We're selling this module bare for those who want to integrate it into their own

project. If this is your first time working with this TFT we suggest our breakout

board which makes it easy to use SPI or 8-bit interfacing and also has mounting

holes, level shifting, etc.. Otherwise you can pick up one of our 50-pin FPC

breakouts and an 50-pin FPC connector and solder it up by hand. For the TFT

command set, the data sheet is very complete, but we also have some Arduino

code you can refer to here to get started

A 50 pin, 0.5mm pitch, top-contact FPC connector is required to connect to this

screen. We show one in the photos but it is not included! You cannot solder this

connector directly to a PCB - a matching connector is required, you can pick one

up here.

The resistive touch screen is a classic 'analog' touch screen which requires

either a micro controller with analog inputs OR the use of a touch screen

controller such as this one
