3.5" TFT Touchscreen Necessary Items? GUIs?

Post by D_Vee »

I'm working on a project and I wanted to use a small touchscreen (2050) as a basic user interface. I'm wondering if I need anything other than the microSD card (and jumpers) in addition to the touchscreen to use it with an Arduino MEGA.

As far as I can tell using the touchscreen for GUIs should work, but if anyone knows if there is a reason that this product wouldn't be feasible for this use I'd really appreciate if it could be pointed out. The plan is to make buttons on the screen (similar to a smartphone) that execute basic tasks, such as flipping a relay. Ideally the user would be able to scroll through these buttons as well. Thanks in advance

That's all you need. It will work for your GUI.
