Capacitive Touchscreen Paint Demo

We now have a super-fancy capacitive touch screen version of this shield. Instead of a resistive

controller that needs calibration and pressing down, the capacitive has a hard glass cover and can

be used with a gentle fingertip. It is a single-touch capacitive screen only!

The capacitive touch screen controller communicates over I2C, which uses two hardwire pins.

However, you can share these pins with other sensors and displays as long as they don't conflict

with I2C address 0x38.

Download the FT6206 Library

To control the touchscreen you'll need one more library (http://adafru.it/dGG) - the FT6206

controller library which does all the low level chatting with the FT6206 driver chip. Click below to

download and then install it as before.

This page is for the Capacitive Touch Screen version of the Shield!
