Hello David,
Thanks for the nice LIB.
I have a 3.5 inch display (Aliexpress / Kuman).
You might want to add this to the supported boards:
(I am not too familiar yet with git, so i use this way to contribute)

// These are the pins for some typical shields!
// S6D0154: YP=A1, XM=A2, YM=7, XP=6
// ST7783 : YP=A2, XM=A1, YM=6, XP=7
// ILI9320: YP=A2, XM=A3, YM=8, XP=9
// ILI9325: YP=A1, XM=A2, YM=7, XP=6
// ILI9325BG: YP=A2, XM=A1, YM=6, XP=7
// ILI9341: YP=A2, XM=A1, YM=7, XP=6
// ILI9488: YP=A1, XM=A2, YM=7, XP=6
// R65109V: YP=A2, XM=A1, YM=6, XP=7
// ILI9481: YP=A3, XM=A2, XM=9, XP=8

} else if (identifier == 0xB509) {
name = "R61509V";
TS_LEFT = 889; TS_RT = 149; TS_TOP = 106; TS_BOT = 975;
SwapXY = 1;
} else if (identifier == 0x9481) {
name = "ILI9481";
TS_LEFT = 180; TS_RT = 910; TS_TOP = 950; TS_BOT = 158;

}

Best Regards,
John.

I'm sorry I'm such a begginer that none of what you said made any sense to me? I tried once by uaing Google and messed everything up. Anyway you could poijt me in the right direction. I'm new to all this stuff.

This particular Issue was closed.

Install Adafruit_GFX library and MCUFRIEND_kbv library with the Library Manager.
Plug the Shield into your Uno.
Run the examples.

Ask Arduino questions on the Arduino.cc Forum under Displays Topic.

David.

God gave you the Arduino IDE. Use it. Do not try to do things by hand.

Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries
The Library Manager will install or update libraries properly.

Tools->Board Manager can update your IDE.
There is no need to use the most recent version. Just make a note of the version (it is printed on every Edit pane)

If you have an Arduino problem ask on the Arduino Forum. Not GitHub.

David.

You managed to find GitHub.

You managed to buy an Mcufriend Display Shield.
I presume that you can manage to buy an Arduino Uno to plug it into.

There are tutorials and videos on the Internet.
God invented Google too.

David.

Go on. An Arduino is a different shape to a Pi. An Arduino Display Shield will NOT mate with a Pi.

I bet that you own a real PC with a real USB port to plug the Arduino into.
Follow Internet tutorials and you will soon be able to run examples and even write your own simple programs on the Arduino.

David.

There are kuman 3.5 inch touch screen display versions for Arduino and for Pi.

Arduino version plugs into Arduino. And Pi version plugs into Pi.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see which one will plug into which.
You will get far more cooperation if you provide the proper information in the first place. Otherwise you just waste people's time.

David.
