 3.3 to the 5V pin on the arduino). Alternatively you can put a 1K series resistor on all pins to drop the voltage going to the unit (and power with 3v3). THESE UNITS WILL NOT WORK IF POWERED WITH 5 AND IF THE SIGNAL LINES ARE 5 VOLTS.update 2/2/2022 tips on usage to get everything working on a teensy 4.0 (or 3.2)/*This simple program will test1) the display, 2) the SD card, 3) the touch screen, 4) ability to readPixelThe readPixel is only supported by some display driverslike the ILI9341_t3 driver, there is a PrintScreen.h utility that will let yousave your screen to a BMP file and draw the fileif readPixel fails try to adjust speeds above.

Works well

ottimo display, ma non funziona la scheda SD per leggere le immagini

The easiest and least complicated way to use these displays is to connect them to a device that has 3.3V logic, an ESP32 board for example.I chose to connect this display to an Uno R4 WiFi before reading the fine print and it didn't work. In fact I thought I fried the display. After reading the fine print I tried including logic level shifters in the circuit and discovered my "fried" display was still good. I used https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B074M8TM81?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title available here on Amazon.The downside to using logic level shifters are: 1) the additional expense and 2) slower display updates. Again the best way to use these displays is with a 3.3V microcontroller.

Works great. As others have mentioned it's slow doing a full screen refresh. However, it does support doing partial updates, which are significantly faster.For example, using the Adafruit Python Driver, you can call the image function and give it just part of the screen you want to update. This is nearly instantaneous, and has worked well for me.
