Hi, just purchased the TFT shield- connected to a Duemilanove and test programs for arduino board are Ok but the shield only lights up, registers none of the test programs, they perform compile OK and upload OK and I altered the define line as follows in the .h program as suggested
// Graphics library by ladyada/adafruit with init code
from Rossum
// MIT license
#include <WProgram.h>
// comment or uncomment the next line for special
pinout!
#define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT
// register names from Peter Barrett's Microtouch
code
#define TFTLCD_START_OSC 0x00
#define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT
#define TFTLCD_DRIV_OUT_CTRL 0x01
#define
Have I loaded this incorrectly?? All other files seem to be in correct folders.
TFT Shield function

Re: TFT Shield function
uncomment this line in TFTLCD.h as it says in the web tutorial, so that it reads like this:
// comment or uncomment the next line for special pinout!
#define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT
BTW: where is the explanation of what this does and when/why to use it?
Also the library names don't work in Arduino22 as they are. You need to eliminate the dashes so the folder name is something like this:
adafruitTFTLCDLibrary3090da8
Restart Arduino after extracting the libraries into C:\arduino-0022\libraries or wherever your Arduino install is.
Hope that helps!
I got the demos working with a Uno with no trouble.
Hope that helps.

Re: TFT Shield function
Many thx, got all working except touch screen demo where it states on compiling "'TFTLCD' does not name a type" obviously my library loading is wrong, just not sure where.

Re: TFT Shield function
Everything working great now, last problem making the alterations in Notepad instead of a decent word processor so it did not work. then a CAREFUL red of the download tutorial and bingo, amazing what works when you read the manuals and install correctly. Great little TFT. Thx Adafruit.
