What you need

• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• USB cable for power supply
• MicroSD (optional)
• TFT_ILI9341 Library (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Download and install the TFT_ILI9341 library.
2. 2. Connect the display to the microcontroller: Vcc to 5V, GND to GND, SDA to SDA, SCL to SCL, RES to a digital pin, DC to a digital pin, CS to a digital pin, TCS to a digital pin.
3. 3. Check the datasheet for the exact pin configuration.
4. 4. Load the example code TFT_ILI9341_Touch.
5. 5. Verify the connection with a debug program.
6. 6. Add custom functionality through Arduino code.
7. 7. Test the touchscreen sensitivity.
8. 8. Save images to MicroSD (if used).

Example code

```
#include <TFT_ILI9341.h>

TFT_ILI9341 tft = TFT_ILI9341(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_RST);

void setup() {
  tft.begin();
}

void loop() {
  tft.fillScreen(TFT_BLACK);
  tft.setCursor(50, 50);
  tft.print("Hello, World!");
}
```

Mini project
