Data Sheet

Getting data from the touchscreen is fairly straight forward. Start by creating the touchscreen object

with

Adafruit_STMPE610 ts = Adafruit_STMPE610(STMPE_CS);

We're using hardware SPI so the clock, mosi and miso pins are not defined here. For the shield, CS

is #8 always.

Then you can start the touchscreen with

ts.begin()

The touch screen is made of a thin glass sheet, and its very fragile - a small crack or break will

make the entire touch screen unusable. Don't drop or roughly handle the TFT and be

especially careful of the corners and edges. When pressing on the touchscreen, sometimes

people can use the tip of their fingers, or a fingernail. If you don't find the touchscreen

responds well to your fingers, you can use a rounded stylus which will certainly work. Do not

press harder and harder until the screen cracks!
