Not able to to display anything on NHD_7.0800-400FT-CSXP-CTP
I'm testing things with a Arduino UNO using your FT81s-Shield with no Luck.
I've downloaded the EVE-TFT-Module Examples and those work fine.
I'm looking to use it with the Adafruit GFX Library.
I've tried other drivers like the "FT81x_Arduino_Driver" with no luck.
What driver would you recommend for the Adafruit GFX Library?
Thanks,

Hi Lawrence,
Because the EVE displays uses the FT81x EVE chip, there is already a built in geometric engine that can already handle drawing circles, lines, rectangles, and other functions. I suggest using the Gameduino 2 library that is compatible with the EVE chip. You can find it here:

I don't believe that Adafruit has support for the FT81x chips that our EVE displays have. You would need to write your own interface so the GFX library can properly communicate with the EVE chip.

I wanted to stay with the Adafruit GFX Library because I already have software done. I was looking into a better display.
Looks Like I need to do a major rewrite. Not a problem. Onto Plan B. What would be a good Library to use for a Arduino DUE, Arduino GIGA R1 or the Adafruit Grand Central Boards?
Thanks,
Larry

I suggest using the Gameduino Library. We have a tutorial on our website here:
