Hi,
I have a TFT Touch Shield v2.0 that I am using with an Arduino Meg2 2560. The IDE I am using is Arduino 1.8.9 for Windows 10. I have downloaded and installed the libraries in the IDE, but I keep getting following errors. Is there an update to the library that I should be using instead?
ERRORS:
Arduino: 1.8.9 (Windows Store 1.8.21.0) (Windows 10), Board: “Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)”

Hi @jbuneo,
The library you are using is deprecated and now only supporting the use of Seeed_Arduino_LCD lib, please check it out Github: https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Seeed_Arduino_LCD
anyway, I just forwarded you issued to Seeed TFT_Touch Libarray Github repo, you can find the issue here <LINK_TEXT text=“https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/TFT_Tou … /issues/12”>https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/TFT_Touch_Shield_V2/issues/12</LINK_TEXT>.
What code changes have to be made to make this work on an UNO?
this is the error message im getting when i try to compile with the new libraries listed above
