yes, like Marc said, follow Fernandos instructions on that, you'll need to change a few of the pins by bending them so they do not connect, then with wire reconnect them to different location
and you can see in his photos how he made the half shield, that part is easy though, I took a full proto shield and with a dremmel tool, cut out the portion need to fill the gap when I built my Chauvet controller, it uses that same Ethernet shield

got my new arduino tft and 7" screen today hooked them all up and d/l the sketch and first loaded the calibration sketch and every thing was mirrored on the screen upside down and backward then the screen flickered a bunch and now is just all white any idea what to do next here guys I have cleared the eeprom twice nothing changed
is this line right
UTFT myGLCD(CTE70, 38,39,40,41) ?? it is a SSD 1963 chip on it
on fleabay search for this iteam 351108738638

yes I got it to load and calibrated but it isn't calibrated right I need to do it again. The default passcode is 123456 then enter also my cancel button is not working and asterisk for the passcode are showing up in the bottom of the second line of numbers but the error when you use wrong pass code is way at the bottom some thing seems a little off

the password is 01 28 67 (my birth date) if I didn't change it to 123456, I have it all turned off in my code but seems like I may have left it active in the github download

the button not working is likely a calibration error but if the text isn't printing correctly I may need to look at the code,
I have moved the placement around so much, I may have it off some, since I turned it all off in my code, I wouldn't see any placement issues with it
if you can post a few pics of it would help me to know which way I need to move it in the code

yep, I am an old fart, that's why this coding stuff is so hard for me to figure out, this is all way ahead of my time LOL
back when I was growing up, a computer needed it's own power plant and about 3 acres of land and only NASA or some other government agency could afford one.....now you can put one in your shirt pocket and power it with a tiny battery and anybody can afford one LOL things have changed a lot in the last 30 or so years
oh and I had to walk uphill both ways to and from school and sometimes barefooted in the snow.....did you ever hear that from the old farts when you were growing up ? LOL

I loaded both the 5 and the 7 but since the 480x800 is the same with both, I think either will work...I don't remember now which is set for default but it's just a matter of commenting what you don't use and uncommenting what you do use in the screen selection area of the code
