Data Sheet

Pinouts
There's two versions of the shield. One has a resistive touch screen, one has a capacitive one. The
TFT display and pinouts is the same for both. The microSD card is the same too. The differences
come in on the touch screen controller
TFT Screen Pins
Digital #13 or ICSP SCLK - This is the hardware SPI clock pin. By default its digital #13. By
cutting a jumper and soldering another on the back, you can move this line from #13 to the
ICSP clock pin. This pin is used for the TFT, microSD and resistive touch screen data clock
Digital #12 or ICSP MISO - This is the hardware SPI master-in-slave-out pin. By default its
digital #12. By cutting a jumper and soldering another on the back, you can move this line
from #12 to the ICSP MISO pin. This pin is used for the TFT, microSD and resistive touch
screen data
Digital #11 or ICSP MOSI - This is the hardware SPI master-out-slave-in pin. By default its
digital #11. By cutting a jumper and soldering another on the back, you can move this line
from #11 to the ICSP MOSI pin. This pin is used for the TFT, microSD and resistive touch
