Arduino Ethernet (not shield) plus 2.8" TFT

Post by kolchak »

Hello,

I have purchased an Arduino Ethernet UNO board (single board) and a 2.8" TFT touchscreen.
I have a very simple question (and more detailed Qs below) : Can I use this combination to create a simple Ethernet enabled LCD?

I want to:
- Update the display via Ethernet (colors/lines/buttons/etc.)
- Receive touch (x,y,z) information via Ethernet
- update bitmaps via Ethernet

I don't want to:
- use the USB (other than once to load SW at manufacture)
- do anything "fancy" web server, etc.

I may want to:
- create a bootloader to update code via Ethernet

Can I use these two board out of the box, with library support for Ethernet and TFT as provided ?

thanks,

K

Going with the breakout version of this screen it will probably work. http://www.ladyada.net/products/tfttouchbreakout/
Using the shield version, you will have a conflict with pins 10-13 which are needed by the Ethernet module.
