Good afternoon,
I am using an Arduino Mega 2560, coupled with a 3-axis accel and gyro to measure the angle of roll, speed of the roll and sending the information to a servo motor to correct the roll and keep my platform steady at all times. I am currently using pots to increase the gains to increase sensitivity depending on motions I am receiving. As of right now the information is displayed on the standard LCD screen.
I want to shift over from using knobs and pots to using a 4" to 5" touch screen. If you could please direct me in the proper direction it would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Zeyad

Re: Touch Screen options
We do have a 5" LCD with touchscreen: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1596
You will need a driver board to go with that: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1590
We have a library for this product here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_RA8875

Re: Touch Screen options
Thank you for the information, I did take a look at it...How would I upload graphics? Can I transfer JPEG images or how does that work? For example the arrows that I will be using to increase and decrease the values, and also to dim the screen as well?

Re: Touch Screen options
The library supports all of the GFX library functions in addition to the touchscreen. The GFX library is documented here: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-gfx-graphics-library
