Adafruit 2.8” TFT capacitive touch (FT6206) pinout + ESP32 wiring issue
Does anyone know the exact pin routing for the capacitive touch (FT6206) on this Adafruit 2.8” TFT touchscreen shield?
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1947
I already figured out the SPI display wiring (ICSP / D pins) and the display works correctly.
However, I am trying to use it with an ESP32 instead of an Arduino Uno.
What works:
- TFT display (ILI9341) works over SPI
- Wiring for MOSI/MISO/SCK/CS/DC is confirmed
Problem:
- Capacitive touch (FT6206) does not show up on I2C scan on ESP32
- Arduino Uno with the same shield works correctly (touch is detected)
- ESP32 I2C scan returns no devices
What I am trying to understand:
- Is the FT6206 directly routed to A4/A5 only on the Arduino UNO headers?
- Or are the touch SDA/SCL lines available anywhere on the breakout pins?
I suspect the touch controller is internally tied to the UNO I2C bus (A4/A5), but I want to confirm the actual PCB routing before modifying wiring.
Any schematic / pin mapping would help a lot.
